COFCO: 1946 - 2016

David Einstein's Dream Part 3

Building solid. Building strong. David takes COFCO to the next level during the 1960's.

David's Dream Part 3

In ‘David’s Dream Part 3’ we’ll tell you about how David grew COFCO, establishing it as a trusted vendor in the Philadelphia area. It was a time during which the American Dream flourished and COFCO grew stronger by the day!

1960's: The Dawn of the Age of the Cubicle

Then:

It's the 1960's and open plan is displaced by a desire for more privacy:

Today’s cubicle concept that we all love to hate was initially seen as an escape from the watchful eyes of management. While the open plan concept was intended to promote collaboration and decrease office space costs, it was seen by employees as continual surveillance. The privacy of cubicles was welcomed. But, they were not the cubicle we know today...in fact there were some surprising features we consider innovative today!

Standing desks in the first "Action Office" - the forerunner of today's cubicles was a futuristic innovation only truly appreciated today
The "Action Office II" bore more similarities to today's office designs than the cubicles we've come to know over the past few decades

NOW...

It's 2016 and cubicles have changed again...

Walls have come down, privacy is balanced with open line-of-sight, individual spaces are interspersed with collaborative spaces...
