Spontaneous, free communication, possibly even about personal topics – that doesn't sound all that target-oriented. Nevertheless many people with leadership authority long for just such a kind of exchange in their company. Because by now it is well known: communicative leeway is a positive influence on a productive atmosphere. Appropriate rooms for this kind of communication are e.g. the cafeteria, the lounge – or the small seating corner along the corridor. And this is what this issue of b.link is all about: it's about rooms and furniture that foster and facilitate the informal conversation among employees. It's about situations focussing on constructive exchange. Just take a look inside and join the conversation! We’re happy that you’re with us!

Best regards

Dr. Marc Brunner
CEO Brunner GmbH
