# Playful Office Partitions The 'PAIS' Divider Partition Separates Workstations from One Another By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2017-03-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/divider-partition References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2017/03/06/some-pais-of-mind/) Whether for use in a traditional office or an educational facility, the 'PAIS' divider partition offers a playful, chromatic way to keep areas more focused on workflow. The 'PAIS' is the design work of Brigitta Nemeth and can be interchanged onto a desk in order to create different color schemes or orientations. The 'PAIS' dividers are magnetic in order to allow them to be used as a pin board for organizing documents or reminders. The 'PAIS' divider partitions are soft in aesthetic that helps to add visual texture to a space, but that also works to dampen sounds that can be created in a space. This makes workstations more focused on tranquility and getting work done in spaces that boast an open-concept design. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 15% | 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Colorful Office Partitions:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the use of vibrant and interchangeable color schemes in office partitions to enhance aesthetics and improve productivity. - **Multifunctional Divider Partitions:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop magnetic divider partitions that can also serve as pin boards to enhance organization and efficiency in workspaces. - **Acoustic-focused Workspace Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create office partitions that not only add visual texture but also dampen sounds, promoting a focused and tranquil work environment. ### Where This Applies - **Office Furniture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new designs and materials in office partition manufacturing to meet the demand for customizable, colorful, and multifunctional solutions. - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate acoustic-focused design elements, such as soft and sound-absorbing materials, into office spaces to improve productivity and employee well-being. - **Education Facilities:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Implement playful and adaptable partition solutions in educational facilities to create engaging and flexible learning environments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Work-Enhancing Partitioning Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/partitioning-system.md) - [Comical Desk-Side Status Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/work-fence.md) - [Felt-Made Retractable Room Dividers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixels-1.md) - [Design-Conscious Office Dividers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calm-collection.md) - [Air-Cleaning Office Partitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/partition-air-purifier.md) - [Modular Working Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-working-desk.md) - [Adaptive Color Workstations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chameleon-workplace.md) - [Modular Work Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mespace-workstation.md) - [Vibrantly Tonal Work Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/focus-spaces.md)
