Beyond the Open Office Debate: Smarter Furniture for Evolving (and Flexible) Workspaces

The open office debate continues, but for many of you, the conversation has already evolved. You’re no longer stuck choosing between open or private. Instead, you’re designing environments that flex with your clients’ culture, workflows, and hybrid demands.

Still, much of the furniture industry remains focused on outdated arguments about distractions, noise, or cubicle nostalgia. It’s time to move the conversation forward.

At LaCOUR, we see opportunity in the space between “open” and “private.” That’s where smarter design happens, and that’s where our solutions shine.

You need furniture that supports diverse needs—spaces for focused work, informal collaboration, quick stand-ups, and seamless tech integration. Solutions that can satisfy stakeholders across IT, HR, finance, and operations while staying true to your design intent.

Our answer is flexibility, built into every product.

LaCOUR designs and manufactures high-performance, customizable furniture that adapts to your vision and the realities of today’s workplace. From quiet pods and touchdown areas to agile conference setups and technology-integrated benches, our solutions are made to evolve with the environment, not constrain it.

And because we build locally in the New York City area, we provide more than fast lead times. We offer hands-on collaboration, deep customization, and real post-installation support. Our local footprint means better responsiveness, reduced risk, and greater confidence during crunch time.

You don’t need another vendor offering standard catalog products. You need a partner who understands the pressures of real-world project delivery—and who shows up with solutions that work.

At LaCOUR, we make it easier for you to design spaces that feel cohesive, look beautiful, and perform long-term. Spaces that support hybrid teams, reflect brand identity, and leave a lasting impression.

Let’s move past the outdated debate over open versus private. Let’s focus on what really matters: creating environments that are smart, adaptable, and built to last.

That’s the future of workplace design. And that’s what LaCOUR delivers.
