Our company was founded on a mindset of curiosity and experimentation. In 1976, Dick Haworth invented the industry’s first pre-wired panel, freeing power from walls and transforming office design.
Flexible workstations challenged old ideas and became the backbone of the modern workspace. We still think with that mindset today, creating solutions that evolve with changing technology and workstyles. Our culture inspires us to innovate.
Our Power Design Guide highlights the approaches, solutions, and applications for creating efficient workspaces that can respond to changing needs.
New ideas don’t stop with us. We have a deep curiosity to understand how people innovate—and how we can help our customers discover innovative ideas on their own.
Our research asks fundamental questions. How do people create new things? Which conditions foster creativity? How can environments improve cognition? What can companies do to build an innovative culture? We translate the answers to those questions into actionable design principles. They shape the products and spaces we create.
Innovation delivers real business value. It’s not defined by novelty alone but rather by the utility it brings. By prioritizing an intentional approach to innovation, we offer new possibilities to our customers.
For Haworth, sustainability is a driver, not an afterthought. We ground our product development and manufacturing in a circular design philosophy that emphasizes the reuse of materials. This ensures that innovation never comes at the expense of our planet or our shared future.
We embed sustainability into every business decision, exploring creative ways to reduce waste, recycle materials, and make the world better.
