With the development of modern science and technology, human society has entered the information society. The development of information technology is changing with each passing day, and it has a great influence on human life form and working mode. A lot of work will consists of personal computer, instead of the network, such as a mobile phone, changing the face of the existing office space, resulting in a new type of work and office space, the future era of information transfer in the office space important, will become more and more obvious, the future office furniture must to promote development to the direction of the interaction between people, namely future office furniture should around to promote people's communication to design. Constructed according to the characteristics of a completely different from traditional office space environment, and thus derived is suitable for the environment of the office furniture is office space in the future a conceptual ideas, may have the guidance for the future office space and office furniture design.
　　
Concept office space vision
　　
The rapid development of modern science and technology, information storage, create and exchange the diversity changes, in the face of the growing popularity of personal computers, people do not necessarily to enter through the computer to interface information, while in front of the computer also its drawbacks, such as kinds of information can be complex and different resources in the limited screen space operation, communication media is very limited. As shown in Table 1, traditional office space behavior in terms of interaction is not conducive to people between the multi-directional communication. Thus, we have the concept plan, both for office space can not only information activities in support of the people, they should become the information carrier, thus we can imagine an electronic wall, to broaden the medium of exchange of information.
　　
Wall of electronic design goal is provide a can be suited to the needs of team foundation of computer equipment, as if in the wall of the room is covered with a piece of paper to transfer and presentation of information, which can be embedded in a wall, table, chair, it is a by touch sensors to communicate, information processing device. To make the team use the electronic wall to start the exchange, people also need the following strong software and hardware support.
　　
1 technical support
Hardware: flat panel display (Panel Display FPD-Flat), wireless communication technology
Software: Groupware: is the pointer to the group work and the development of the technology products, the purpose is to promote the exchange and cooperation of groups and resources to share, fully improve the efficiency and quality of the work of the group. Namely: to exchange (Communication), coordination (coordination), cooperation (collaboration) and information sharing (Sharing Information) as the goal, to support the application of group work needs.
　　
2 expected to solve the problem
(1) the integration of digital office environment
In general working space, the space is filled with a lot of digital information, some digital devices, are in the individual is placed in space, such as personal computer, projector, screen, PDA, etc.. And when the people's information need to integrate communication, often lack information integration environment for discussion, namely the lack of provide digital discussion meeting environment. In this traditional model is both time-consuming and inconvenient, so office space for conceptual design purpose is to provide a space for the integration of digital information, through the space of the human-computer interaction interface, the integration of digital information, to benefit people's communication.
(2) convergence of the discontinuous behavior of the office space
The behavior of people in the working space, most around the operation of tools and interpersonal communication, through the use of the media to produce a lot of digital information, and exists in the working space. Can let the human perception of information must be rendered by the interface, to let people know the significance of information and make an appropriate response, and information presentation in the traditional office space extremely monotonous and limited, and can not between people produced smooth coherence and spark interaction behavior, a simple job maybe because of the media lead to complicated, so as to form a space in a lot of discontinuous behavior segment. The concept of electronic wall and other concepts can be used for office space to provide interactive information presentation interface, used to connect the process of information conversion, in order to generate more creative.
(3) to promote effective communication
With the development of science and technology, the information can be quickly transmitted through the network, but because of the reasons for the tools in modern office space, the interaction and communication between people is limited. For example in individual office space, when individuals through the computer work must with other participants share, the method of is through the network to exchange files, followed by sharing digital information through the computer screen, the communication in the office space is tedious, so through the concept of provides office space was like interactive interface, break the existing modes of communication, to promote more effective interpersonal communication, information and common.
　　
Two. The concept of office furniture design
　　
Ideas for future office space, office furniture in the future will be to group communication, individual creative development is the main design objective, office furniture can cover and integration of modern digital information, and whether it can effectively assist the interpersonal relationship will become very important. Figure 2 shows the common forms of communication and communication location map, outstanding office furniture design will become effective medium of communication way and place between, therefore, bold concept of office furniture ideas will be more useful in the future of office furniture design development.
　　
　　
1 arm chair
This is a with a fixed flat panel display of mechanical and electrical integration mobile chair (Figure 3), it in conjunction with the chair of the mobility and comfort at the same time, the conformity of information technology and information interactive communication media with traditional chair, let people communicate more convenient, more convenient access to information channels.
　　
2 independent table
　　
The independent table is a kind of mobile presentation, discussion and information exchange platform (Figure 4). Under normal circumstances is two men gathered in a table for communication and modeling table is light and handy, desktop design into electronic screen, the need of technical support is the LCD screen. This is a flat touch screen type electronic.
　　
3 exchange table
The square table in the middle part of the desktop design an electronic screen, people can pen or finger on the screen to write or paint (Figure 5). This table is also equipped with a cordless keyboard more convenient file input, people can around the exchanges around the table edge discussion while working.
　　
Three. Future office furniture trends
　　
As the future of the era of information transfer in the office space is becoming more and more important, so the future office furniture will toward to promote development to the direction of the interaction between people, namely future office furniture should around to promote people's communication to design. In addition, the future of office furniture will also have the following trends.
　　
1 Mechanical and electrical integration trends
Office furniture in the future will get rid of the currently office furniture design frame, according to the needs of information design mechanical and electrical integration office furniture (Figure 6, Figure 7), even telephone the office furniture, computers and printers and other devices has been "embedded" processing, and convenient line contact, easy to master and its shape should be is smooth and practical. For example on display in the 2001 Museum of modern art in New York a entitled "soft office" concept of office furniture design, the office and rest with the bed furniture installed many electromechanical equipment and supporting the back can the pillow comfortable, the foot of the bed can be folded angle, inlaid on the computer screen, people can around the quilt, embrace the hidden keyboard, mouse, speaker of the feather pillows to work. Designers explained that people feel the most comfortable position is to walk away, want to stand on the station, and constantly changing, no fixed form is the most comfortable. 2 humanization trend
Future office furniture will give full consideration to the human body engineering, with adjusting the height of the desktop, friendly boundaries, make legs free stretch of space, based on human factors considerations for the furniture can let a person feel comfortable, and therefore have a better work efficiency (Figure 8). For example, it can seat down bed; the desk can lift and tilt, the user can easily adjust the angle and position. The back of a chair with its new coordination mechanism to adjust the inclined angle of about 45 degrees to, let users close lying state, when the user leans forward, supporting the head and neck part of the will with accommodation, mounted on wheels footrest, allows the user to complete lie down.
　　
　　
3 flexible trend
Office furniture will be very easy to re combination, because partners and organizational forms in constant change, frequent personnel flow, the space is divided into a combination of inevitable, office furniture and accessories must be able to free combination.
　　
4 simplification trend
Easy to freely assemble and disassemble office furniture, do not need to use the help of too many professional personnel, can reduce maintenance and operation cost effectively (Figure 9).
　　
5 fashion trends
Office furniture style will be more and more fashionable, like the fashion design, the introduction of new products to speed up the pace, all kinds of fashion elements in office furniture will be reflected in the same (Figure 10).
　　
6 intelligent trend
The future of office furniture will be more considerate, more intelligent. For example when for a long time to maintain a posture, chair or sofa will prompt and forcing users to change the posture to relieve fatigue or incorrect posture correction, the office furniture reason with intelligent, in addition to the sensor and the control circuit, SCM and built into electronic computer acts as a these intelligent furniture brain command function (Figure 11).
