Think Furniture x Flokk: Hybrid Office

Event Brief:

As hybrid working becomes the new standard, organisations are rethinking how their workplaces function. This session explores the realities of the hybrid era and how data-driven insights can help businesses design offices that truly support modern ways of working.

Drawing on UK workplace survey data from over 60 organisations, the session will examine how employee expectations, behaviours, and motivations have evolved since the pandemic. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of why people come to the office, what environments support productivity and collaboration, and how workplace experience is becoming a key factor in attracting and retaining talent.

The session will also explore the principles behind designing effective hybrid workplaces. From translating human behaviour into spatial design to understanding how flexibility and furniture enable adaptable environments, the discussion will demonstrate how the workplace is becoming a strategic asset that supports culture, performance, and wellbeing.

Through practical examples and an immersive virtual experience, attendees will see how different work settings—from focused individual workspaces to collaborative social areas—can be combined to support diverse work styles and changing organisational needs.
