From a Workspace to a Mindspace: The Research behind Hum. (June 6, 2008) |
|
|
Kimball Office developed Hum in partnership with Formway Design. The design team interviewed office workers in different businesses to find out what helped and what frustrated them about their furniture. They also observed how
workers used, naturally responded to and adapted the space around them in order to match their very individual ways of working. And finally, the team consulted with experts in psychology, cognitive and physical ergonomics, and other social sciences that deal with issues of interaction, attentiveness and cognition to help them understand how we as humans perceive and think, what distracts us, what helps us focus, how we share information and ideas, and how we work together.
