Fresh Fit Out For Fastway

March 14, 2019

From the large open spaces to intimate executive offices, meeting rooms and breakout areas, Fastways new office exudes style and sophistication through a strong monochromatic palette. The strong contrast between fresh white interiors and black furniture seamlessly transitions from one room to the next for a consistent look and feel.

Welcoming visitors, our Jive reception counter is a grand feature in front of the slatted timber wall. Complimenting the space are Tex lounges and Drum coffee tables, creating a simple yet inviting entrance.

Mix bench seating and Cooper chairs pair with a Jive coffee table to divide the open plan areas forming a contemporary statement in each gathering space. Enhanced by the large natural light filled windows, hues of brown and grey add warmth and break the monochrome dynamic.

Our Benchwork workstations are used on the lower and upper level with Sonic task chairs, Globe pedestals, Screenwork screens and Logic monitor arms to cultivate working areas suitable to a vast range of needs. Breaking up the area is our Keywork table and Balance ottomans allowing different levels of function and collaboration.

Continuing on with the contrasting palette, the executive offices feature Keywork desks with Miro and Zorro chairs. Working symbiotically with the architectural details of the interiors, each office offers a warm and textured backdrop to the main open space.

Our Alex chairs and Dart tables were used in meeting rooms to establish more formal areas whilst maintaining a balance of simplicity and modernism through the dark oak finishes combined with natural light.

Finally moving into the lunch area, a fresh clean palette in contrast with the rest of the office has been established. Our Jive counter table and Zorro stools paired with the Halo counter table and Pac stools create a breakout area which emanates a calm and peaceful space for employees to take a break.

Different zones were created to establish a variety of functional workspaces including open plan work areas, meeting rooms, breakout rooms and informal meeting spaces. Fastways new office caters to every need of the modern employee.

Kogarah Library’s New Space Revealed

February 5, 2019

Crafting the perfect entry or waiting area is important as it is an opportunity to make a lasting first impression for visitors. Recently, Georges River Council undertook a project for Kogarah Library, where each space was fitted out in an eclectic and diverse style.

Upon entry to Kogarah library, you are greeted by a large, light filled open space before moving into the main area. In one section, our Zorro chairs upholstered in two shades of blue fabric are paired with the Halo table, creating simple yet effective working areas.

Continuing on with the contrasting blue theme, our Cali chairs group together to form pods of soft seating for a more relaxed or informal meeting area. Georges River Council created a workspace with an open-ended environment by adding our Keywork Counter Table with Zorro Stools for individual or focused work. Each section can be modified or rearranged for visitors to create their own space based on their needs or requirements.

Thoughtful in design, Kogarah Library addresses the nuances of different seating arrangements based on their location. Situated across from the service desks are our Sofi ottomans in a mixture of curved and square shapes to form a continuous line of seating. Upholstered in the same blues as the Zorro and Cali chairs paired with our Byte Side Table, a bold and energetic pattern is created in contrast with the green carpeting.

Special consideration for visitors and their range of needs within the library is evident in the variety of settings provided. By allowing freedom and flexibility within the space, one is able to utilise it to its best ability whilst maintaining a level of comfortability.

2019 Trend Forecast

January 23, 2019

When it comes to crafting the ultimate office, staying ahead of the trends ensures that your space is designed with longevity and functionality in mind. To help you make sense of what’s to come in the commercial space our research has highlighted the following:

Softer Design - Residential influence is becoming even stronger, furniture and offices are taking on a homely style. Commercial furniture is quickly responding to the trend with the emergence of soft lines, luxe fabrics and cozy colours.

Demand for Experience driven spaces - The demand for social spaces will extend throughout 2019. Facilities that encourage staff to have fun such as table tennis tables, coffee bars, exercise zones and courtyards are highly sought after.

Colours - Coral takes the win for Pantone colour of the year and we expect to see it more along with tones such as blush, khaki, navy, softer blues, yellow and emerald green. Natural and earthy colours will also ring through 2019 with greys, beiges, whites, burnt oranges and tans.

