Features dedicated to the workplace industry
Workspace Design Talks Lounge
The Workspace Design Talks will take place in Square One created by CBRE, a stage design sponsored by Workbrands to host panel discussions. As an epicenter of design democracy, CBRE designed the space as a backdrop for many different discussions on a variety of topics, inspired by the ancient city square in Greece, the Agora. Throughout history, the agora has served as a fundamental gathering place for communities, embodying the ideals of democratic discourse, collaboration, and harmonious coexistence with the natural world. It represents a timeless archetype—a space where individuals come together to engage in intellectual pursuits, debate ideas, and collectively shape the course of their society.
In order to align seamlessly with Workbrands’ mission and operational approach, they challenged CBRE to design the entire setup in a circular manner. This direction reflects their dedication to hosting a lounge that contributes to a sustainable future. To minimize the carbon footprint, the featured elements will be re-used after the show.

Occupiers Forum Space
The Occupiers Forum, designed by Hollandse Nieuwe, centers around the concept of the modern workplace. In recent years, the idea of work and where it occurs has been a prominent topic of discussion, driven by lockdowns, remote work, and hybrid solutions. With no definitive ‘new normal’ to rely on, the Occupiers Forum serves as a platform for these important conversations. It not only highlights attitudes surrounding the idea of the workplace but also reflects the climate in which these spaces are conceived and developed and creating a fitting backdrop for the many inspiring panel discussions scheduled during the Workspace Design Show. Sustainability and circularity, integral to workplace projects and conversations, are embodied in the stand’s Zero-sum design, where every component is returned, recycled, or reused.
The design itself draws inspiration from the simplicity of billboards, a versatile communication tool capable of engaging the entire venue, and with the potential to communicate in different ways. The bold design of the stand is simultaneously thought-provoking and welcoming.

“Given the 18 months we have been through the Workspace Design Show was pure joy – to be able to meet designers, manufacturers and suppliers in person again for real connection, conversations and collaboration. The calibre of talks and panellists was exceptionally high, discussing real and relevant topics and I was honoured to chair a session. I’m looking forward to the next show in February 2023.”
Ed Hoban
“As the Official Talks Partner, it was great to be part of the first WDS, we felt it was a huge success! I thought the talks were all really interesting and something unique in the UK market.”
Neil Usher
“It was a genuine pleasure to take part, and the feedback has been tremendous. On the day the organsiation was super, and I really enjoyed doing both my sessions. There seemed to be a real joy at being ‘back in the room’.”
Sheela Shukla
“The show had a real buzz about it which was exciting to see. It was good to see all the products on display – perhaps as we get back to working in new ways, we will see more variety of furniture settings.”
