A lively discussion about the fluid future of work at PENN1 with Interior Design, Publicis Groupe, and Ford Motor Company.

Move over gaming tables, employees trekking into the office today are seeking more than a round of ping pong. So what exactly do they want? Interior Design editor in chief Cindy Allen recently brought together four esteemed design professionals for a lively discussion at PENN1 in Manhattan to find out.

The event kicked off with Sheryl Connelly, Chief Futurist at Ford Motor Company and Jennifer Kolstad, Global Design and Band Director at Ford Motor Company, who shared their perspective on the future of work.

A+I's Chief Strategy Officer, Peter Knutson, then joined Andy Bird, co-chief creative officer at creative agency, Le Truc/Publicis Groupe, to discuss ways to maximize technology and innovation during the design process—especially when it comes to forming human connections, near and far.
