Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chairs & Ottoman as seen in Continental Office's Downtown Columbus Studio

Like many of you, we may have been watching a little too much TV over the last few months, but we quickly noticed a trend in our favorite shows: Herman Miller furniture is all over the screen! Most notably, we saw the notorious Eames Lounge chair time and time again; one of the most coveted pieces from designers Charles and Ray Eames, the Eames Lounge chair has been such a prominent feature of American history that the Library of Congress has preserved and restored historic videos that will help keep the legacy of this and other Eames creations alive for many years to come.

When we work with our clients to help create what's best for them, it starts with a discussion about their team - how their employees use and interact with the space, and how we can bring to life an intentional, people-first space that's designed to perfectly fit their needs!

Tucked into the rolling landscape of Morgantown, WV, you'll find an inspiring, colorful new space that's perfectly befitting of its occupant: NovelKeys, a company that specializes in creating custom mechanical keyboards, deskpads, and keyboard accessories in gorgeous colors and designs.

We've all heard a lot about the future of work by now, and after a year+ of work model upheaval, we've learned a lot about the importance of choice and flexibility with today's workforce. Now, with many local ordinances and COVID-19 health guidelines beginning to relax, the discussion of in-person work is ramping up quickly, with the future of the office coming sharply into focus. 

Recently, we held a design challenge at The Ohio State University for students to customize their own Framery pod - a challenge that saw so much creativity and talent, we couldn't pick just one winner!

Over the last year, we've all certainly learned a lot about the ways we can work, and we've seen a number of changes already start to take hold and rise in popularity as we collectively plan our future work models. Thinking back to 2019, the thought of working remotely was largely frowned upon by many employers, and the concept of a distributed, hybrid work model was still in its infancy. Now, the distributed model is what many are striving for and what many organizations are starting to adopt; after all, the more flexible a workplace (and work model) can be, the better, according to employees.

What have you heard about the future of work?

Have you heard about Framery's new One pod? You may know Framery as the masterminds of the soundproof pod, and you may have seen their other pods in action before, but the new Framery One pod takes things to the next level.

The workplace as we know has been changing even prior to the pandemic. Over the last decade, we’ve seen changes in style, design, form, and even type of space to meet the ever-changing needs of today’s workers. Flexible workplaces have grown in popularity, and flexible desk options have enabled the integration and collaboration of departments like never before. What, then, will tomorrow bring?

So... just how does branding help a space? How can it transform it into something special, something that tells your story and takes your space to the next level?
