Modern Office Cubicles
Modern Cubicles Your Team Actually Wants to Work in
Modern office cubicles should do more than look good. They should support how your team actually works. Today’s cubicles can be designed to feel open or private, energetic or calm, collaborative or focused, and can use curved organic shapes that look completely different from the past. Instead of a one-size-fits-all box approach, we start by looking at how your team works, what you want the office to accomplish, and how you want it to feel.
With more than 25 years of ergonomic and functional design expertise, we help you think through those choices so your cubicles are not only beautiful, but functional, comfortable, and designed around the people using them. Whether you need three cubicles or hundreds of workstations anywhere in the U.S., we scale to match your needs. Read about our recent 500 workstation project.
One team from first layout to move-in day. We handle needs analysis, space planning, design, product customization, 3D mockups, product selection, finish selection, delivery, and installation anywhere in the U.S. all with turnkey support from beginning to end. We also partner with interior designers, architects and contractors.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are modern office cubicles, and why are they popular?
Modern cubicles are workstations designed around how people use the space rather than a standard one-size-fits-all formula.
In the past, most companies used a similar square layout, choosing a basic size and panel height, then repeating that same solution throughout the office. As a result, offices across industries tended to look very similar.
Todays modern workspaces vary widely and are designed on how people also use the space. They are more like hospitality spaces, where the goal is to support how people actually use the space and to create unique looking areas that people are excited to be in. The questions are bigger: How will people work here, and what will make them want to.
This modern approach can lead to curved, round, angled or organic workstations, different panel heights, open sight lines, private or collaborative, distinctive finishes, or to more traditional shapes when that fits best. What makes the a modern design is that it is planned around the company, the workflow, and the people using the space. Modern workstations should compliment the brand, not just a standard cubicle formula.
What are the best office cubicles for a small business, mid-sized and large organizations?
The Lunar Lane small office cubicle system is ideal for areas with narrow rooms, needing many workstations. It has a shared space saving linear panel connecting two sided cubicles.

For mid sized businesses, the Lunar curved office desks and the Lunar Wrap Around Round Cubicles provide a lot of desk space and private almost like a private office.

Why Companies Choose Modern Office Cubicles
People notice when a workspace was chosen with them in mind. A curved workstation or a round cubicle tells your team they matter, and that is the reason behind most of these projects.
- Show employees they are valued. Everyone wants to work at a company that looks great, feels modern and has a bright future. Your office furniture says that every day.
- Move from private offices to open plan. Modern cubicles may be right for the floor plan, but the person giving up a door still feels the change. They need a workstation that still feels like an office, with enough enclosure to think, acoustics that keep conversations from carrying, and a footprint that feels like a step up. Even narrow spaces can enjoy a modern aesthetic with small office cubicles.
- Attract and keep top talent. The space is part of the offer. A candidate touring your floor sees a company that invests in its people.
- Company image. New leadership, a board visit, a client tour. Your floor shows how the company runs before anyone opens a deck, and modern cubicles show a company that is moving forward.
- Ergonomics built in. Every layout respects natural reach zones and follows OSHA’s computer workstation guidance, so your team works comfortably all day.
Types of Modern Office Cubicles
The right workstation depends on your space, your workflow and how much privacy your team needs. After 25 years of specifying these systems, here is how we break them down. Every system can be customized in finish, panel height, worksurface, footprint and layout.
- Rounded, curved and curvilinear. Softer sightlines, easy reach and a floor that flows. This is our specialty and most of what we install.
- Angular and geometric. Visual variety with strong space efficiency. A great fit for floor plans with columns or odd angles.
- Acoustic high-panel. Sound-absorbing panels for HR, legal, patient-facing staff and deep focus work. Teams that want semi-private space often choose 60″ panels.
- Modular and reconfigurable. Layouts that change as your teams do. Several of our 10 to 15 year client relationships started with a modular system we have reconfigured through multiple moves.

- Finish. Laminates, fabrics, glass and edge profiles matched to your brand standards.
- Panel height. Mixed heights that protect focus and keep sightlines open where you want them.
- Worksurface. Curved, angled or asymmetrical, designed around how your team works.
- Footprint. Planned around your building’s columns, HVAC, lighting grid and exit paths.
- Ergonomics. Sit-stand desks, monitor arms and accessories fitted to your team’s tasks.
- Power and data. Cable management and power placement planned for your technology.
Panel Height Strategy for Modern Office Workstations
Panel height shapes how a workstation feels to sit in, and it is one of the most important choices on a floor plan. Most offices do well with a mix: low panels in collaborative zones and taller panels around focus work.
| Panel Height | Privacy Level | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 49″ | Open sightlines, casual visibility | Collaborative teams, open-plan hot desking |
| 60″ | Seated privacy, standing visibility | Everyday individual workstations, mixed-use teams |
| 67″ to 84″ | Full seated and standing privacy | HR, legal, patient-facing staff, focus work, sit-stand |
Choosing Between Modern Cubicles and Traditional
Square cubicle systems still have a place, and we provide those too. The right choice depends on your space, your budget and your team.
Rounded, angled, hex or curved works well when the floor plan is open and benefits from softer sightlines, the company wants a distinctive look, the team values collaboration flow over density, or the brand is tied to a design-forward space.
Square works well when the budget or timeline calls for standard components that ship faster, the space needs high-density seating, or the lowest price per workstation is the priority.
