"Don't you agree that high design such as this in the workplace, particularly in a cubicle, can only elevate, enhance and improve?  I do have one suggestion. A larger rug. For that matter, what about wall-t0-wall carpet for this cubicle? It would add to the richness of the experience, help absorb unwanted noise from neighboring cubicle mates and generally enhance the work environment." - Christine Whittemore, Director of In-Store Innovation for Solutia's Wear-Dated carpet fiber.
