Each column embodies the essence of “bloom.” They stand tall and varied, representing the diversity of experiences and challenges often experienced in life. Intricately designed, these structures symbolize the growth and development akin to resilient trees in a garden.
The arrangement of the columns forms a harmonious yet dynamic structure, mirroring the interconnectedness of various aspects within the work environment. As you navigate through the varied paths, you encounter a different sculptural element. Each illustrating a delicate bloom, through the use of recycled sustainable materials, beautifully textured 3D printed surfaces and organic biophilia. This conceptual maze invites contemplation on the organic nature of career progression, encouraging individuals to appreciate the beauty and resilience inherent in their professional journey.

Design Talks Lounge by Gensler
Curated by Gensler, the design concept for the Talks stage at the Workspace Design Show 2024 delves into the overarching theme, “Bloom – Exploring the Thriving Ecosystem of Work Life”.
Design Talks Lounge by Gensler
This immersive experience seeks to illuminate the intertwined themes of nature and sustainability, guiding attendees through a journey inspired by forests, woodlands, and meadows. The ultimate goal is to raise awareness and highlight the critical importance of these themes in shaping the future of workplaces.
Exubia plays a central role in enhancing this experience by providing an array of plants that contribute to an organic atmosphere, complemented by a printed fabric forest backdrop provided by Kvadrat. To extend the lifecycle and impact of the design, post-event will see the return of plants and furniture to stock, while the fabric finds a second life in charity projects, ensuring a sustainable and waste-free approach.
The flooring, supplied by Mogu, stands out for its 100% sustainability, reinforcing the environmentally conscious ethos of the overall stage design, with the furniture and lighting carefully selected from andreuworld respectively. Both brands are renowned for their commitment to sustainability, and detailed eco-friendly practices.

Adhering to the show’s overarching theme, “Bloom – Exploring the Thriving Ecosystem of Work Life,” Lisa’s concept will focus on the symbiotic relationship between man and nature, often referred to as ‘biophilia’. Her vision will become a reality through the creative implementation of natural materials, promoting their purpose and validity within the workplace environment.
Lisa’s preference for natural materials over synthetic counterparts and plastics is underpinned by several factors. The adoption of materials such as wood and stone not only provides an aesthetically pleasing and timeless design, fostering a warm and inviting atmosphere, but also positively influences mood and well-being. Lisa asserts, “Despite being consistently reminded of our connection to nature through our senses, this connection tends to diminish when we find ourselves indoors, surrounded by artificial light and synthetic materials. Therefore, by adhering to biophilic design principles, the inclusion of natural materials will establish a connection to nature, bolstering concentration, creativity, and job satisfaction.”
The durability and longevity of these natural materials will also contribute to any workspace’s sustainability, by minimizing the need for frequent replacements. Their environmentally friendly nature, coupled with the ability to enhance indoor air quality, further strengthens their appeal. Visitors to the VIP lounge can enjoy a tactile experience, and encounter the customizable options and unique qualities of natural materials, which are sure to enrich the overall comfort and engagement of individuals in the workplace. It is Lisa’s hope that these types of organic elements will one day be the preferred choice for cultivating healthier and more inspiring working environments.
