"Design That Moves: How Office Spaces Adapt Over Time"
LAURA PIETRUSEL & ALEXANDRU DINU
Co-Fondatori AuthLine, Romania
Growth doesn’t always mean starting over — sometimes, it means building smarter on what already works. Our lecture tells the story of a company’s evolution—and how its office space evolved along with it. We had the opportunity to design not one, but two offices for the same client: the first, a functional and tailored space that served them for three years; and the second, a larger, more open environment they moved into recently as their team and needs expanded.The audience will gain insights into: How to approach office design as a scalable system, not just a one-time solution. Practical methods for reusing and adapting custom furniture in a larger layout. Design strategies that balance continuity with necessary upgrades. The role of interior design in reinforcing a company’s evolving identity. Challenges we faced with scale, logistics, and functionality—and how we solved them.Design continuity, adapting interior design to business growth, sustainable reuse, functional upgrades without full replacement

"Microsoft OFFICE space_Designing Space Trough Identity"
MARJAN POBOLJSAJ

2. What the audience will learn How company identity can shape spatial experience. Step-by-step insight into turning abstract values into layout, materials, and atmosphere that support everyday work and communication.
3. Main points of interest The interpretation of Fluent Design into architecture, use of four symbolic surfaces reflecting the logo, the funnel-shaped layout for better light and flow, and custom-designed inclusive furniture like the Kickstand Cube.
