18. Delight Studio
The Delight Studio only needs a wall, a
door or large foam boards - but if you have
a dedicated room even better. It could also
be around your working area or the
walking area of the company. It’s a mobile
and flexible space which welcomes your
teams and allows them to create and
design together. It not only reflects the
reality, but also can change alongside
strategies and projects developments.
