A Beautiful Divide

June 1st, 2009

When observing the corporate workplace of today, one can draw a correlation between the prevalence of cubicle workspaces found within these companies and the 19th century factory worker’s workstation. But just because the majority of today’s office workers show up to the same cubicle workspace on a daily basis, similar to the workers of the 19th century industrial revolution, does not mean that the workspace has to become boring or monotonous.

By incorporating good design within a commercial facility, the work environment at any company can be vastly improved. One example of this is the way in which the workspaces are divided. The following two manufacturers offer great alternatives to the pedestrian cubicle.
