The Benefits Of Lounge Spaces in Offices

July 4, 2019

With the unprecedented mobility offered by laptops, phones and tablets, one's ability to work anywhere and everywhere has led to the introduction of unconventional spaces. This includes lounge settings which are dispersed around an office, allowing employees to take a break from their normal workstation and spend time in a more casual environment. Distinguished areas like this have become a necessity for harnessing creativity, productivity and innovative thinking.

Here are 3 tips on how to effectively introduce lounge settings to your office:

Comfort - Residential-style seating has become a popular shift in office aesthetics. Adding a comfortable lounge or soft chair encourages a relaxed atmosphere. Our Benj, Tex and Hush lounges feature a wool fabric upholstery and high density foam padding, offering a true palette of posture in the office.
Surfaces - Facilitating productivity requires surfaces to work on. Our Rize collection features a height adjustable side table and round meeting table which provides space for people to set down their devices or papers, while also allowing users to customise the area to suit their requirements. Our Byte and Dart tables are also a great solution for setting down coffee and taking notes.
Flexibility - Different groups have different needs which require the space to be easily rearranged to suit. Providing lightweight and mobile seating options like our Sofi, Gogo and Balance ottomans allows one to curate a space that will enhance its purpose.

As the modern office evolves, setting the stage for lounge areas encourages employees to come together to collaborate and share ideas in a fresh space. Contact us today to help plan your office lounge.

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.
