Patricia Urquiola has designed furniture in collaboration with HAWORTH that is focused on appropriate looks suitable for the working world. The pieces are aimed to be both versatile and functional.
The pieces in Urquiola's latest collection include the Feather, Chick, Plume and Sprig. One piece features a sofa in the front, with a large screen-like section placed behind the couch. For the work environment, having something like this would be ideal for being comfortable while finishing a project, yet also having a decent amount of privacy. While the screen section is not a traditional form of furniture, it would work well in an office setting.
Perhaps people need to push themselves to think of alternative designs for the workspace.
