Lego is one of the world's most creative companies. What kind of office is equal to the task of housing its development staff? Here's a peek inside the company's work space, designed by Bosch & Fjord. It's clever enough, with mildly wacky touches that recall dotcom offices, circa 1999. But there is a strong, overarching design principle at work: Notice how many meeting spaces there are. That's intentional, but it's also a move backed by sociology. Studies have estimated that the majority of innovations within a company come from passing social contacts--people shooting the breeze at the water cooler, or shouting over the tops of their cubicles. To that end, a slew of office-furniture companies, from Vitra to Herman Miller to Steelcase, have been creating products that give offices the feel of a living room, from open lounges to cubicles nested in little clusters, to encourage chatting. The Lego development offices offer a clear example of the trend.
