Engaging with insight to create on brand 'spatial distancing'
"Over and above moving into safe distancing parameters for businesses there is the critical component of how to make people feel safe and productive when they are back at work," says Bob van Bebber (Director, Boogertman + Partners .) The solution in our own offices goes further than compliance and challenges the notion of 'distancing'. We want people to come back into the space to collaborate and need to devise tools for encouraging safe sharing."
The floating 2m x 2m grid of balls shifts the idea of 'distance' to create a landmark system of sharing safely. Provided you are under a ball, and the person you wish to work with is as well – you can safely share. The festive grid of markers refreshes the workspace and changes the perspective of how the space is viewed with colour coding that provides wayfinding signals on which way to walk and where to find the hand sanitizing stations.
This solution is a demonstration of how imagination and design are critical components of providing solutions for 'business unusual' says Jean Grobler ( Director, Boogertman + Partners.) "Design the Future is a cohesive service and the opportunity to partner with our clients. We want to engage with them to find and provide solutions as swiftly as possible, not only to survive in business unusual times but to use design to connect with their staff and clients through differentiation."
