Case Study: Korn Ferry achieves a sustainable, collaborative Paris workplace with Gensler

Korn Ferry reimagines its Paris office with Gensler, retaining 88% of furniture

Korn Ferry, a global executive search firm, faced the challenge of transforming its traditional Paris office into a dynamic, sustainable workspace that would foster collaboration and reflect its future-focused evolution. They engaged the architecture and design firm Gensler to revamp the space, moving away from siloed offices towards a more open and inspiring environment.

Gensler implemented a solution centered on sustainability and adaptability, introducing Korn Ferry's first unassigned seating model. The design reused 88% of furniture, preserved 77% of ceilings, and retained 55% of partitions, all while incorporating lush greenery and a natural palette. The impact was a vibrant, community-driven office that enhances employee wellbeing and sets a benchmark for sustainable innovation, embodying Korn Ferry's evolution into a collaborative consulting powerhouse.
