Workplace3.0

Expectations are riding high for SaloneUfficio’s innovative exhibition concept Workplace3.0, dedicated to design and technology in workspace planning at the 2015 Salone del Mobile. Milano, from 14th to 19th April.

Michele De Lucchi has put his name to the collateral event on the theme of the workplace at the 54th edition of the Salone del Mobile.
Where
Milan Fairgrounds, Rho from 14th to 19th April 2015

What
An event that simultaneously focuses on each individual component of the workplace, from furnishing to finishing touches, utilities, technology, lighting, acoustics and climate control. Everything professionals need when designing turnkey solutions (from major newbuild suppliers to small and mediumsized office furnishings). An exhibition crammed with design ideas and triggers for inhabiting workplaces in their myriad present-day forms. As Michele De Lucchi says: “Technology has changed everything, leaving us freer to organise things the way we want them and enabling us to work anywhere, at home, in the train or even in the park.”

Why
Work changes and keeps on changing.New types of work have emerged, along with new ways of working, new workspaces and new design demands for making them “liveable”. Workplaces will increasingly become spaces for social interchange, meetings and coexistence, freed from the constraints of their containers and shaped by need.

Who
“We should think of the workspace as a gymnasium for the mind, conceiving it as a place where relationships generate new ideas and possibilities. Offices of the future should be visualised with the focus on lifestyles unfettered by convention, evolving spaces that perpetuate an endless stream of new ideas”, says architect Michele De Lucchi. De Lucchi himself has devised the exhibition/event being showcased in a prime position at Workplace3.0, in Pavilions 22- 24, aimed at flagging up design suggestions and thoughts specifically targeted at the workplace.
