I combined MillerKnoll’s furniture DNA with Workspace Library’s research archive by letting the human figure — an ergonomics symbol — inhabit space. The stick figure becomes a free agent who chooses which “floorplan box” to reside in. When it comes to the logo, it ignores all boundaries; in prints, it's contained by the four walls; in animated and web format, it stretches and reassembles the layout. I envisioned the design to be flexible and expressive. Centering human, emphasizing the fact that design is completed with residents' interaction and interpretation.
