5 ideas for collaborative office workspaces
The traditional office is now an outdated concept. When designing a new space, relying on the classic office-management-meeting room combo is no longer sufficient: an extra step must be taken, while taking into consideration everyday needs. Among them is the need to collaborate, which is something that takes different shapes and forms depending on the […]
The office of the future according to Frezza’s young generation

In the middle of lockdown we worked from home. Later, with the lifting of some restrictions, some of us returned to the office.
