Design

(Not) just design

People are sensitive to beauty. They like going to art galleries and admiring the perfect dimensions of sculptures, the unique compositions of paintings and the play of light and shadows. Do we only feel the need to engage with art after work? Definitely not! We want to be surrounded by beautiful objects every day. This applies both to our home interior and work environment. So how can you arrange your office beautifully? What furniture and accessories should you choose to ensure your employees feel good and work efficiently? What colours should you choose?

Good design does not only mean a nice appearance. Above all, furniture and everyday objects should be functional. Designers are artists who express themselves through their projects; however, they should also recognise and respond to people’s needs. How can you properly define the project goals? What factors should you take into consideration? How can you design accessories that will help employees keep their workstations neat and tidy, and support them in realising professional tasks? When we’re trying to focus on an important issue, details are worth their weight in gold.

Beautiful and functional furniture is still not enough. Chairs, sofas and furniture systems must also be comfortable. Backaches and the continuous search for a comfortable position do not help employees reach the right level of concentration. Good design also takes the users’ health and well-being into consideration. What furniture solutions should you choose when there is such a wide product range available on the market? How should you arrange communication, concentration and relaxation zones to make sure they fulfil their functions? How could you take care of your employees and provide them with the perfect working conditions?

Office arrangement that triggers flow

The optimal work environment, which facilitates the achievement of the flow state, should be a place where employees are able to fully concentrate on a given task, receive immediate feedback through effective communication and cooperate with others efficiently, to experience flow as a team. It should also create a positive atmosphere in order to minimise occupational stress, and increase employees’ identification with the tasks they perform.

Modularity

People’s work styles are changing. The number of employees at a company can change or its headquarters might move. All this gives rise to new challenges in the field of creating a modern work environment that responds to people’s real needs. Can the arrangement of an office keep up with all these changes? How can an organisation have the possibility to change the office space flexibly? The answer is modularity, which is becoming a characteristic feature of office furniture.

Modularity, in my opinion, is a very user-friendly feature, since it gives even better possibilities to use the products when new, often unpredictable, needs arise. It improves the functionality of the product.

More and more companies are leading a nomadic life, which means they often move to new locations or rearrange the existing space in order to meet new requirements. That’s why office furniture should be configurable.

Hilary Birkbeck
Designer of Tepee

Despite the fact that people spend on average 40 hours a week at work, the majority of offices have a severe style with subdued colours, sharp edges and artificial materials. Because this kind of decor has a huge influence on our well-being, the home office trend has become very popular recently. According to this trend, we should furnish our offices with home-like accessories, such as wooden furniture, floor lamps, curtains, wallpaper or paintings.

There is an artificial border between office and home products. We believe that some of them can successfully be applied to both spaces and should be adjusted to the user, not to the interior. Moreover, the use of materials and finishes we often associate with home furniture gives the office a feeling of warmth and friendliness.

Famous German designer Lucius Burckhardt has said that good design is invisible (...). Good design is something hidden; it is simply a pleasure to use a product. If you struggle using a camera, an office chair, an office desk, then it’s not good design. It is very important that things work, they have to make your life easier, and this can be on different levels. It can be functional, it can be aesthetic or it can just please you. Design is always sensual.
