In an era of hybrid work, people are returning to the office not only to collaborate and exchange ideas, but also to consciously think and reflect in peace. Companies face the challenge of supporting both needs – concentration and interaction – in shared spaces.
“Focused & Together – The Mindful Office”, the motto for the Sedus New Arrivals for Winter 2025/2026, underlines precisely this fine balance. It reflects the growing demand for mental clarity, acoustic comfort and spatial differentiation – especially since open-plan layouts and a lack of retreat spaces at home make focused work increasingly difficult.
The twentieth edition of Sedus INSIGHTS takes a decisive step into the shifting landscape of work by focusing on one of its most elusive and defining aspects: attention. This issue introduces a renewed understanding of how we engage with tasks and people – not through continuous deep concentration, but through a more fluid, adaptive, and often intermittent state that mirrors today’s cognitive rhythms.
Sedus INSIGHTS N° 20 shows how attention is supported through adaptable, autonomous environments that reflect today’s fluid work-life.
In a world shaped by multitasking, constant inputs, and hybrid dynamics, attention is no longer fixed or linear. It has become lighter, more fragmented, and more cyclical. This is not a flaw to correct but a reality to acknowledge – prompting a rethinking of how we shape workplaces in line with how the mind really operates.
