Journal results from an opportunity to rethink the private office, and design furniture that works for multiple occupants. The private office needs to provide privacy and control and yet be accessible for other users when unoccupied. The new shared office, is a private office space that is “built for one but can be used by five”. The new shared office needs to minimize visual and acoustical distractions, yet invite and enable collaboration. For the users, it requires a change in mindset from ownership to occupancy and an understanding that private office space is a strategic business asset that needs to be fully utilized. The Journal furniture collection addresses the activity based needs of these new office spaces whose primary function is to provide privacy, confidentiality, heads down concentration and its secondary function is shared, collaborative, multifunctional, and accessible.
