The Lista Office ‘Mindport’ furnishings focus upon an array of specific business themes. A series of [LO pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kabin) have been made with a mind for lunches, private discussions, meetings, coffee breaks and copy stations to name just a few.

Lista Office’s concern with [specific functions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kokuyo) is novel. [Work spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunon-furniture-mixcube) are often all-encompassing, allowing the aforementioned activities to take place within a single building or floor. The compartmentalization of enterprise here breaks down these very interactions, fostering a greater concern with particular needs.

According to Lista Office, approximately 70% of employees are dissatisfied with their environments, a sentiment that holds great performance implications. These open designs respond in turn by fostering productivity and a creative staff culture.
