The late Italian design veteran Alessandro Mendini went even further claiming that ornament is a requisite necessary to perfect function, otherwise it just lifeless and bland.

'There is a need for a homely vibe at the office, especially for the in-between spaces that tend to take after the living room at home with a flexible and easy-going feeling.’
