Where we go
Where we go
The working space of the future,
according to Tecno.
Instantaneous
— we’ll work in plug and play
micro-environments
The flexibility required by contemporary working habits is reflected
by small, independent spaces packed with accessories and integrated
automation systems. These solutions – such as customisable plug
and play pods – can be used immediately, in any location, without
the need for any structural interventions. By anyone, anywhere.
Flexible
— every space can be challenged
Unchangeable buildings are a thing of the past. Flexibility isn’t just
a passing trend – it’s a consequence of constantly changing work
culture which requires organisational, technological and logistical
upgrades. It’s a culture that accommodates a nomadic workforce,
requires remote collaborations and promotes opportunities
for collective participation. We were the first company to introduce
dividing walls (with E22, back in 1960) and to design modular furniture
(with Graphis in 1968) and infinitely configurable systems (Clavis,
2016). That’s why we feel totally at ease in this hyper-flexible world.
Connected and shared
— no longer will we have “our”
office, but every office will be ours
Sensors and IOT technology will be used to recognise people and
data: thanks to advanced automation systems, furniture, architectural
structures, doors and windows and lighting systems will be
automatically customised to fit their users. In this fluid, constantly
evolving situation, our multi-protocol, open-source Dina system – which
is adaptable to any pre-existing system – transforms the difficulties
involved in managing connected work stations into a distant memory.
Responsive
— we’ll be surrounded by
intelligence (and not just digital)
IOT is not the only thing helping spaces adapt to the needs –
both permanent and temporary – of the people that inhabit them.
Good design has an increasingly important role: not just in terms
of bringing us pleasure through timeless aesthetics, but to make
us feel at ease as we use shared analogue items. This mission
is what allowed us to win our fifth Compasso d’Oro award with
Vela, the perfect co-working chair. It’s equipped with an invisible
yet easy-to-access mechanism which adjusts the position of the
chair based on the weight of the person using it.
