12 Product Highlights to Catch at Orgatec 2022<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Office design has never been so utterly exciting. With a global jolt of unprecedented proportions due to the pandemic, what does the future hold for this built environment? For many, the office is now optional\u2014and therefore must be exponentially enticing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a long absence (again due to the pandemic), office furniture tradeshow, Orgatec<\/a>, returns to Cologne next week, focusing on all forms of work furnishings October 25-29 at the Koelnmesse exhibition center, as well as off-site venues including Design Post. While \u2018hybrid\u2019 and \u2018agile\u2019 continue to be buzz words, today\u2019s office furniture might also be intended for the outdoors\u2014as this year\u2019s launches show. From a swinging sofa to a chair in which sitting is optional to a partition of leafy plants, here are 12 products to catch at Orgatec 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
