Architecture firm Gensler has created a modular furniture range for Fantoni in response to a trend for more flexible and collaborative workplaces.
Gensler developed the Atelier system to meet the demands of offices around the world, which are witnessing a shift away from the traditional format of dedicated desks towards more versatile, open-plan environments.
The modular structure comprises a variety of work surfaces, mobile storage units and shelving that can be easily reconfigured to adapt to changing work requirements and technologies.
The system aims to promote shared work and different forms of collaboration through its adaptable configuration, which can be used to create spaces ranging from casual breakout areas to focused zones for task-oriented work.

This technology is beneficial to my research because it shows different ways furniture can be designed and manipulated to drive collaboration. This idea could be applied to my research by pulling inspiration from the modularity and versatility aspects of the design into creating a similar system.
