What should offices be? A small town or a camping site?

by Thomas Wagner | 10/29/2012

Orgatec 2012 in Cologne presents the 21st-century office as an urban landscape in colors as fresh as spring itself. Seldom does one feel so content at work – be it alone in a cocoon or in a meeting in a sheltered seating group.

Why the office is what it is

by Mathias Remmele | 10/26/2012

Cell offices and cubicles are considered negative examples of office design. The era of what we would today regard as the human office started with the “Citizen Office”. Concepts such as the “Net'n'Nest” symbolize the attempt to combine networking and concentrated work. So will we in future work in a kind of adventure playground for adults?

by Thomas Wagner | 11/9/2010

by Nina Reetzke | 11/2/2010

Perfecting the Invisible

3/5/2010

Discretion is a fine thing. What we don't need to see relieves the burden on our eyes. Where a building's appearance recedes subtly into the background and systems that are essential for a building's functionality are no longer visible, it opens up manifold possibilities for design.

Reflective Rooms

3/5/2010

What people expect of an office has changed down through time. Today, they are expected to be versatile, flexible, transparent, communicative and yet at the same time offer secluded, acoustically sealed rooms. Designing a glass dividing wall is a special challenge.

A Quantum of Product Placement

by Claudia Beckmann | 12/8/2008

Down through the years, James Bond has had to endure a lot, has traveled round the world countless times, loved countless women, and overcome at least just as many adversaries. In the course of time, not only have his weapons become more effective, his escape vehicles faster, and his enemies trickier, but Bond himself has morphed. Yet throughout the feel for good design has remained constant.

The office nest

by Thomas Wagner | 10/31/2008

No, not many surprises are on offer at Orgatec 2008 in Cologne but naturally this depends on your point of view.
