Top Workplace Trends in 2024
Part 1
In: Curated Destination | Out: Universal Planning
IN: Is the new workplace as a compelling destination with a choice of experiences where people desire to be. Office workers want everything the office has traditionally offered (colleagues, technology, mentorship, socialization) and everything they have become used to at home (privacy, acoustic control, fresh air). The workplace will look and feel different for each company or site based on the mix of experiences, demographics, and functions at each location. OUT: is the undifferentiated open-office with its one-size-fits-all programing template.
FRINGE rejects the one-size-fits-all approach to office space and planning. The FRINGE team procures unique accessories, artwork, rugs, wallcoverings, pillows, lighting, greenery, and anything else needed to communicate your brand. Think of when you are getting dressed in the morning and you step into your favorite outfit. FRINGE is your watch, your jewelry, your scarf, your jacket, your lipstick—the finishing touches showing off your personality that bring your look to life.
Let's CollaborateIn: Multi | Out: Mono
Contrary to single-use areas, multi-use neighborhoods are thriving. Districts containing offices, residences, restaurants, and retail adjacent to mass-transit and parks continue to attract residents and businesses alike. IN: is the vibrant 20-minute city where all of these amenities are within a 20-minute walk or bike ride of each other. OUT: are the monotonous office buildings that act as singular biospheres in vast parking lots.
Our experience in amenity spaces is vast. Check our latest case study showing how we brought an amenity space to life using greenery, accessories/decor, pillows/cushions, and art/sculpture elements.

In: Biophilia | Out: Purell
IN: are gardens, yards, and parks as desirable workplaces. Light, fresh air, and being surrounded by living things helps us concentrate, be more creative, and healthful. OUT: are the stark, anti-septic workplaces where any living organism feels out of place.
FRINGE is a residential concept translated into a commercial environment. Our team specializes in bringing the outside in with a variety of plants, natural materials and patterns. We create a personalized ecosystem that reflects your brand.
Let's Get StartedIn: Joy of Work | Out: FOMO
IN: Joy, and joy of work, is an important part of the human experience. Employees flourish in effective work environments that support their mind’s best work, but they also need a great work experience — one that captures their heart and soul. Simply getting lost in the joy of meaningful work can drive intrinsic motivation, sense of purpose, and satisfaction. Social connections, being part of a community, and having fun can contribute to higher employee engagement. OUT: is showing up out of fear or mandates.
