Office.Info February 2010
Dear Readers,
Trends, trends, trends and trends again – still in its infancy the year 2010 has poured out its horn of plenty, and how! We were at the furniture show in Cologne and at the DLD Conference in Munich and report on these events for you.
This much is certain: everything revolves around creativity. The thing that fuels dreams has long been a major economic factor. Read all about what the "creative class" is up to and involves – you are probably a member yourself!
Creativity is also the success formula for a typical small Viennese "beisl". What they serve up for you from the kitchen is the office.playlist: relaxed and cheerful food.
And our reference project is all about office design for a food producer.
Well fortified with this Trend letter we wish you a creative burst of brilliant ideas.
Your Bene Editorial Team
OFFICE TRENDS
Creativity is in more demand in today’s working world than ever before. Trend researchers are in unanimous agreement that the future belongs to the “creative class". But who are the protagonists of this new (?) class – and where do they work?
TRENDS
In recent years, people have become accustomed to the idea that the real novelties are not presented until April in Milan. Cologne, on the other hand, has established itself as an authority in design with German thoroughness. But this year’s IMM international furniture fair provided not only a good atmosphere for visitors and exhibitors – it also brought new concepts and approaches.
TRENDS
The mood at this year’s DLD (Digital Life Design) Conference is best described by quoting the adventurer and scientist Bertrand Piccard: "I did it because I could not imagine how it would not be possible to do it."
PLAYLIST
by reisinger's - side from the food and drink, the music plays an important role in how good you feel. That’s why at reisinger’s instead of emotionless radio mixes you’ll hear playlists that the two owners have put together to create a relaxed and cheerful mood
BOOKS
The “Creative Industries”, those innovative sectors on the interface between art, culture and business, have been regarded as a major field of hope and as an employment growth area with enormous potential for the future since the late 1990s.
