The new way of working, what is that?

The new work is like this

Have you ever heard of the new way of working, but have no idea what it exactly entails and what you can do as a company to make it possible? Read all about this vision below and apply it yourself.

The new way of working, what is it actually?

The goal of the new way of working is to make everyone’s work more effective, efficient and enjoyable. Employees will have more freedom to choose how, where and when they work. This can be at the office, but also on the train or at home. The work is also result-oriented, instead of employees just sitting out their time. Freedom and flexibility are also important in the office. For example, there are no fixed workplaces and there are different rooms for different types of work.

How can you furnish your office according to the new way of working?

First of all, it is important that employees see the office as a kind of home base. A meeting place where they feel inspired and connected to each other. According to the new way of working, this can be achieved by organizing workplaces according to the type of task that is performed. For example, it is important to distinguish between communication work and concentration work. Brainstorming, relaxing, concentrating or meeting. These are all other tasks, which are best performed in places that are equipped for it. Places where things like light, color and design have been taken into account.

The benefits for employees

The new way of working has benefits for both employees and companies. Employees are given more freedom to decide for themselves where and when they work. This is great for anyone without a 9-to-5 mentality and people who like to focus on other important things in life besides work. Furthermore, the new design and working atmosphere will make the office feel like a place where inspiration and ideas can be shared. Employees therefore enjoy their work more and are more motivated and involved. This is of course reflected in productivity. And that’s good for everyone.

The benefits for companies

First of all, happy employees make for happy employers. Because when an employee feels that he is in the right place, this is reflected in the results. But there are even more benefits for companies that embrace the new way of working. Workplaces are set up more efficiently and effectively, as certain tasks that will be performed are taken into account. More attention will be paid to the working environment and empty spaces will be filled in. This can save square meters and therefore also costs.

ARE THE DESIGN OFFICE CHAIRS SUITABLE FOR YOUR PROJECT?

Leave a reply

Increasingly, furniture in general, and design office chairs in particular, are conceived as furniture that, far from being solely functional, also acquire a decorative status.

Maybe you are considering equipping your company with furniture of these characteristics. If so, then we recommend you continue reading the article, because we are going to propose various questions that will help you evaluate if these chairs, which sometimes come to represent a new form of art, can fit into your facilities.

Are these designer office chairs useful and practical?

If the chairs you have purchased are aesthetically attractive or modern but cannot be comfortable enough, it is useless. There is no justification for equipping your offices with this type of furniture, or at least the reason is not of sufficient weight.

Surely on more than one occasion it has happened to you that you have sat or tasted a piece of furniture that is very modern and avant-garde but not functional and even less comfortable. We must never forget that the first and last purpose of the chair is to be comfortable.

A user and guest can forget and forgive an aesthetic not very modern, but always remember an uncomfortable chair and this will influence the perception you have of the branding of your company.

Does the furniture fit with the aesthetics of your company?

Perhaps you will think that even the most avant-garde chair does not justify breaking with the classic or conservative aesthetics of your offices. Well here we must point out that more and more what is sought in the design of the new facilities is the differential. And that can be achieved by adding functional but modern chairs that slightly overflow the conservative line or add that touch of color or daring.

Does the furniture add or contribute something to the set?

It is very linked with the above. And it refers to the fact that the introduction of that element has to have a justified reason. The chair must provide something, whether it has to do with the aesthetics or the functionality of the furniture.

Do I feel identified with the chair that I just included in my project?

The visitor, client, user and the worker must connect with this piece of furniture. We cannot conceive this chair as an isolated element within the office; it must connect with your business philosophy.

If neither the workers nor the guests make use of this object or do not give it any merit, then surely you should rethink to remove it.

At this point, it is very likely that you are considering including a chair of these characteristics in your office, but you do not know which models you can choose. Well, it was time to put the theory into practice.

We are going to show you 3 examples that we believe respond well to these premises:

Panton chair

This incredible chair was designed by Verner Panton, back in 1967. Today is considered, although it is strange to read, as one of the great classics of modern chairs.

