Orgatec is a tradeshow that puts our working lives front and centre. The fair is taking place in Cologne, Germany in a matter of weeks – 25-29 October. The halls of Koelnmesse will be filled with the latest commercial furniture and solutions – myself, Indesign Editor, Alice Blackwood, and my colleague Brunetta Stocco will be on the ground reporting on all the new innovations.
With workplace design and working behaviours shifting considerable in the past 2-and-a-half years – with a new emphasis most firmly put on hybrid working – we can’t wait to see what the halls of Orgatec will reveal.

Are you heading to Orgatec this year? We’d love to know, so we can meet you over there, learn, share and connect on all things workplace. Reach out to us and let us know today: alice@indesign.com.au and brunetta@indesign.com.au.
