We have analyzed over 50 industry reports, many interviews and expert commentaries. We have used the know-how of our partners (among others Haworth, Actiu, BuzziSpace, Framery and Vitra). We have looked for ideas for the future in essays by renowned Polish writers (e.g. Olga Tokarczuk, Jacek Dukaj, Andrzej Stasiuk). We have read reports from China which had to look for solutions a few weeks earlier than us. Finally, we have prepared the most important conclusions. Here they are.

We slowly return to work in the offices and live meetings. However, companies encouraged by the success of webinars from recent weeks, maintain a diverse programme of lectures, workshops and interviews. Here is a list of the most interesting proposals in May (and a few in June).

„Workplace” - one of the lesser-known productions by Gary Hustwit, who specialises in topics connected to design. This time Hustwit looks at ideas and experiments conducted in search for the shape of a future office.
