Herman Miller has teamed up with Fuseproject to develop office furnishings for open-concept business layouts.
Lately, corporate offices are opting for more open-concept work spaces rather than enclosed cubicle desks. Adhering to this growing change, Herman Miller has come up with a collection that features functional and connectable furniture pieces for bigger layout spaces. The collection features over 45 different pieces of furniture that can be connected together in various configurations to create a customized open-style office layout. To create a more public and relaxed workplace atmosphere, Herman Miller's collection features lounge chairs with attachable desks, connecting social-inspiring tables and compact side desks designs. This allows for employers to customize the size and functionality of the work space.
The collection is meant to encourage collaboration, talking and social discussion between co-workers to generate better networking, ideas and corporate boding.
