According to the dictionary, the word “designerâ€? means “a person who specializes in designingâ€?. Today, designers not only do their design jobs, but they also set styles and trends so that people can follow. With accumulated experiences and continuous study, their works have become fashion icon and lifestyle gadget. So, designers are not someone who just work on designing but also a trend setter nowadays. This issue of 8HOURS takes you to the insight roles of designers, how they rule and lead society -- just like Stefan Sagmeister, graphic designer who created a remarkable chair that looks like a big, thick pad in In Focus column. Besides, a creator behind the success of Dusit International, Neera Ratchaiyaboon, has revealed secrets of each hotel’s different design identity under Dusit’s umbrella in Possibility. We also bring you to the new Bangchak’s ofďŹ ce with a modern look designed by Thailand’s leading architecture and interior design ďŹ rm called Space Matrix in the column My Space+My Design. Not all...You can ďŹ nd a lot more about what’s going on around the design world in this 8HOURS volume 12 in your hand. We all at ROCKWORTH hope this magazine will help support Thailand’s design industry to reach the international level in the future. Lastly, we wish you enjoy reading 8HOURS -- just like we enjoy writing it. See you next issue!

monitor. The preferred distance is 45-75 cm or about arm's length away when you're sitting back in your chair. The ideal viewing height is to have your eyes level with an imaginary line across the screen, about 6-7 cm. below the top of the monitor. Keyboard Position the center of the keyboard directly in front of you to avoid hurting hands, wrists, and forearms. When you type, make sure to keep your wrists in a neutral position and relaxed. Also adjust your chair and rest your feet at on the oor. Keep the keyboard’s height of as the same level your elbows. That way, your wrists are in a comfort zone and ready to begin a workday. Other Accessories Be sure to keep stationary and note pads within reach. Place frequently-used items closer and available all the time. Don’t forget to set yourself as a center of the workstation. Then, you’ll be able to utilize items properly without changing position or straining to grab the materials. Have a nice day at work everyone!
