Abstract
The paper elaborates on how the matter of the interior décor of organizational spaces matters in discussions of sustainable futures of organizations. The argument is posed that organizational spaces are stages - or scenographies of performances - of material-discursive story configurations that either/or are affecting un/sustainable and in/human actions. Throughout the paper the argument is build that organizational spaces are affective sites of engagements (Strand 2012, 2014) that can either nurture and engage human relations - and as such acknowledge and provide the possibilities for true Humans as bodily, sentient, relational and responsible beings - or derive and deplete these human aspects from the lived, everyday story practices of the organization with a subsequent impact on the deterioration of the human subject as an agent involved in the sustainable becoming of the world. Something that calls for attention in organizing for the future.
