WorkplaceOne

Our century may yet yield a b

era of creativity, confidence an

are moving forward to addres

design tools to reinvent the o

with diverse needs and diffe

furniture products for an open

barriers to creativity, no obsta

achievement. Teknion contin

that redefine the workplace a

and innovation; as a healthy

brings to l i fe the energy and

old spirit of enterprise, a new

nd innovation. At Teknion, we

ss new concepts of work and

office environment for people

rent expectations; to create

n, dynamic workplace with no

cles to individual or collective

ues to introduce solutions

as a framework for interaction

and inspiring setting that

ingenuity of people at work.

The global transformation wrought by

technology is mirrored in a workplace now redefined as a space in which people

generate and exchange ideas and information. The new office doesn’t look like

the highly structured and clearly hierarchical workplace of an earlier era. And

work itself looks different—performed by four generations of workers who move

nimbly among spaces, technologies and workstyles: focused work at the computer

alternates with frequent intervals of collaboration; learning occurs both as formal

training and unofficial mentoring; socializing nurtures collegial relationships and

strengthens a collective identity.

WorkplaceOne is a concept that represents profound changes in office planning

and design. It is not tied to any one planning program, but offers a diversity

that facilitates varying work processes and experiences. WorkplaceOne proposes

a multiplicity of spaces to support creative thinking and spontaneous interaction;

mobility and the free flow of information among individuals and teams. It creates

a context for innovation.

1.2 Teknion’s integrated product portfolio is aligned with the concept of WorkplaceOne,

opening up the range of planning possibilities to serve the ways people

really work—and to make room for the continued evolution of work as new

knowledge is acquired, new technologies appear and new ways are found to create

healthier, greener work environments. Teknion designs for a flexible workplace

that continues to be defined and redefined by change; for a human-centered

environment that engages, inspires and enhances the connections we have with

each other and the world. WorkplaceOne is where people, place and technology

converge—and great ideas are born.

Ideal for those who work daily in

the office, if not always at their desks,

District creates a sense of place and

provides all the work tools required

by resident workers. A low profile

maintains openness, while overlapping

surfaces, multi-functional components

and compact dimensions make the

most of small spaces.

Shared spaces that vary in size and

service provisions contribute to

employee health and performance.

A meditation room can provide simple

cushions and mats or comfortable

furniture with a residential look and

feel. Lounge settings offer a retreat

for reflection or a place to nap. A

spa or gym available to all staff can

be equipped with massage chairs,

hydrotherapy beds and furniture

akin to that found in health clubs

and airport lounges.
