USM at the Salone del Mobile in Milan

Milan

Too much HomeWork, not enough play?
A dialogue about our work and life, today and in the future.

The boundary between work and life is blurring. Cafés resemble living rooms, restaurants feel like home kitchens, and co-working spaces have replaced home offices.

As workers we are increasingly mobile, ready to set up office wherever we are. Our home and work activities resemble each other more and more. At the same time, the skills we bring to work move ever closer to those we value in our social lives. We can’t seem to switch off.

Salone del Mobile, April 17–22
Fiera Milano Rho
Hall 20, booth A07/B06

Milan marks the beginning of a long-term process. Designed by UNStudio’s Futures team, our booth explores the shifting boundaries between home and work life by exploding the rooms in which this takes place, creating hybrid domestic and office environments hidden within.

And with jobs increasingly replaced by artificial intelligence, the qualities which differentiate us from machines shift into focus. A question posed within each room prompts you to reflect on a human quality. Your answers will inspire the next stage of investigation, our WorkHouse this summer in Berlin.
