Modularity in Workplace Design


Modularity is the level of adaptability in the use of a space and the ease in which it and its furniture systems can be rearranged over time. MMoser Associates, a design firm who contributes to workplace research, proposes that there are always typical "building blocks" in a space, ranging from very small to large. This is shown in the diagram below.

If we look at one "building block" for a moment, look how modular furniture can adapt to a variety of work space environments in just one space.

MMoser reminds designers that, "it is always useful to remember that the main purpose of modularity is to provide a foundation for potential change in the office." Modularity may not always be the answer, but if a business or workplace needs to accomodate for future changes in their company, modularity can be a powerful tool. There are many options in the contract furniture industry who have designed furniture specifically for modularity and the evolving workforce.
