As many as 80% of employees claim that a company’s strategy for employee well-being will be a factor in determining whether they will join and stay at a particular organisation for the next 10 years.* The type of office equipment and the method of office arrangement have a huge influence on employees’ work comfort: the temperature and air quality of an interior, good acoustic properties, and lighting that varies in intensity depending on the time of day. How can you take care of all these aspects to reduce employee turnover?

Ergonomic solutions

Office chairs are being equipped with more and more advanced mechanisms that allow the user to lean backwards on the backrest or ensure micro movements of the user’s pelvis, hips, torso, shoulders and neck. The user’s spine is supported solidly at every moment, even when the user changes their body position. The so-called dynamic support allows the user to release their tensed muscles and minimise the risk of injury. Moreover, the chairs are designed so that they can match the natural curves of the human body and reduce the unnecessary pressures, e.g. below the user’s knees.

Xilium

Xilium is more than just an office chair. It is the partner of your success and a safe investment because of its functionality and durability. Xilium is also a work tool you can use to raise the comfort of your employees fast and simple. Because a non-ergonomic chair is among the five most often indicated drawbacks of modern offices.

Navigo

A functional and properly adjusted chair is the basis of office ergonomics. Navigo is an ideal solution for modern office spaces.

4ME

Ergonomics and comfort – obviously they were inspirations for Martin Ballendat while desiging the 4ME line. The armchair is a perfect example of how top-grade design can be combined with functionality.

Sail

Transparency, lightness and pure elegance. These 3 catchwords describe the new Sail product family in its most important characteristics. In addition to diverse functionality, the freedom of movement and comfort play a significant role with Sail. Both are particularly facilitated through the slender and flexible design of the backrest.

eUP

Our bodies have not been designed to sit all day, this is why it is very important that we change our position while at work.
Meet eUP desks and find a healthier way to spend your day in the office.

XIO 2.0

A perfect world could not exist without responses tailored to your requirements. Body and mind are one. When you relax and your mind is at rest, your thoughts usually become clear and new ideas keep flowing into your head. This is exactly what XIO 2.0 offers: intelligent solutions, perfectly corresponding to the employees’ needs.

Play&Work

Desks with height adjustment – both single desks and workbench workstations – are elements of the Red Dot award-winning Play&Work system, designed by WertelOberfell studio. The most characteristic features of the system are the unique round leg, metal and upholstered panels, and accessories that reference the Bauhaus style. The panels can be fitted with a full range of functional and colourful accessories, such as a pencil box, a binder shelf, magnetic boards or a headphones hanger.

eModel

Ergonomics is the general principle behind our office design, especially where a PC is the main working tool. A desk with electrically controlled height adjustment, available as part of the system, allows table parameters to be quickly adjusted to the user’s height. Maintaining a correct body position contributes to improved work comfort, good health and general physical and mental state.

Work styles have changed a lot. It is important to us to make sure an office follows the latest trends, supports employees in performing various tasks, and provides them with a healthy and friendly work environment. Nowadays people carry out many tasks in a team. They often need quick consultations and come up with brilliant ideas during informal meetings. An office with long desk rows does not offer enough space for these activities. It is also worth providing employees with an interestingly arranged office space – equipped with sofas that have high walls where they can isolate themselves from undesired stimuli, places designed for teleconferences, rooms with pouffes for creative meetings, silent rooms, fun rooms, or spacious canteens where they can recharge their batteries and get to know their colleagues better. These solutions not only increase a team’s efficiency and engagement, but also allow employees to change their body position and take care of their spine.

The current technology allows us to use the right mechanisms that help us take care of users’ health. For instance, the S-MOVE mechanism enables the user to move their body smoothly and naturally in three different dimensions. Our patented GLIDE-TEC mechanism supports the user’s back in changing its shape – from straight to rounded – while the divided Duo-Back backrest follows the user’s back movements and provides support to the spine-surrounding muscles, without putting any pressure on the vertebrae and intervertebral discs. It is also important to mention that one office chair is often used by a few people, so a wide range of adjustments and intuitiveness are crucial. They allow users to adjust the chair to their body size and shape quickly and precisely.
