Levels of interaction

The space to build relationships

The workplace remains important, but its role has changed. Instead of the only place for all work to happen, the workplace has become the best place for relationship-based work. Design with Impact settings support people at every level.

  • A brightly lit community space featuring three persons utilizing a variety of colorful seating options including the HAY Uchiwa Lounge Chair, Muuto Base Tables, and Muuto Still Cafe Tables

    Community

    The most important relationship at the community level is between people and the overarching purpose of their organization. Community spaces create touchpoints where members of different groups can come together around a shared purpose.

    Group

    Across any organization, groups interact with each other differently. Some teams are more formal, some are more casual. Some work collaboratively, some require individual focus. Group spaces support them all, so any team can find its fit.

  • A person working at a computer in a private office setting furnished with Geiger Taper Chairs, a Knoll Grasshopper Table, Saarinen Executive Chairs, and Saarinen Tulip Stools.

    Individual

    What one person needs to find respite or focus can look quite different from what the next person needs. Individual spaces pull together the right furnishings to support wellbeing for individuals working alone or in proximity to others.
