FALMOUTH UNIVERSITY STUDENT PROJECTS

14.01.16

We’ve had the pleasure of engaging with Falmouth University Spatial Design degree students this terms. Looking at creating space within a space for workplace environments MARK directors John Miller and Anna Hart set a brief to develop a furniture solution to respond to a very modern workplace issue. Fresh ideas developed by students fuelled many discussions as to how will the workplace and associated furniture settings manifest themselves in the future?

As generation Z enters the workplace, the design of the workplace and furniture will need to support employees with settings that go beyond a traditional workstation. Coupled with a growing awareness in terms of health and productivity that suggests a strong case as to why we shouldn’t be sitting all day the workplace of the future should reflect a very different language and landscape to that which generation X and Y are familiar with today.
