Hur ser framtidens arbetsplats ut – och vad kan vi lära av digitala nomader?

Remote work is no longer a trend – it is the new norm. But some have taken it a step further. Digital nomads work from mountain villages, beach cafés, or libraries in small towns. And while the rest of us adapt our daily lives to function both at home and in the office, they have made flexibility a lifestyle.

So what can we learn from their way of working? And what does the workplace of the future really look like when the boundaries between place, time, and function blur?

Mobile, but structured

Digital nomads need to be able to work from almost anywhere – but that doesn’t mean they work just any way. They create routines, use smart tools, and plan their days with great care. A stable internet connection, noise-cancelling headphones, and an ergonomic working method are often just as important as the beautiful view.

Being able to switch between sitting and standing work, regardless of environment, is a big advantage. That’s why many choose portable solutions like laptop stands and desk attachments that are easy to fold up and carry. This makes it possible to create an ergonomic home office anywhere.

Work environment beyond the office

The workplace of the future is not just about the location – it’s about the experience. How can you create focus, structure, and comfort wherever you are? It could be a shady spot under a tree, a hotel room, or a coworking space in a new city.

It’s about making work function in everyday life, whether it is mobile or stationary. Many of the needs digital nomads have are the same as those of hybrid workers at home in Sweden: simplicity, mobility, and a home office that combines ergonomics with flexibility.

What we can take with us

Whether you work from a desk at home or switch between different locations, there is much we can be inspired by:

• Respect your work environment – wherever you are
• Plan your day with clear boundaries
• Create a comfortable workspace that can be moved
• Prioritize movement and variation

The future workplace is less fixed, but no less important. It follows you – and deserves the same care as a traditional office.

At Freedesk, we develop solutions for exactly that. Functional, portable, and stylishly designed desk accessories that help you create a work environment that works – whether you work from home, a flex office, or are building your perfect home office.
