The latest planning solution from Knoll, Immersive planning, blurs the boundaries between work, life, and play. Workstyles have shifted from having a linear and hierarchical structure to having a complex, networked structure. Immersive planning creates a space that embraces a more complex social structure by offering versatile breakout rooms, benching that can be communal or private, mobile storage, and open conference rooms. All of this is also tied up in a new way of thinking about technology integration. Wireless, cloud-based servers, and mobile laptop docks have all become essential tools to facilitate the new generation's primary way of working: mobile. Knoll's latest collection of workplace furniture, Rockwell Unscripted, provides the tools that, when combined, create a truly, unique Immersive experience.
