Linkedin, the largest online social media network for professionals was moving offices in Bangalore. Their new office would cater to their expansion in headcount and allow for the opportunity to create a workspace in sync with their new global standards, culture and values.
THE "WOW" FACTOR
The work stations for LinkedIn are custom designed by Space Matrix in collaboration with Bristol to
provide high level of agility in the primary work area. The height of the desk-top and side partitions
can be adjusted providing immense flexibility to the end user. One can chose to surround themselves
with the partitions to create an immersive work environment for focused work or adjust them to their
lowest height to do collaborative work as a team.
OUR SOLUTION
