MarketScale Goes Global at ORGATEC 2018

MarketScale broke out its passports last week to attend ORGATEC in Cologne, Germany. The conference brings together companies and leaders in the design world to discuss the latest trends and innovations for the working space.

The host city of Cologne, nestled in the western part of Germany near Belgium and the Netherlands, has a 2,000-year-old history. This past week, however, it was at the cutting edge of architecture and design.

The main focus this year was the re-imagining of the office space. ORGATEC wanted designers to think about “culture@work” as a central theme at the 2018 gathering. While at the show, MarketScale was able to talk to several industry experts about new products and the ways designers are rethinking what the office environment can look like.
