Netflix for furniture? Bamboo-back chairs? Modular furniture? There was a lot to take in at this year's 3daysofdesign festival! Kathryn Lopez, Kristin Simmons, and Martha Keller RID, WELL AP were on-site to share their most exciting finds, and now we're sharing them with you. NORNORM is about to launch a subscription service that will allow users to switch out furniture as needed or based on packages. It's expected to hit New York soon, with a rollout to other markets after. GUBI is focused on sustainability, using recycled plastics and fast-growing renewable materials like bamboo and rattan for its Beetle Chair. Finally, Vitra's modular sofa will allow for more freedom and flexibility in your space. With workspace flexibility on everyone's minds, modular furniture is an efficient solution for any space and budget. What were some of your favorite trends to come out of this year's 3daysofdesign? Let us know in the comments! #PDR #WeArePDR #3daysofdesign #design #sustainability #workplacedesign #workspaceflexibility

The most compelling workplaces have common characteristics that transcend location, work style, and industry — one attribute being the seamless integration of inside and outside. Flexible work and social spaces, coupled with access to outdoor courtyards and terraces, provide a healing environment that humans crave while boosting the well-being needed for productivity and business success. Take The Assembly, for instance. Upon entering, the spacious main area reveals views of the vast lush terrace from many vantage points, making for more energized focused work, meetings, happy hours, or spontaneous employee connections.

Let's celebrate our talented Assistant Technical Designer, Hannah Lansford! She was recently honored as one of Interior Design Magazine's 30 Under 30 Houston Designers. With a year at PDR under her belt, Hannah has already made significant contributions to our team and projects. Hannah's design philosophy emphasizes the importance of integrating conceptual aspects into real-world applications. She believes in understanding the needs of clients to create spaces that truly benefit and serve them. Her passion for design is fueled by her interest in typography, digital art, abstract architectural studies, and the profound impact spaces have on people. Knowing that the projects she works on positively affect the daily lives of those who encounter them is a major motivator for her. In addition to her accomplishments, Hannah has achieved her WELL AP certification and is currently pursuing her NCIDQ. We are thrilled to have Hannah on our team, and we can't wait to see what she accomplishes next!

In a recent panel discussion for the Assurant Real Estate Summit, PDR Design Director Laura Beth Mertz joined Beth Ann Siegel (JLL) to discuss trends shaping the future of work. AI design, neurodiversity, and the importance of investing in experience will be critical initiatives organizations must prioritize in the coming years. Doing so means creating adaptable organizations that can be agile as the world changes and new generations enter the workplace. Work has changed, and so must the workplace experience. Special thanks to Beth Ann Siegel (JLL) for collaborating on this presentation and to Ron Lewis (Assurant) for trusting in PDR to help shape the future of workplace at Assurant. #FutureOfWork #RealEstateTrends #WorkplaceExperience #HybridWork #InclusiveWorkplace #CommunitySpaces #WeArePDR #AssurantRealEstateSummit
