Learning from IDEO: A transparent space where projects take the spotlight

http://www.fastcodesign.com/1664735/what-schools-can-learn-from-google-ideo-and-pixar?

The design and innovation firm IDEO tacitly understands how office environments help or hinder the creative process. Every decision made in its Chicago design office reveals and nurtures its culture, with an open layout that spurs collaboration. Here, team project rooms frame an open studio for the interdisciplinary work of designers, business strategists, and programmers. A café/forum area, prototyping workshop, Chicago-gazing roof deck, and community garden support the studio’s evolving life, without being too prescriptive.

Are Clear and Glass Dry Erase Boards the Future of Office Decor? - Chantielle MacFarlane  

"Decorating an office space isn't as easy as you might think, but Clear Future Markerboards have invented part of your solution."


The City of London Ontario, Planning Department contacted us for a solution to present large city maps behind a dry erase surface.

They neatly installed a 48 x 72" Clarity Series Clear Markerboard.

The department walls were lined with plotted city diagrams.  The office team plan to remove the board occasionally to change a large diagram of the city.

The Clarity Series make an excellent Dry Erase Map Frame!

This Clarity Series Board was outfitted with custom graphics on the reverse side.  The Trauma team at a Dallas hospital were looking for a board that could handle intense-use.

Now they can clean their board without fear of losing the graphics installed and remove any permanent stains it may gather through commercial cleaners they already have on hand.
