1 CLUBtalk

4 Overview Collaboration is one of the best intellectual tools we have for solving problems or creating something new. It is a work practice seeded throughout an organization and includes spontaneous interaction that often takes place in the spaces inbetween, aided and abetted by technology. The pervasive use of technology to access and share information requires rethinking the spaces, furniture and other apparatus that constitutes the office landscape. CLUBtalk integrates people, technology and furniture to provide more opportunities for effective collaboration. CLUBtalk consists of a cart, table and technology that provide electronic interconnectivity among meeting participants. It enables people to send data from their laptop or other mobile device to a larger display that provides real-time visibility to those who are present and those at a distance. It distills all the functionality of a conference room supplied with advanced technology support into a simple, mobile unit. CLUBtalk takes up less space and generates more ideas. A catalyst to collaboration in physical space and digital domains alike, CLUBtalk expresses and facilitates a culture of active engagement, removing barriers to communication to yield a higher level of creativity and performance. 07

5 Inspiration Inspiration for CLUBtalk began with Carl Gustav Magnusson s insight into the needs of a workplace defined by mobility, technology and collaboration. CLUBtalk expresses and supports the dynamic nature of the contemporary office and the active workstyles of a technology-enabled workforce no longer tethered to a desk or an office. In the words of the designer, CLUBtalk is latent with energy. Action is implied in the design, which is visually energizing to the point of curiosity and very engaging once one understands what this tool can do for them. In form, materials, colors and graphics, CLUBtalk alludes to design found in the realm of sport, including high-performance automobiles and racing bicycles. Like precision-engineered performance equipment of all types, CLUBtalk is exact, intentional and distinctive, yet has a universal quality appropriate for a variety of environments. CLUBtalk takes on color and graphics that convey energy the spirit of a biker jacket rather than the boardroom and three-piece suit. In the office environment, the sportive graphics signify and strengthen the identity of a work group or team, making a connection between the value of teamwork in the arenas of sport and in business. Rather than merging unobtrusively with the office landscape, CLUBtalk signals a unique destination, a place to share real-time information and hasten the intellectual process. 09
