When you finish, then you can share your design with colleagues. From individual work to collaboration with a colleague, the Focus Studio can help keep work private. Using the AirTouch table, one can swap from a sitting to standing position with ease. The design of the hub also helps reduce visual distractions, while the V.I.A. walls help cut down on noise from the outside.
- Duo Studio – Collaboration is perfection! Bring a project to fruition with a little help from a co-worker. The Duo Studio is fabulous for working together. However, this space can also be used for individuals to work in peace and quiet. Additionally, this space provides enough room for two people to work side-by-side on a project while allowing space to move with ease. With easy access to technology and plenty of storage, working on any project can be easy. When you finish, invite another person to come and review the work that you have completed! Use your favorite Steelcase desk in the space!
