Elevate

“Climate change and recent pandemic experiences have increased our desire for fresh air and shown us how vital it is” said Adam Stover, Senior Principal at Populous. “In response, outdoor work areas have become more common, serving a secondary need for flexible workspace as organizations manage to change expectations and understand new needs for their students, their workforces, and their guests.”

Before Elevate, designers were often forced to choose between a dining ensemble and an outdoor lounge grouping. Most dining furniture is not comfortable enough for extended solitary or group work, and lounge furniture is typically too low to support a working posture or collaboration with digital or analog tools and materials.

A swell of residential and hospitality influence on commercial and institutional designs had already begun to dissolve our spaces into something new in 2019. Then, months of isolation and remote work reminded us of what we really needed to be our best: each other along with good tools that work properly.

“The casual, cooperative, mobile-work, posture-friendly, familiar face we were already seeking has arrived,” said Josh Taylor, SIXINCH USA Brand Director. “Elevate allows users to combine function, focus and comfort.”
