An inspirational work environment to encourage creativity...
How does your work environment affect your creativity and productivity?
You may have seen the Channel 4 programme 'The Secret Life of Buildings' a while back.Looking at buildings for work, rest and play, the program asked if you can encourage the design of environments that motivate, stimulate, and empower?
''Our working environments lead double lives. On the one hand architecture can be used to control a building population and reinforce a power structure - think of a factory where the offices of the management look over the shopfloor. On the other hand architecture needs to motivate, stimulate, and empower people to feel special and productive. It's a difficult balance to get right and in many ways the modern history of workplace architecture can be seen as a struggle to find that balance.''Watch a clip looking at the architecture and design of Wembley Stadium and how it has, or hasn't thought about the people using it!
Woobius get creative but keep things 'Simply Simple!'
So with this in mind, the Woobius team wanted to give our work space a creative edge and have had some great desk designs made up to reflect each of us!
Each of our work station areas has been given a humorous title (reflecting the person that usually works there) including inspirational intellectual, creative engine (Bob), chief scribbler (yours truly), motivational host, design guru (Sam), woobius friends (for guests), business evangelist (Stephen) and success magician (Sasha).
Ok, so it's not quite the epitome of feng shui but it's a start!p.s - Thanks to Laura Davis (Sam's girlfriend) for designing them!
