What are you most looking forward to showcasing at the Manchester Open? 

Our latest products, designs and capabilities for bespoke solutions.

What are your predictions for the future of design within workplace environments?

Less formality and more organic, natural and adaptive spaces. Technology will become ever more important, but to support and enhance human activity and endeavour. The importance of well-being will grow, and people will eventually understand that we should not be slaves to our tablets and pcs. 2766 Bisley (Multi-draw 02) V02 web
