Abstract

The article discusses the processes of domesticating offices and making the workplace feel like home. First, the author describes the ways of taming and personalizing territorial offices: she analyses the ways of bottom- up shaping and taming of the workplace, inscribing one’s identity and biography, as well as resistance and contestation – tactics that constitute answers to corporate strategies. Next, she discusses changes in the arrangement of work space in non-territorial offices. The author concludes that manufacturers of office furniture are important actors who shape the processes of the domestication of space in offices, capturing both tactics and strategies.
