How Modern office is transforming with innovative furniture

-

Work spaces furnished with rows of desks and ‘traditional’ swivel chairs are now becoming a thing of the past. Conventional offices are now being considered mundane and uninspiring.

Innovative furniture is on the rise in offices, transforming the way we work. Read on for some examples of contemporary furniture designs and how they are changing the modern office.

Hive Meeting Pods
Like conventional workstations, conference and board rooms are in also in decline. Understandably, rooms away from office distractions are sometimes required for your more formal and confidential business meetings, but for casual in-house discussions, they can seem a little unnecessary.

Hive Meeting Pods could be the solution. The multi functional beehive-shaped space can be used for informal meetings or as a quieter co-working space to do concentrated work. The secluded pod can be positioned anywhere in the office, allowing you to remove yourself from any distractions.

Hive Meeting Pods can help boost productivity and stoke your creative flare, due to its unorthodox and inspiring design. Aside from the functionality, it can also really complement your office thanks to its quirky and ultra-modern design.

Office Pavilions and Micro-Environment

Office Pavilions can be used to create pop-up meeting rooms and work spaces both indoors and outdoors. The structures can be left open or closed with movable walls that come in aluminium, wood, fabric and glass – enough breadth of choice for any office design. Plus, they’re capable of creating secluded rooms to optimize the acoustics in open-plan office spaces.

Modular work spaces can be combined in various compositions to create ‘micro-environments’ within large, open work spaces.

The system is designed in direct response to the “dynamicity” of today’s workplace. Featuring standalone frames finished with curtains, they can act as a visual and noise-reducing acoustic shield.

Stand Up Desks

One of the latest office trends is to work standing up. Office work is notorious for being predominantly desk based as employees sit and stare at a computer screen for hours on end.

Sustained periods of sitting down is not good for health and can increase the chance of developing diabetes, heart disease, chronic inflammation as well as resulting in a 20% drop in “good” cholesterol. Standing up while working can help to offset some of these health risks.

Nap Pods

For most people, sleeping on the job is generally frowned upon. However, evidence is mounting that an afternoon nap is a perfect solution to avoid that afternoon lull. Some of the biggest companies in the world – including Google and Mercedes Benz have brought in “nap pods” for their employees to utilize, and are seeing improved productivity in return.

Creating a pleasant meeting environment and having an office design that makes everyone feel comfortable has a lot to do with the way a meeting goes and how it is perceived. Some offices have decided to give a playful twist to this particular area and the designs they now feature are some of the most inspiring you can find. The informal quick meeting We know that a high table with high chairs encourages a short meeting. One can also leave out the chairs and just stand up, which quite clearly indicates that it is only going to be a quick chat. One can certainly drink a cup of coffee or iced water while chatting. Perhaps a bit loosely and informally about a coming project, relaxed, one leans slightly over the table or in a Activity-based Working style which may even be located in an open-plan room where others are working at the same time.

5 Office Lounge area ideas that work

If the concept of an office lounge area makes you shudder, thinking of all the work that could be piling up as employees socialize, relax! Lounge areas in the modern office are more about giving your employees the variety and choice in which to do their best work than any real lounging. Workstyle The school of thought for years was that employees needed a quiet, distraction free, and most often, separate workspace to work effectively. While it’s true that too much distraction and lack of privacy can be a barrier, employees work most effectively in a number of ways depending on their role, their individual preferences, and even their industry. In fact, that same Gensler study found that the best workplaces “provide a balanced environment that supports both collaboration and focus effectively.” What’s more, team building and collaboration are some of the highest ranked aspects in the office, ahead of individual values. In short, the 9 to 5 desk scenario can be stiflin...

Merging Tech and Design for Workplace Wellness

Long gone are the days when employees sit all day in inflexible workspaces, adjusting themselves - and their needs -  to the physical conditions of the workplace. The new model for the workplace no longer fits employees into a predesigned worksite but, using technology, redesigns the worksite to fit the needs of the employee. Just like our smartphones and smartwatches, our workplaces are being reinvented to be just as smart. Smart buildings leverage big data, the Internet of Things (IoT), and intelligent Building Management Systems (iBMS) to assess the physical conditions of the workplace and adjust them to meet employee needs. These tech systems facilitate and improve employee wellbeing and performance by modifying objects connected to the internet, such as light bulbs, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, office chairs and desks, coffee machines, and even whole office spaces. Smart technology collects data from these objects and generates automated and ...
