Fine-tune your focus and unleash your collaboration

Fine-tune your focus with YourPlace Echo

As a key member of the YourPlace family, YourPlace Echo introduces a sharper, more intentional way to work—making fine‑tuning your focus easier than ever.

A height-adjustable workstation on castors, YourPlace Echo doesn’t just allow you to change postures throughout the day – it also enables you to pivot your workstation so that you can find the optimal angle for your work. 

Frequency of focus: optimising noise exposure

With YourPlace Echo, distracting noise can be mitigated by pivoting away from bustling office activity. There may be a workshop or breakout meeting happening nearby; if you’re not involved, such activities can be potent sources of distraction. YourPlace Echo lets you choose your line of sight, orientating yourself away from distracting sights or noises.

The opposite is also true: you can pivot toward colleagues for collaborative meetings. With several YourPlace Echo workstations, you can even create a small catchup circle, creating a bubble of privacy for your team.

Here comes the sun: mitigating glare

Most workplaces must deal with this basic aspect of reality: the sun moves!

For anyone who sits near windows, the glare of light of their screens can affect their focus in morning, afternoon, or evening hours. Sometimes even changes in posture or laptop position can’t solve the problem – with a fixed workstation, that is.

We can always find inspiration in nature. Plants like sunflowers make micromotions throughout the day, turning to follow the sun so that they can drink in as much light as possible. This micromotion is called heliotropism.

While plants want to follow the sun, we usually want the opposite while at work. Glare on our screens can make it hard to get anything done. With YourPlace Echo, you can pivot your workstation to find the optimal glare-free angle.

We all have different focus work preferences. With YourPlace Echo, you can find yours. 

Unleash your collaboration with Haworth Collaborate

The Haworth Collaborate range of markerboards and mobile carts allows you to move your ideas forward – literally. Where YourPlace Echo frees you from fixed focus work, Haworth Collaborate frees you from fixed collaborative work, giving you a plethora of options to share, shape, and move your ideas. 

Screens offer brainstorming space and privacy

Haworth Collaborate Screens are available in fabric or markerboard. Both the fabric and the markerboard options are on four-way-pivot castors, making them easy to move and rearrange. You can even configure them at a ninety-degree angle to create a private meeting corner – your own little brainstorming sanctuary.

The markerboard gives you a full-sized blank canvas for your ideas. Both the markerboard screen and the fabric screen will provide visual privacy, while the pinnable fabric screen will also help with acoustic privacy.

You can also add optional rails to the fabric screen that allow you to mount a Haworth Collaborate Tablet Markerboard, giving you a pinnable, writeable idea-sharing surface.

No need to erase – just grab another markerboard from the Board Cart

You may have joined brainstorming sessions that were limited by a lack of idea sharing space. With the Haworth Collaborate Board Cart, you won’t have to take a picture or erase a promising option to make room for another – you can simply grab another markerboard.

The Board Cart stores up to seven additional Haworth Collaborate Tablet Markerboards. The cart’s rail kit stores each board upright and keeps them from touching, so your ideas won’t be smudged.

Need to show all these ideas to a colleague on the other side of the office? No need to roll seven whiteboards: the Board Cart lets one person easily move the ideas across the floorplate. 

Make transport easy with the Team Cart

For great brainstorming sessions, markerboards aren’t the only things you’ll need to transport. The Haworth Collaborate Team Cart offers three shelves for your prototypes, models, fabric samples, or snacks – because every creative meeting needs snacks, and the Team Cart has room for plenty.
