Creating flexible collaborative spaces for an aging workplace


This project responds to research into the effects of an ageing society in the UK. Through understanding the unique effects demographic changes may have on the future of the corporate work environment, I identified the need to encourage knowledge sharing between generations to create a more productive and inspiring workplace for all.

My proposal aims to redefine how office spaces can facilitate a more dynamic learning environment in which workshops, seminars and gatherings can pop up spontaneously. 

Through extensive iteration and testing, I created a furniture proposal which rotates between functions as a chair and table for simple flexibility.
