The designers at Shaw have been looking to all forms of communication for inspiration—apt In this time of social distancing and limited interaction. Two new collections, Shifting Fields and Dialogue, evoke conversations that are both literal and figurative. “Both of these collections are about creating flexible spaces that encourage dialogue and human interaction,” said Reesie Duncan, vice president of global design for Shaw Contract.
The concept of discourse means more than just thinking about face‐to‐face conversations. It is also about our movement within the spaces we work and play in. “We’ve been thinking about all of the different ways we are communicating and sharing dialogue, and how that translates into the built environment,” said Ashley Olson, design director at Shaw Contract Workplace Studio.
