National Design Centre exhibition imagines future offices centred around the pantry.

SINGAPORE – In a post-pandemic office, the centre of operations could be the pantry.

An exhibition on the future of offices at the National Design Centre launched on Thursday (April 8) is as provocative as it is timely, coming as more employees are being recalled to their workplace.

Featuring mood lighting, ergonomic tables and open-concept collaborative spaces, it posits that the office as we know it has been changed forever by the Covid-19 pandemic, in a “fourth industrial revolution” that will leave those who cannot keep up behind.
