Ergonomics Everywhere: Humanscale Embraces the Art of Movement at CDW 2025
Humanscale returns to Clerkenwell Design Week (CDW) from May 20–22, 2025, with a celebration of its core philosophy: ergonomics everywhere. Over three dynamic days, visitors will experience the importance of ergonomics and movement through inspiring talks, product showcases, and immersive design experiences in its Clerkenwell showroom.
The Art of the Meeting: Comfort, Collaboration and Productivity
On Tuesday, May 20th at 4pm, Humanscale will host a compelling session in their showroom focussing on ‘The Art of the Meeting’, led by Oliver Baxter a renowned independent workplace consultant and public speaker. With over a decade of experience, he has established himself as a leading authority on workplace design and employee engagement in the built environment, the world over.
As hybrid work continues to reshape our professional landscapes, employees now move between home setups, dynamic office layouts, and a variety of collaborative spaces. This evolving reality demands more than just beautiful design—it calls for tools and insights that support health and performance across every setting. This session asks a critical question: What if better meetings depended not only on the agenda, but on the physical environment itself?
