Heading into 2025, workspace design is taking its cues from what really matters: humans. We’re talking about spaces built for how people think, feel, and connect—not just how they work. Here’s what’s inspiring us:
Biophilic Design
Humans are hardwired for nature. By bringing in plants, natural textures, and sunlight, we’re creating spaces that soothe, ground, and energize. Heartwork’s Storage Mounted Planter is a versatile solution for adding biophilia to your workspace. Mounted on top of any Building Block 36W unit or the Active Duty Bookcase, it serves as a stylish way to divide spaces, add privacy, and bring natural elements indoors. It’s biophilia, made functional and beautiful.
Vibrant Color Palettes
Color isn’t just for looks—it’s a shortcut to emotion. The right palette can spark creativity, foster belonging, and give every workspace its own vibe. Heartwork’s Color System, developed with Love Good Color, offers versatile options that integrate seamlessly into any environment, from bold accents to subtle neutrals that set the tone for connection and focus.
Sustainable Materials
Materials with meaning. Choosing sustainable options creates a sense of care and purpose that people feel every day. With steel as our primary material, we deliver durable, timeless designs while reducing waste, ensuring every piece aligns with a commitment to sustainability.
Flexible, Human-Centric Spaces
Workspaces that adapt to people, not the other way around. Modular storage and customizable zones make it easy for everyone to find their flow. Heartwork’s storage-centric design solutions, like lockers and modular storage, empower individuals by giving them access to what they need to do their best work. These solutions support diverse workstyles, fostering autonomy and efficiency, while also contributing to a sense of belonging and empowerment. When people feel their workspace is designed with their needs in mind, they’re more comfortable, confident, and engaged.
2025 will invite us to design spaces that meet people where they are—supporting their needs, emotions, and ways of working. When we design with the whole person in mind, we create environments that feel meaningful and lasting.
