設計師Barber和Osgerby、Konstantin Grcic和Sevil Peach在為家具品牌Vitra舉辦的展覽中探索當今辦公室的樣子。在科隆的Orgatec辦公家具展(Orgatec office furniture fair)上展出的作品，以三個虛構的辦公室為特色，展示了當今工作場所的多樣性。它們包括一個為遊牧工人提供的共享工作空間，一個可以在一夜之間變換的靈活辦公室，以及一個既關注健康又關注生產力的總部。
Designers Barber and Osgerby, Konstantin Grcic and Sevil Peach explore what the office of today looks like in an exhibition for furniture brand Vitra.WORK, which is on show at the Orgatec office furniture fair in Cologne, features three fictional offices that showcase the diversity of today’s workplaces.They include a co-working space for nomadic workers, a flexible office that can transform overnight and an HQ that focuses as much on wellbeing as it does on productivity.
據Vitra說，21世紀的辦公室在不斷變化，並日益融入公共領域。Vitra的首席執行官諾拉·費爾鮑姆(Nora Fehlbaum)解釋說:“我們看到人們在任何地方工作——酒店、機場、咖啡館、海灘、從A到B的火車上。”“這些發展正日益把公共空間變成一個高效的工作空間。”
According to Vitra, the office of the 21st century is constantly changing, and increasingly merging with the public realm.”We see people working wherever they happen to be – in hotels, airports, cafes, at the beach, on the train from A to B,” explained Nora Fehlbaum, CEO of Vitra. “These developments are increasingly turning public space into a productive workspace.”
英國工作室Barber and Osgerby探索了咖啡館和酒店休息室等空間如何成為非正式的工作場所，在工作中有三個功能。這個被稱為“共享辦公室”的設計突出了人們在他們沒有永久依戀的空間中工作的方式。它表明，在這種環境下，傳統的書桌變得多餘了——遊牧工人可以輕鬆地將筆記本電腦帶到沙發上。
British studio Barber and Osgerby explores how spaces such as coffee shops and hotel lounges have become informal workspaces, in one of the three installations that feature in WORK.Called Shared Office, the design highlights the way that people work in spaces they have no permanent attachment to. It shows how, in this setting, the traditional desk has become redundant – the nomadic worker can just as easily take a laptop to a sofa.
“不管我們在哪裏工作，如何工作，正式的工作規則都在逐漸消失——現在經常是在酒店大堂或咖啡館裏。”工作室創始人Edward Barber和Jay Osgerby解釋道，“因此，辦公桌不再是我們工作生活的中心。它正在逐漸消失。”
“Formal work rules are dissolving, regardless of where and how we work – now frequently in hotel lobbies or cafes,” explained studio founders Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby.”As a result, the desk is no longer at the centre of our work life. It is disappearing as an archetype.”
