旋转办公室是nendo为“ORGATEC”设计的空间装置。“ORGATEC”每半年在德国科隆举办，是当地规模最大的办公家具展销会。装置大胆地将办公室里随处可见的方形白板做成圆形，以此营造一个充满创造力的环境。除此之外，圆形的白板还可以鼓励人们改变以往的线性思维模式，用螺旋式或放射式记录下自己的想法。

A space installation designed for “ORGATEC”, the largest trade fair for office furniture held biannually in Cologne, Germany. On the presumption that redefining the square white board, which is a common fixture used in every office, will create an environment that will encourage creativity, the whiteboard was transformed into a circular shape. This allowed the whiteboard to be rolled around freely in the office, and place against the wall. Moreover, it was hoped that the shape will encourage people to jot down their ideas not in a linear form but chained in a spiral form or spread out in a radial form.

设计师在配套的桌椅和柜台上开设凹槽，人们可以轻松地把圆形白板固定在上面作为隔断使用。白板的背面使用纤维材料覆盖，有吸声效果。设计不仅应用于家具，还可以改变空间。通过把圆形白板嵌进地板上的凹槽，人们可以将其用作分割空间的“屏风”，或者是房间和架子的“门”；甚至可以把多个白板“收纳”在墙上的凹槽中，形成丰富的空间效果。这些凹槽除了固定白板，还可以用来停放自行车，骑车上班的人可以把自行车直接放在自己的办公桌边。设计师希望通过旋转办公室创造一个丰富多变的办公空间，人们的大脑也会随之飞速“旋转”起来。

Matching desks, benches and high counters were also designed with slits cut into them, allowing the whiteboards to be effortlessly fixed as a divider. The reverse side of the whiteboards were finished off with fabric, serving as a panel with some sound absorbing properties. This idea was not only applied to furniture but also space. It was considered that whiteboards could be used as “stands” that divides the rooms slotted into a slit in the floor, or used as “doors” for a separate room or a shelf, or several whiteboards were “filed” into the several slits situated in the walls. These various slits could be utilized as bicycle stands, and it could also be envisaged that the bicycles brought to work could also be brought straight to the desk. The aim was to achieve a dynamic work space that would enhance the “rotation” of the brain coupled with the rolling whiteboard.
