Ergonomic desk systems like c: scape by Steelcase allow for open-plan collaboration while ensuring employees have designated personal spaces. The ultimate modular and scalable workspace solution, c: space allows teams to set up, break down, reconfigure, expand, and modify workstations and collaborative workspaces as needs change.

Whether it’s our c: scape, our lineup of freestanding desk systems, the Steelcase Flex Collection, or our Kick System, the Workspace Inc. team offers several ergonomic, modular furniture solutions that allow for improved open-plan synergies that improve visibility without sacrificing personal privacy.

When it comes to optimizing spatial solutions, Workspace Inc. has several design and installation options that can create collaborative work zones for optimized teamwork throughout. These solutions allow for the creation of lounge areas where group interaction and engagement are maximized while also ensuring secluded seating areas to give workable teams the ultimate in flexibility.

Whether it’s our products, like our i2i collaborative chair or Cobi, or our modular and flexible products like our Alight Ottomans, there are several ways to create the perfect seating arrangements for improved brainstorming and team collaboration.

It’s not just about choosing ergonomic and modular furniture solutions. It’s ultimately about how you plan your office layout.

1. First, design your office so that there are clearly defined open areas for team meetings and brainstorming.
2. Second, include semi-open spaces within your overall office layout. These spaces can include low partitions to encourage open communication and collaboration.
3. Third, use high partitions and enclosed offices for designated private and quiet spaces for employees.

All three help to optimize layouts while creating an environment that improves collaborative efforts and individual focus.

Don’t be afraid to leverage technology and all its benefits within shared work areas and whisper-quiet work zones. Workspace Inc. offers several technology-focused solutions that encourage teamwork while also encouraging head-down, work-focused concentration.

One such solution includes media: scape. This fully integrated platform ensures your team can bring the insights of different people and information into one, all-encompassing and extremely comfortable location. From sharing content to staying connected with off-site employees in real-time to holding hybrid meetings for brainstorming work sessions, this is the ultimate teamwork solution.
