The workplace comedy 9 to 5 — starring Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly Parton — came out back in 1980, and while plenty has changed in the typical office environment over the past 35 years, there continues to be more changes.
Sure, there’s still florescent lighting, congregating around the water cooler, and…uh, after-work “recreational activities” with coworkers. But instead of taking the drastic measures of the 9 to 5 ladies, we report the incident to HR. We also tend to use email rather than landline phones, computers have rendered typewriters almost extinct, and now, thanks to a design innovation by the firm Taylor and Miller Architecture and Design, actual workspaces are about to evolve.
This really cool space-saving advancement can also be used for the home as well. If popularity takes off, I can easily see it being utilized for not just a home office, but for crafting, sewing, play areas for kids, and a multi-functioning family den.
What is it? Honestly, you'll have to see it with your own eyes to fully grasp its wonder. But believe me — it’s sure to make your jaw drop.

A small, not-for-profit company needed an office space that could be as flexible as possible.
Their office space was snug and the workforce was constantly fluctuating.
So, design firm Taylor and Miller came up with a space-saving solution: a roll-out workspace that can be adjusted depending on how many employees are currently working in the office.
Each workspace offers a lot of unique storage compartments that are hidden within detachable sections.
These include secret cubbies, fold-down desks, and hidden drawers that can all be folded flat and pushed back together into the cube.
The box can be arranged to allow up to seven workstations when it’s fully unfolded.
Every section fits perfectly into the other like a giant puzzle.
So when all the pieces are connected together, the cube allows room for events and team-building areas in a tight space.
Please SHARE this with everyone you know and be the first to introduce a slice of the future to all of your friends and family!
