On The Move

Haworth goes global to deliver innovation and inspiration for a mobile workforce.

“Technology is allowing us to work anywhere, but where do we do our best work?” asks Kurt Vander Schuur, global brand director for Haworth. The advent of wireless connectivity and cloud computing means work is no longer tethered to a desk, or even to a traditional office. Today we work anywhere, from an airport lounge to home or a café.

As the way we work shifts, Haworth continues a legacy of workplace innovation. In 2011, it curated the Haworth Collection, a group of products that represents timeless value, craftsmanship, and iconic design. Then, in 2014, it acquired the Poltrona Frau Group, and with it a world-class array of lifestyle furniture from renowned Italian brands Cassina, Cappellini, and Poltrona Frau. By consolidating its portfolio and forging strategic partnerships with best-in-class European furniture and textile brands, Haworth has sharpened its offerings to better reflect how productivity now takes place.
