– From the very beginning, we wanted to create a modern environment where every employee would feel comfortable, inspired and motivated to work. We wanted to create a space where employees would enjoy spending their time and can collaborate easily with their colleagues in a variety of settings. It is a space that will encourage creativity, learning and productivity. These are among the main reasons why we chose this designer concept, this open concept, in which the seating arrangement is flexible giving people the choice of where and how they want to work. It is a space that makes people more visible and connected.
