Rumor Has It There’s a Trick to Utilizing An Open Space Plan

If you’re in the office furniture industry or considering the investment of redesigning your corporate space, you know that open space plans have been a popular trend within the last few years and continue to inspire new office furniture designs today. Recent articles on this trend, however, continue to evaluate the concept of an “open space” for offices and have revealed that many people may not be as happy with them as they appear.

The majority of the complaints made in each article are valid—noisy environment, lack of privacy, not enough space, to name a few—and are causing tension among employees and companies.
