Furniture has always been made to fit our bodies. Why hasn't it been designed to fit our minds?

  • There’s no right or wrong way to work. People need spaces that reflect their own working style. Hum’s open architecture and intuitive spaces make it easier to organise, prioritise and recall work. Park thoughts, make work flow, organise ideas, and keep thoughts visible.
  • Hum makes work mode signals visible by providing clear sightlines so that people can be aware of what’s going on around them for more effective interactions and less unwanted distractions
  • Open storage and display makes thoughts visible so they can be easily shared with others. A visible archive of what’s been done. Show, store, archive, re-activate.  
  • Well timed, quick interactions provide fast feedback and keep work moving forward. Hum facilitates these interactions on the fly by providing natural gathering spaces within clusters which don’t impinge on people’s personal space and ability to concentrate when they need to.
  • Hum is space efficient, easy to churn, has effective wire management, and a stable and practical structure.