And it is that its shape in S, its dynamic design and its simple architecture make the impact and influence of this chair reaches the design of the current furniture.

Although it is simple and minimalist, Panton is the result of a professional and personal career on the part of its creator. With this model you will not be able to equip any space, since the office will have to respond to certain aesthetic and philosophical characteristics of the company.

Eames chair

The chair Eames Plastic Chair is made of plastic and was created by Charles & Ray Eames about the year 1950.

The seat and backrest make up a single polypropylene shell, which you can buy with armrests, while the 4-leg structure that serves as base can vary depending on the model: varnished maple or steel.

Almost with total security this model will sound you having previously seen equipping other spaces, since it is the most versatile example of the 3 that we mentioned in this post that can serve to decorate various spaces.

Wassily chair

It was the first tubular chair on the market. Created by Marcel Breuer, it began to be commercialized around the year 1927.

What we like most about this model is that, despite being a very old (but modern) chair, it still manages to be innovative and current. It is formal, elegant and modern, but without being too limited when it comes to equipping spaces.

We would use it to equip companies of very different profiles and in numerous spaces.

These 3 designer chairs are our favorite to use in equipment projects, but the truth and, as you surely know, is that there are many other options. Go ahead and tell us in the comments which are your favorite design office chairs to equip your company!

EXECUTIVE ARMCHAIR: CLASSIC DESIGN VS MODERN DESIGN

Leave a reply

The director’s chair is one of the most important elements when deciding the furniture that your office project will take. Actually, deciding on one or another type of management chair will depend on the design you choose in a general way for your office decoration project.

In fact, although there are almost as many models as options proposed by the manufacturers in the market we could make a distinction in two large groups: classic design director’s chair and modern design director’s chair. It is not better one or another option; everything will depend on the environment that you seek to recreate in your design project. The most classic environments are ideal for companies that aim to give a more serious and traditional image. The modern, for the newest and with orientation towards technology and new jobs.

It must be remembered that both classic and modern steering chairs have different finishes, shapes and functions that allow them to adapt to the different uses that could be given to them. Being clear about the type of design you are going to decide on should not make you renounce any of the qualities of functionality and environment appropriate to the work being done. However, surely if you are looking for inspiration, the information that will be most useful will be some concrete models of director’s chair that fit both categories. Here we propose some of the most prominent in the integral projects.

Classic director’s chair models

AN ICF CHAIR

It is a steering chair with classic shapes but with striking finishes for the chrome parts. It is ideal to combine in classic environments, but also in those spaces that claim to be neutral and not associated with any marked decorative style.

SILENT RUSH BY SEDUS

It is a very functional design that also allows having the feeling of being completely isolated from the rest of the world whenever it is required. Ideal to have the maximum concentration.

KADOS DE ACTIU

If you are one of those who believe that a decorative office project should always include a large director’s chair in terms of its dimensions and you are not passionate about the most modern designs, this is a good option for you.

Modern director’s chair models

ACTIU CRON

Although it is inspired by classic models, its straight lines and its elongated backrest make it a very stylized model that fits perfectly in the most modern environments.

CROSSLINE PRIME BY SEDUS

Curved lines almost always give the feeling of dynamism that a modern concept demands. This director’s chair uses them both in the backrest and in its supports.

ZEN XT PLUS BY INCLASS

Completely changing the design of the seat shape is Inclass’s proposal in the most modern office chair manufacturer model.

As you can see, some manufacturers opt to combine classic director’s chair models with modern director’s chair models in their catalogs. Choosing one and the other will depend to a large extent on the aesthetic taste of your client as well as the rest of the furniture that is in the office. The coordination of all the elements of the project is essential for an efficient and productive design.

ERGONOMIC OFFICE CHAIRS: HOW TO WORK MORE COMFORTABLE?

Leave a reply

The many hours spent in exhausting days pass bill to employees and managers if you do not have adequate ergonomic furniture.

