open office
No walls, desks
An open office is a workplace layout without private offices or cubicle walls, where employees share a large common space.
The design aims to encourage collaboration and reduce hierarchy, though critics note it increases noise and distraction: The open office made it impossible to concentrate.
The term also refers to OpenOffice, a free software suite.
