Robert Propst: Unorthodox Thinker
Robert Propst wasn’t always a designer of “things” but of situations. Learn more about his approach and work, notably the Action Office, on our blog.
- Action Office Project Drawing by Robert Propst, April 1, 1964 - Action Office, conceptualized by Robert Propst with final design by George Nelson, was rooted in Propst's research into office function and worker behavior. The system was not a commercial success: manufacturing costs were high, and it was, in Propst's words, "too showy and bright for serious consideration as a middle management tool." Propst went on to design the hugely successful Action Office 2 cubicle-based system.
