„The DREAM FACTORY“ - A Visit to the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein

We finally made it to the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein. Vitra Trendscout Raphael Gielgen took the time to show us around this truly special place. Come along with us, enjoy the beautiful architecture and modern workspaces and find out why Katinka really had to step out of her comfort zone this time.

Our videos and vlogs are about our journey to New Work. And since New Work is about the things that we really, really want to do it's an exciting journey that is nowhere near the end.

About myself:

[joerghh]

Working in German automotive industry, I can confirm that most people here hate "open spaces" due to the mentioned reasons ( noisy, crouded...). Many colleagues wear headphones the whole day. Interestly enough, the managers who implemented those open spaces, insist on having their own separated rooms 😉

Thank you so much!

Regarding the Open Space topic, could you elaborate (maybe in a talk with Christoph), what implementations of open spaces do work, which don’t, what is critical for the success, what should be avoided at all cost etc?
Furniture, Culture, Rules... I know this is a big question, but it would be super interesting.

It will be interesting to see a study comparing open space vs cube/cell space (rooms) relating to people efficiency and productivity. There are lots of nice open space offices, but people don't like it because of all the reasons you have mentioned at the end of the video. I think, the perfect office hasn't been design yet :-)
