In an age where the concept of the workplace is an increasingly transient notion, we expect more from the places where we conduct our business than ever. Shaw Contract, your Official Partner of the INDE. Workspace Award, is here to make sure that happens!

Designed by Gray Puksand, The Shaw Contract Design Lab is a collaborative space where local design professionals can find inspiration in commercial flooring which is engineered for beauty, durability, and cradle-to-cradle sustainability.
From sleek corporate offices to casual shared spaces, the modern workforce appreciates the value of an ergonomic set up, and seek environments that support the diverse needs of the individual.
With their sustainable, high design flooring treatments featuring in many leading office spaces, Shaw Contract brings a unique understanding of what elements are key to the world’s most covetable workplaces. At their best, these spaces have the potential to optimise our health and productivity, foster beneficial working relationships, and make a joy of our vocations.
