The Awkward Waiting Room

In this first episode of Rooms for Thought, we sit in an awkward waiting room and unpack why it feels so strangely tense. From plastic chairs in perfect rows to humming lights, bland art and the silent battle for personal space, we break down the tiny design choices that make time stretch forever. Along the way, we ask what a kinder, more human waiting room could look like – and how that thinking might change the way we design all kinds of spaces.
