Cloud 9 Rail

Here at Watson we feel that the open office has arrived at an inflection point. The promise of free collaboration and transparency made by open planning is wonderful. However time and again we have seen the increased density and lack of privacy alienate the individual and create an increasing sense of discontentment with the workstation. With Cloud 9 we have sought to create a furniture system that addresses this problem.

To imagine a new workstation system, we studied enclosure, openness, and the way they influence personal well-being. To find a solution Watson went off the grid. Cloud 9 departs from the restrictions of traditional linear planning; freeing space, improving sight-lines, and helping people to flow more organically.

Cloud 9 enables designers and planners to create unique layouts tailored to the specific needs of a given individual and team. These work-space pods can be mirrored, daisy-chained, flipped, rotated, and repeated. Creating office environments that feel familiar, yet distinctly different. The modularity of the system allows organizations and people to adapt to change without disruption or a loss of momentum. Cloud 9 bends space to people, not the other way around, to build a more human office.
