Faced with having to make a decision on relocation in 2018, Sage Publishing needed to trial new ways of working for their workforce of 420.  Together with their designer, Twenty 20, Sage developed a more efficient and leaner (agile working) spatial pilot model which could be applied within less space either at their current offices or at new premises. ​

​Sage chose The Interior Works to be their partner for this pilot, trusting us with project managing the whole implementation. Our endeavour was to work with as much of the existing infrastructure as possible and to make best use of different furniture solutions which offer flexibility in relocation. With only a time window of 3 weeks to physically carry out all works on site, our team rose to the challenge with the huge work ethic they bring to all of our clients.

Sage's old office configuration was desk heavy and they were keen to trial new ways of working.  The new design introduces a combination of height adjustable desking as well as more informal workstations.

Sage were one of the first to trial the new hotcake 8- person circular desk. Sitting together is perfect for nurturing ideas; it fuels inspiration, and it's a catalyst for conversation.

​Open plan environments have two core issues – the need for physical (and acoustic) privacy and also the need for internal rooms. Quiet rooms are an excellent solution to these issues and a number are strategically placed throughout the office to provide space for quiet, focused working.
The design also incorporates both a high and a low-level collaboration table for informal working and meetings – beautifully segmented in the open plan space with glass panels and acoustic curtains.

​​The café area is a great social meeting place, with banquette seating, high and low café tables, meeting booths as well as lounge chairs to choose from. 
There is also the opportunity to play pool or table football – for the staff to wind down after all the innovation and trailblazing that Sage Publishing is known for.
