How the workplace would look if it was designed by today’s teenagers

They’re barely old enough to work but the kids of today are already thinking about life in the office, and they have some pretty lofty ideas…

‘Holiday rooms’ – equipped with an underground beach and swimming pool – Netflix areas, and desks that turn into beds are just some of the things they imagine to be in their future workplace.

These findings came from a workshop commissioned by Norwegian furniture brand HÅG, canvassing a group of teenagers on their ideal office space.

‘We want to be comfortable – to enjoy working and going to work and being healthy,’ said 16-year-old Nezliya Muhara, one of the participants. ‘We want to bring nature into work – have stuff in the office that makes you happy.’

Generation Z also don’t seem to care much for co-working. Instead they want a mixture of isolated work pods and collaborative spaces.

Gyms, a doctor’s surgery and vegetable allotments would be part of the post-millenials’ ‘healthy’ workplace. But the group also wanted Segways to make moving around the space that much easier.

We’re surprised they didn’t opt for hoverboards…
