ONE THIRD

OF ALL PROJECTS ARE NOW INCORPORATING A MORE CASUAL FEEL

Today’s evolving spaces are blending the comforts of home into the workplace. This movement is revolutionizing how work spaces are being designed and how they are being used. Through Respitality℠ design, we offer solutions that have evolved from the fundamental elements of both residential and hospitality. This lifestyle driven design adds comfort into commercial environments, humanizing the workplace.

In conjunction with Contract Consulting Group, we surveyed 250 A+D professionals and conducted extensive interviews with key influencers in the designer industry to learn about the influx of residential and hospitality furniture in the workplace. This research has been a catalyst for product development and innovation, as well as creating a CEU to share those learnings.

CREATING CASUAL SPACES

COMMON SPACES

As the kitchen is to the home, common spaces are to the workspace. They accommodate café and dining needs as well as provide spaces to recharge and collaborate. Whether grabbing a bite to eat or relaxing, they provide comfort and a sense of community while facilitating socialization.

COLLABORATION AREAS

Used by a wide variety of guests, these spaces offer areas to gather, interact, and brainstorm. Residential inspired solutions create an exciting and comfortable space that encourages collaboration and boosts productivity.

CONVERSATION NOOKS

Providing a welcoming space for a quick conversation or an in-depth discussion, these areas are designed to be used for chatting or focusing. With an abundance of accent pillows and comfort-inducing accessories, conversation nooks spark interactions and invite guests to stay.

LEARN MORE

Our CEU shares key insights that will help designers understand how this movement will impact their commercial interior projects. The CEU explores how home-ing from work is evolving the look and feel of the office, discusses what's driving this design trend, and shares measurable results of how companies are using these spaces to attract and retain top talent, both now and in the generations to come.
