At this year’s Salone del Mobile, Swiss modular furniture brand USM collaborated with the Dutch architectural practice UNstudio to explore the ever-blurring lines between home and work. Today, work rules our lives, and technology allows work to invade our leisure time even more; as digital natives, we are increasingly mobile and ready to set up office wherever we are.

In this exhibition, USM is exploding the rooms in which this lifestyle blurring takes place by creating hybrid domestic and office environments hidden within. As a result, cafés look like living rooms, home offices are replaced by co-working spaces.

Booth visitors were invited to consider the shifting boundaries of home and work life, as well as share their thoughts on areas such as “What keeps you up at night?” to “Where do your best ideas come from?” Part installation, part research centre; the feedback from the exhibition will inspire the brand’s forthcoming summer work house in Berlin, to explore the topic further and consider how can we learn more at work.
