A well-planned office is designed according to identified needs and working patterns, where the features, design and location of the interior design facilitate, invite and support different types of work tasks. Let yourself be inspired by reading about the most common activity spaces and how they can be designed flexibly and sustainably for well-being, creativity and efficiency.

Open workstation Individual work at one of several desks, personal or shared, in an open environment divided into zones with different levels of focus. Semi and low focus zones offer spaces for individual work and at the same time the opportunity to easily communicate with colleagues, share information and participate in informal conversations. High focus zones for individual work requiring high concentration are created using screens, storage as room dividers and textiles. Common rules and guidelines for the different zones should be drawn up.

task chair also supports the back and contributes to a good posture, reducing the risk of occupational injuries. What is good ergonomics? To create good ergonomics, you need to look at the total experience of a space, both physical and psychological. It is about movement, functions, tactile materials, acoustics, light, air and temperature, but also about the individual's experience of culture and community. When all these factors are in harmony, you achieve an inclusive whole - holistic ergonomics. With the right ergonomics in your interior design solution, you can influence behaviours in your environment, which in turn leads to employee well-being, creativity and efficiency.
Choose movement for well-being Look for a chair with functions that encourage movement. Try and feel what suits you best Your chair should be comfortable and easy to customise to your needs. Make sure that the controls are easily accessible and intuitive.
