A Unique Lounge Collection from Davis FurnitureDavis Furniture, a family owned and operated manufacturer of contemporary office furniture, introduced a unique lounge collection at NeoCon 2005 that was the result of a contest for Industrial Design Students at the University of Graz in Austria.
The initial concept of the project, sponsored by Wiesner-Hager, was to have the students explore their interpretation of the future workspace.
They named the project Cross Office.
The students were instructed to create their interpretation of the future office environment, imagine the situation they would be working in, and how would the furniture interact and intersect the people, space, and work tools.
With influences such as "Star Wars," sci-fi, and being weaned on the digital formula of the 1990's, the students' derived a broad range of visionary scenarios for future work.
Some of the interpretations included pods for community gatherings, self-contained gazebos that could be used individually or circled together for teaming events, and compact units that folded out to handle a vast array of tasks.
The commonality of the designs was a mixture of flexible, casual, comfortable, and spontaneous freedom to work the way you needed to at any given moment.
Stereotypes of structured work surfaces were tossed aside for individual freedom and choice.
