Fig. 16 In the early 1990s, mobility in the workplace was limited and experimental, illustrated by initial attempts to integrate computer networks and cordless telephones to specifically support collaborative practices, as here at Ericsson Business Networ
Upon entry to the office, an employee would pick up a cordless phone (charging through the night in a dedicated furniture piece), as well as the mail in the pigeon hole and retrieve one’ mobile work desk, to sit down by a computer-dock of choice. Computers and plants were integrated to a furniture design distributed around the office. Work was collaborative and organized as short projects lasting 3–10 weeks. Teamwork and documentation were hosted in allocated ‘project-pavilions’. Designs by Gullström and Westerberg Architects
