Initially led by startups, freelancers, and tech firms, the demand for coworking spaces has grown substantially sincere 2015 – from sterile fluorescent tube-lit and cubicle-filled offices to swanky spaces resembling a chic apartment or hotel lobby, the modern workplaces surely have come a long way as large businesses embrace the sharing economy.