However, if in your next project you have to choose one of these ergonomic office chairs, would you recognize the most important features to offer comfort to those who will use it? Today we are going to show you some ideas that you should consider and that will increase the comfort in the offices.

In addition to the elegance that characterizes this type of office chair that sets it apart from the rest (we all think of the typical black leather armchair), there are several elements that make it one that provides maximum comfort to the worker. Between them it is necessary to emphasize:

The possibility of seat regulation
They offer a full lumbar support
They have reposancas
Armrest

At the same time, there are manufacturers that have focused on the design of elements that seek to differentiate themselves from all others with products that revolutionize the concept of ergonomics. A good example is the armchairs that include Work Assistant. However, knowing the qualities of a good ergonomic office chair and choosing a manufacturer that researches to achieve the best results is not enough. The worker must bet on the change of position to achieve the best result. Then we also talk about Active Sitting.

Elements to consider for the comfort of an ergonomic chair

To work more comfortably with ergonomic office chairs you have to take into account some elements that should be incorporated in this type of furniture. Although not all manufacturers include them, nor would they be necessary for all professions, they all define the ergonomic furniture par excellence. Take note below of what are the aspects in which you must set when selecting the office chair that will guarantee the comfort of the user:

Seat regulation: Generally, most manufacturers of ergonomic office chairs offer this option in their products. However, seat regulation is not only important in height. If the worker has the possibility of regulating the depth and inclination of his seat, he is likely to feel much more comfortable, and at the same time be able to develop different activities that require different positions. Both things also encourage the change of position that as we have advanced in the previous paragraphs is essential to achieve maximum comfort in this type of chairs.
Lumbar support: the design of ergonomic office chairs should always provide the user with the necessary rest at the back. If this does not occur, or exists but does not conform to the position of the user, it could cause discomfort that could cause greater damage over time.
Reposanucas: the back of the head is fundamental for good postural health. The neck is one of the parts of the body that suffers most when you spend many hours sitting. This is why for an ergonomic chair can be considered the ideal to work must offer a good support to the neck and ensure that it will remain in a healthy position.
Adjustable arms: the adjustable arms are one of the keys to take into account when choosing an ergonomic office chair. In fact, each user has a certain height and a specific position in front of the table. Having this element allows you to adjust to all needs and maintains the upper body in a comfortable position that will not cause discomfort in the shoulders, neck or even fatigue in the arms and hands.

Ergonomic armchairs: Work Assistant and Active Sitting examples

In the first paragraphs we have referred to research carried out by ergonomic furniture manufacturers that have been the basis for creating models of chairs that fit the needs of workers and allow comfort in the workplace. Specifically, we have referred to two concepts used by the brand: Work Assistant and Active Sitting.

WORK ASSISTANT

The Work Assistant is actually a kind of platform that allows you to use the brand’s ergonomic office chairs with a laptop or tablet. In this way, the worker can adapt the chair to their needs at any time without having to make efforts in the position adopted when developing the activity.

ACTIVE SITTING

Regarding the other innovation for which bets as a manufacturer of ergonomic office chairs, the Active Sitting, we must mention that it is the product of a research carried out in collaboration with the University of Munich. Actually, the basis of the concept lies in the fact that humans are evolutionarily adapted for movement. The problem of postural health when sitting for a long time is that the chairs do not adapt to all those movements.

Office chairs that incorporate these proposals offer multiple adjustable elements that follow the user, that is, they adapt constantly to the changes that occur in their posture and that always seek to provide maximum comfort.

THE IMPORTANCE OF ERGONOMICS

The evolution of ergonomic furniture has been important in recent years. Each time new technologies are used, elements are developed that allow adapting to each work situation, and the best results are achieved by betting on analyzing the movement to which we still submit without getting up from the chair. However, for all these efforts to give the best results it is also important to apply postural health standards that the company must make known to its workers. With all this going on, it will be easy to have the best comfort in the office and, above all, to avoid injuries or discomfort that reduce productivity and even the workforce due to sick leave caused by problems in the back and neck.
