Education Spaces
CLASSROOMS OF THE FUTURE
The future isn’t radically different, it’s just radically closer. Future students will continue to blur the boundaries between work, play, learning, and just “being.” As they use campus facilities, they will expect team-based everything, blended flexible “do-it-yourself” spaces where functions are determined by the etiquette of the users, not by some preconceived signage on the wall.

NeoCon 2022 Design Trends
BRINGING NATURE INDOORS
The comfort of home wasn’t the only warm and fuzzy furniture trend. Wood was everywhere at NeoCon and products that support biophilia in the office are on the rise. Don’t expect a return of all-wood desks and wood task chairs. Instead, furniture makers are adding wood accents, wood legs and sumptuous wood table tops. The trend extends beyond wood and could be characterized by the word “natural.” Materials were natural, plants were integrated into designs and vignettes felt warm and cozy.
