How to Balance Work and Well-being

June 13, 2019

With a shift in the modern workplace and growth of technology, the increase in a more sedentary lifestyle has created movements to promote employee health and wellbeing. Working styles are constantly evolving to allow for a healthy balance between sitting, standing and walking. This includes the introduction of height adjustable desks and tables, like our Swish and Rize which are a perfect solution to encourage movement.

Height adjustable desks allow users to easily adjust their work surface from a sitting to a standing position with a single tool, giving the user complete control of how they work. In addition, our Rize range includes height-adjustable side tables and meeting tables allowing employees to mix up the way they collaborate and conduct meetings.

Three benefits of height adjustable desks include:

  • Improved Health - With the increased risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes from sitting all day, research has shown that switching to a sit-stand desk lowers blood sugar levels, lowers your risk of heart disease, improves metabolism and reduces back pain.

  • Improved Mood and Energy Levels - The popularity of sit-stand desks has had a positive impact on the employees overall well-being. By introducing desks like our Swish or Rize, users have shown to be less stressed and fatigued than those who remain seated all day.

  • Boosts Productivity - Being able to access a variety of postures throughout the day helps employees stay engaged with their work tasks. Standing has also been proven to stimulate circulation, sending more oxygen and nutrients to the brain, improving one's mental focus thus encouraging one to work more efficiently and increase performance.

Riverwood Library’s Colourful Space Revealed

October 30, 2018

Using an eclectic palette of colours and range of materials, Riverwood Library’s new space features layers of visual interest at every turn.

Throughout the libraries open layout, parts of the original structure are interjected with new furniture, lighting and mosaic glass panelling creating a fun, contemporary environment.

Cascading along the natural light filled windows, our Gogo and Sofi Ottomans paired with Halo Coffee Tables welcome you as you enter the library.

Using our Cooper, Cali and Clip S chairs, a theme of red and blue is incorporated into every room, transitioning from one space to the next effortlessly.

In the middle of the library, our Keywork Spine desk and Space chairs are used for visitors seeking help and looking for more information. Using a combination of Natural Oak and White finishes, a bold contrast is made with the geometric carpet design.

Our Keywork Tables paired with red Clip S chairs create an energetic burst of collaborative and training areas. Moving upstairs, the Clip S’ are combined with Flip tables for more intimate meeting rooms. The colour scheme is continued with the Keywork workstations and Trak Screen system, for a cohesive look and feel.

Designed by CK Design, Riverwood Library features eye-catching details and bold colours throughout for visual impact. Bringing in new and innovative ideas to the traditional space a modern aesthetic was achieved.
