Inspiring panoramas – Four large panoramas show how Brunner's propositions might look in practice. They are all built around the New Work buzzwords of agility, modularity, flexibility, naturalness and sustainability. At the same time, their appearances and purposes are completely different. They portray a "meeting" of the future and an "agile workspace" with a laboratory feel. "We're also placing more emphasis on the cafeteria. It now has a much bigger role than simply satisfying hunger quickly. Employees from different departments congregate here in a relaxed atmosphere. The discussions go beyond the purely practical. This has potential and reveals useful synergies," Brunner is convinced. That's why even the classic meeting set-up includes a lounge with comfortable upholstered cuboid seating.
"Experience shows just how much can be achieved during these unplanned encounters. We want to create time and space for these meetings. Central areas are becoming increasingly important in this respect. We consider our furniture to be tools in this scenario. This allows us to build exactly what our customers want – sometimes flexibly adaptable to the situation, sometimes meticulously planned to create a particular atmosphere," Brunner explains regarding the concepts behind the various configurations. They're all designed to encourage people to mix. Interaction. Communication. Collaboration. Indoors and out, small-scale and large-scale, open and inviting at times, protected and private at others.
