# Pixelated Office Workspaces These Funky Cubical Dividers are Made from Pixel-Like Modules By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2015-07-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cubicle-dividers References: [psfk](http://www.psfk.com/2015/07/future-workspaces-office-furniture-eastman-innovation-lab-mg2-mimic.html) & [innovationlab.eastman](http://www.innovationlab.eastman.com/explore/the-mimic-wall-for-the-office-of-the-future) Architecture firm MG2 and the [Eastman Innovation Lab](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unbreakable-wine-glasses) have collaborated to develop an ingenious concept for cubicle dividers that would help to divide office workspaces. The new design concept is part of an experimental type of architecture, which seeks to bring characteristics of the online space into the physical office environment. The idea is to allow static spaces to change their configuration through the use of digital technology. 'MIMIC' is a design concept that attempts to bring media architecture to the workplace through the use of pixelated cubicle dividers. The concept is based on the idea of a modular dividing wall that is made up of [pixel-like modules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paint-mirror). The revolutionary dividers would not only provide privacy, but also interior lighting, acoustic control and even media display. Unfortunately MIMIC is still just a concept, but plans are currently in the works to create a physical prototype in the near future. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Pixelated Interior Design:** The use of modular pixelated modules in interior design can provide not only privacy but also media display and acoustic control. - **Digital Integration in Architecture:** Experimenting with bringing characteristics of the online space into physical office environments opens the door to disruptive innovation opportunities. - **Flexible Workspaces:** Creating dynamic offices spaces that can change and adapt as needed can be an innovative solution to meet the demands of modern businesses. ### Who This Affects Most - **Office Furniture Manufacturing:** Office furniture manufacturers have an opportunity to develop and market modular and innovative cubicle designs like MIMIC. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can leverage digital technology to create unique and functional designs that offer more than just privacy. - **Architecture:** Architects can explore the integration of digital technology in building designs to create adaptable and flexible spaces for businesses and individuals. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Felt-Made Retractable Room Dividers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixels-1.md) - [Quirky Solo Office Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/work-capsules.md) - [People-Pleasing Office Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cubicle-system.md) - [Dynamic Modular Office Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunon-furniture-mixcube.md) - [Work-Enhancing Partitioning Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/partitioning-system.md) - [Modular Work Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mespace-workstation.md) - [Minimalist Workplace Configuration Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/workplace-configuration-system.md) - [Contemporary Modular Office Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kameleon-office-booth.md) - [Personal Cubicle Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ma-camilla-isabel-reyes.md)
