Next Edition
In a special focus on o ice interiors we profile
THE CORE by Bene, a live, immersive and
experiential space to study how places of work
have adapted and how they will further evolve
a er the pandemic. We also ask, will the pandemic
influence workplace layout and interiors to
introduce organic and home interiors-inspired
textures and colour palettes? Will o ice spaces
be required to adapt to support agile working,
hot desking and social distancing? We explore the
areas to consider when reviewing signage needs
for o ice, retail, leisure and commercial locations;
and how to help ensure washrooms maintain
high standards; from ensuring that a washroom is
kept clean and seen to be kept clean, to banishing
smells and keeping abreast of supplies.