Standing Desks -  They’re here to stay, the industry recognises the importance of health and wellbeing, with the focus on ergonomics still remaining strong.

Advanced Task Chairs - They’re getting better and better, in terms of aesthetics and comfort. Chairs with supreme functionality such as automatic tension control, core equalisers and greater adjustment options will be at the forefront.

Working From Home Arrangements - Calling for employers to ensure that their staff have an adequate set up at home to be the most productive. Do they have the right chair?  Desk? Monitor arms? Technology?

Wire Up - Nowadays employees have higher expectations when it comes to technology so avoid frustrations and ensure that your office is equipped with all the right power accessories. Consider USB charging, laptop holders and more GPO’s.

Pods & Zones - Pods and working zones were rampant at the lastest Orgatec. We expect to see this trickle through with more emphasis on quiet rooms with soft furniture, furniture with acoustic materials and the high back lounge trend to stick around.

The De-cluttering movement - Everyone’s talking about Marie Kondo - the organisational guru, her movement is taking the world by storm. Capture the trend by encouraging staff to be organised, offer sufficient storage, filing systems and online cloud storage.

Plants  - From a small cactus on a desk to lush vertical gardens, integrating nature in the office will still be very much on trend in 2019. Studies have also shown that offices with plants are known to be more productive. Read more about office plants here.

5 Ways To Prepare For The Silly Season

December 11, 2018

As the end of the year draws near and you start to scratch your head about how quickly another year has passed, we’ve put together a bunch of ways to help you prepare yourself for the holidays and the new year:

1. Close Off Your 2018 Tasks: Now’s the time to drill down on your to do list, start on the bigger tasks first and so that you can slowly wind down to the smaller tasks in the final weeks of the year. There is no greater satisfaction that crossing things off your to do list and starting the new year with a fresh slate.

2. Organise Yourself:  Clean your desk,  remove clutter, sort through your computer files and desk drawers to set yourself up  for an organised 2019

3. Take Some Time Out To Unwind: With all the christmas commotion and rush to close tasks don’t forget to take some time out for yourself, book in your end of year holiday, practice relaxation techniques and look after your well being.

4. Set Some Goals: Reflect on the year and its successes and challenges and start planning for 2019, set new goals and strategies to get you excited for the year ahead

5. Create An Exercise Plan - With summer holidays just around the corner, now’s a good time to get your new year's resolution to be fit in motion. A healthy self is a productive self, look after your body and reap the benefits in and out of work,

If you’re looking at investing in office furniture, why not speak to us about how we can help you start 2019 with a fresh new office look and make it your best year ever!

How To Create The Perfect Ergonomic Set Up

December 3, 2018

With office workers spending more time at their desk than anywhere else in the workplace it is important that the design and arrangement is suited to the user and the work they perform. By providing the right equipment that is easily adjustable, you reduce the risk of ergonomic-related injury and promote employee health and wellbeing.

Here are a few tips on setting up your workstation correctly:

  • An office chair should be chosen based on the ability for a user to interact comfortably with their work environment. Sitting with your knees at a 90 degree angle with your feet flat on the floor or supported by footrest, leaving a gap of 2cm between the back of your knees and the chair and raising or lowering the back of the chair so it provides maximum lower back support ensures the best ergonomic seat is created.

  • Your desk should allow room for all necessary equipment to be used comfortably without the need to continuously bend and twist your body. Many workplaces are integrating height adjustable desks to allow more flexibility in sit/standing positions to promote productivity and assist in a healthy ergonomic environment.

  • Your keyboard should approximately be at elbow level with your mouse close to maintain a straight, neutral wrist posture. Position both so your arms rest comfortably at your sides or elevating your chair to meet this angle relieves pressure on your wrists and fingers.

  • Position the keyboard and mouse directly in front of you and the monitor. The top of the screen should be just below eye level and titled to minimise the glare. Adding monitor arms allows for more flexibility in movement to ensure the correct ergonomic position is established.
