Logovisual explores how open-plan offices have transformed workplace design, encouraging spaces that are more inclusive, accessible, and welcoming. This shift has seen an increase in the introduction of different zones cater to different work styles; quiet booths for focus, lounge areas for informal chats, and hot desks for flexible working. But what happens when a team needs to gather for a larger, more formal meeting?
Traditional boardrooms and fixed meeting rooms are disappearing in favour of a more fluid office landscape. Pods and booths are great for solo work or small groups, but they can feel claustrophobic for anything beyond a quick discussion. And while soundproofed spaces have their place, they can feel isolating rather than collaborative. So, where do people go for strategy sessions, client presentations, or company-wide briefings?
This is where mobile walls and flexible collaboration tools come in, as alternatives to a meeting room that don’t require permanent structures. Rather than dedicating valuable floor space to a fixed conference room that may sit empty for most of the day, mobile solutions allow spaces to adapt as needed. Elements like ThinkingWall® Mobile Media Wall retain all the functionality of a traditional media wall with AV, video conferencing, storage, and integrated whiteboarding, without being tied to one room. It can move between spaces, transforming open-plan areas into effective meeting zones when needed.
These solutions don’t just maximise space; they create better meeting environments. A mobile wall can define a breakout space one moment and support a large-scale town hall gathering the next. It offers a practical, made-to-order alternative to static boardrooms, ensuring every square metre of an office works harder. What’s more, it empowers team members themselves to take ownership of shaping their work environment.
ThinkingWall® products are crafted in the UK, built to fit the needs of each workspace. Whether reconfiguring an open-plan office or looking for alternatives to a conference room, mobile collaboration walls provide flexibility without sacrificing function. So, if the walls are coming down, it’s time to rethink what’s going up.
