Humanscale opens its second flagship in China, marking a significant step in its evolution from workplace specialist to global consumer design brand.⁠
⁠
Located in Shanghai’s InCity MEGA, the new store reflects a growing demand for wellness-led design in fast-paced urban environments, where ergonomics, movement and everyday comfort are becoming essential rather than optional.⁠
⁠
More than a retail space, the flagship signals a broader shift in how design brands engage directly with consumers, bringing performance-driven, human-centred design into the home as well as the workplace.⁠

Is AI making work more isolated? New research suggests the opposite.⁠
⁠
According to the latest Global Workplace Survey 2026 from Gensler Research Institute, employees who regularly use AI tools are actually more collaborative, more engaged in learning, and have stronger team relationships than their peers.⁠
⁠
Key findings from the survey of 16,400 office workers across 16 countries include:⁠
• 30% of employees are now AI Power Users⁠
• AI users spend less time working alone and more time learning and socialising⁠
• Office attendance has stabilised at 55% of the working week⁠
⁠
As Janet Pogue McLaurin explains:⁠
“We often assume that more technology means less connection… but the employees most embedded in AI workflows are also the ones with better team relationships.”⁠
⁠
The message for workplace design is clear: as AI reshapes work, the physical workplace becomes even more important.⁠
