From standing desks to open plans, the modern workplace has become a leading site for design innovation, swapping the generic office structure of past decades for more flexible and friendly alternatives. At the forefront of future-facing office design is the MG2's recent release, the MIMIC Wall digital prototype.

Conceptualized in collaboration with Eastman Innovation Lab, the flexible system is made of hexagonal tiles that can open, close and change their appearance depending on the needs of the user and environment. "The workplace of the future is not an environment that you have to work around, but, very simply, an environment that works around you," notes Zac Feltoon, one of the industrial designer's on the transdisciplinary design team.

The portable, modular system can satisfy a host of daily scenarios: from pop-up meetings to presentations or even just provide a slight enclosure for a quiet moment amidst a hectic schedule. The tiles use Saflex, a material that can be laminated between glass to provide acoustic insulation.

The MIMIC Wall can be employed as a full wall or a partial barrier in an open space. As a wall, it can function as a large video screen, making it easier than ever to connect with team members who are spread around the world.

The wall uses the Vanceva color system, allowing for 3,000 color combinations which allow users to personalize their space while maintaining a high level of luminosity. "Our future vision for the MIMIC Wall is to make it completely interactive," states the design team.
