Characteristic of the early environment at Knoll, Hans and Florence never demanded that Bertoia design furniture, but instead encouraged him to explore whatever he liked. They simply asked that if he arrived at something interesting, to show them. Bertoia later explained the process: “I went around and discovered, quite soon, that I was not the man to do research. My feeling was that had to come from an inward direction. I began to rely once more on my own body. I began to think in terms of what I would like as a chair. It started very slowly…I came into rod or wire, whether bent of straight. I seemed to find myself at home. It was logical to make an attempt utilizing the wire. "Once more, I went through the procedure of positioning, considering the possibility of shapes, then relating, of course, what the wire itself could be, what shapes it might take, whether there were any tools to do it with. There are many aspects of the same things coming into one’s mind, but the very first thing was whether a shape would come up that would begin to serve as a chair, sitting on it, etc.
One was taking the shape of a side chair; another was beginning to extend to care of the head. This developed to the point where something could be held on to…You know, when you have something in front of you that can really physically be held, it becomes easier to make changes.”Did you know cubicles can actually improve your office environment? Cubicles help your employees focus while enjoying extra privacy and improved collaboration. The right office cubicle systems, carefully picked to fit your company’s layout and tone, can be an extraordinary benefit for your employees’ happiness and productivity. And not just any cubicle will do the trick – your staff should look forward to being in the office and excited to show it off to clients. When employees take pride in their workspace, it can improve retention and productivity. There are many different types of cubicles, from different colors and designs to different cubicle heights. For instance, cubicles with low walls give your employees some privacy while still allowing for access to natural light and easy conversation.
High-walled cubicles are ideal for a large workspace that you still would like to have the feel of individual office spaces.

It’s good to do some homework before choosing your office cubicles to account for sizes and location. First, measuring the size of your office is a must – and ensuring the cubicles you choose will fit – while still allowing your team space to comfortably move through the office. Consider the location of the cubicles as well – they should be close enough to break rooms and bathroom areas without being in an area that is too noisy. Try and group the cubicles, if possible, by collaborative teams and groups that work individually. Finally, try and give your employees something nice to look at – whether it be a window to the outside or some beautiful artwork.
