• Robert Propst concluded from his studies that during the 20th Century the
office environment had changed substantially, particularly in relation to
the amount of information being processed. The amount of information
an employee had to analyze, organize, and maintain had increased
dramatically. Despite this, the basic layout of the corporate office had
remained largely unchanged, with employees sitting behind rows of
traditional desks in a large open room, devoid of privacy. Propst's studies
suggested that an open environment actually reduced communication
between employees, and impeded personal initiative. On this, Propst
commented "One of the regrettable conditions of present day offices is
the tendency to provide a formula kind of sameness for everyone.“
Hence, originated the concept of X in office environment. In 1960 Herman
Miller created the Herman Miller Research Corporation under the
direction of Robert Propst, and the supervision of George Nelson and first
modern X was conceptualized as action office II. Give me X.
