Six new mood boards for the right color and material mix

13.07.2023

Colors, samples, and materials affect our well-being and, ultimately, our productivity in the office too. To have an impact, a coordinated furnishing concept needs to respond to all sorts of requirements. Just like the Human-Centered Workplace, which focuses on people’s needs.

We developed our mood boards to inspire you creatives when designing workplaces like those. Their purpose is to help you select colors and materials and offer a design toolbox for appealingly matched environments.
