10 office lounge areas with colourful sofas

28 okt. 2022  •  Specificatie  •  Door Surabhi Patil

Post-pandemic, office spaces had to be reimagined to fit into the new standards and go beyond their generic, stringent layouts. As workspace trends change over time, new offices focus on factors like shifting employment practices, remote or hybrid work patterns and collaborative culture. 

 

Offices now offer flexibility and comfort as fundamental aspects of workspace design. Additionally, collaboration and social interaction have become central to the functioning of a workplace. Lounge areas are key to this change, offering respite and a space to interact and come together.

 

 A well-designed lounge area can boost productivity and stir new ideas and innovation. A reflection of synergy and well-being, the following list is a selection of ten office lounge areas that help the employees unwind.
