The home as the new office - the office in the living area
Globalization and digitization have turned the world of work upside down in recent decades. In the office or home office and also at a more basic level on the desk, completely new demands are being made. So what is the best way to optimize work processes and the work environment? The term New Work provides answers.

For an optimal work environment, New Work aspects such as flat hierarchies, flexibility, changeable teams, independence and the development of employees are clearly in the foreground. If the CEO sees himself as a team player, the days of the remote executive office with a massive desk are also numbered. Instead, communication stands in the foreground: objectives are formulated, tasks are delegated, discussed and solved in teamwork and personal responsibility. In addition to space to accommodate technology and display options, a desk must therefore have sufficient free space for planning, trying out and discussing.
If desks are used for small meetings today, or in combination with other desks as team workstations, they should be light, multifunctional and robust. Experts in the field of office furniture such as Vitra or USM Haller have developed desks that adapt to these requirements down to the last detail.

Nowadays employees are often on the go or only spend a certain part of their working time in the office. Workstations can therefore also be used flexibly by several people. For desk sharing, desks should be height-adjustable and combined with ergonomic office chairs that can be individually adjusted. Lockable roll containers and filing cabinets also offer storage space for multiple employees.
