Recreating the Modern Office Space

Bryce Stuckenschneider: In the early and mid two thousands, there was this trend of moving away from high walls and cubicles into open spaces. How do we knock every piece of division down and really the square footage per employee shrunk during that time as well, I was used to call it this rubber band effect that it was snapping so far away from what happened in the eighties and nineties at a certain point, it would come back to the equilibrium. But what we didn't know was that it was going to be snapped back by a global pandemic where people all of a sudden needed and wanted more space between them and their coworkers. And so that's a current debate dilemma problem that as companies are figuring out back to the office, they have to navigate is how do I have the tools and the building blocks to actually recreate redesigned space on the fly, because they don't want to worry about general contractors and drywall and supply chain crises and all these. Really building blocks and tools to carve out space and place with purpose. And so that's something that at Loftwall we're really passionate about, and we're seeing tons of momentum in that direction, not just for our products, but for all sorts of products for people who are saying, how can I create an office in a space. That might have a purpose of this today, but this tomorrow and this the next day, and really reshaping the office, not just on an every five years basis on an almost quarterly basis looking and saying, what does our office do today? What do we need it to do for our people? What kind of work do we need to get done? And how can we reconfigure that and really open our minds? Products that allow you to do that are winning the day. And that's a new trend that we're seeing at Loftwall and really across the entire commercial interiors industry.
