Abstract: The working environment affects people's moods. Good office furniture naturally plays a very important role. According to a survey conducted by the American Cancer Society for nearly 125,000 people, the life expectancy of people who work more than 6 hours a day is shorter than those who sit less than 3 hours a day.
The working environment affects people's moods, and good office furniture naturally plays a very important role. According to a survey conducted by the American Cancer Society for nearly 125,000 people, the life expectancy of people who work more than 6 hours a day is 37% shorter than those who sit less than 3 hours a day. Therefore, how to make office furniture have a novel appearance, while also having the function of intelligent adjustment, combining art and technology, is now a problem for many office furniture designers to think about.
Trend 1: Stylized
Have you ever thought of the most overlooked office furniture around you, but you can also change the style of traditional office furniture by changing the lines and colors, full of personality and artistic atmosphere?
Bright orange, green, bright yellow, bright purple and other bright colors, can be seen everywhere in the leisure area of the office environment, full of passion and fashion. The stylized theme design is a direct pursuit of civilian furniture. This year, the reporter also found that many office furniture incorporates Chinese elements such as the pattern, the wishful pattern and the octagonal pavilion into the modern design, which is more in line with the modern people's life and aesthetic needs. For example, Rongye’s newly launched “Rhyme” series from the executive desk, conference table to sofa and coffee table adopts a “bamboo nanmu” which is not deformed, recyclable and more environmentally friendly, and creates a simple wooden grid line. A looming office mood. The other "melting" series contrasts the Chinese-style window plaque with the simple-looking solid wood, which is rich in Chinese style. And Bailey Wenyi designed the executive desk to be a calm black and red color, and the square file cabinet became a "seal", which is tough and elegant; and an aircraft plane launched by an Italian designer. Wing's Wing series boldly adopts an arc-shaped, elliptical design, and there is no dullness of straight-line furniture. This kind of stylized office furniture is quietly changing the stereotype and rigorous impression of the office space, trying to give the professionals more freedom and inspiration.
Trend 2: Intelligent
In recent years, intelligence has created a brainstorming on the design idea: a drawer that can be automatically locked with a single click, a small touch screen that electronically controls the office, and a space scene light. The built-in memory remote control and the touch-sensitive pop-up cabinet... all make modern office life easier, more efficient and more user-friendly.
“The height of the workbench can be adjusted freely, and the remote control commands slowly rise and fall, and the intelligent environment control and remote video conference can be realized for the conference room.” The I-WORK supervisor table can realize the health of “sitting station” through the touch control system. Operating mode. In the United States, some well-known companies have begun to allow employees to use tables that can adjust the level of high and low levels. It is said that in addition to health, it can also improve work efficiency. Lianyou has introduced a new type of office chair. Its automatic elastic lumbar support system can automatically adjust the angle according to the needs of the individual body, so that the user's waist and back can get the most comfortable support. The electric pen support frame allows the user to place the laptop on the support frame and to work freely while lying down. At the scene, the reporter found that this kind of intelligent design is favored by the mainstream of the post-80s and post-90s. For example, the “Q-touch” series, the humanized touch operation and the video function that can be raised and lowered suddenly attracted the attention of many young people. .
Trend 3: Modularity
Design office furniture like Rubik's cube, you can transform a variety of different combinations or shapes to achieve local application. In this exhibition, the reporter saw a lot of office furniture brands, through the product's generalization and modular design, to meet the consumer's individual needs for color matching, shape changes, and achieve humanized office in standardization.
For example, a set of "Voda Workstation System", with straight, trapezoidal, L-shaped three panels, with square steel foot, single board foot, computer main cabinet and counter file cabinet, common file cabinet five functional modules Elements that enable a diverse mix of functions to meet at least 150 office needs. Especially in the leisure area of the office, the fresh and beautiful cloth sofa can be combined as a building block. The long-formed dragon, square matrix or circular brackets make the communication form stand out. According to the R&D staff of Rongye Furniture, the universal design of this product allows the furniture parts of different sizes to be replaced with each other, which not only reduces the cost, but also enhances the flexibility and variability of the space combination, so that the scale can be customized. The reporter also found on the scene that many of these designs are not limited to a single product. More and more companies are beginning to focus on the creation of the overall office space, integrating carpets, IT equipment, lighting systems, and green potted plants. This expression is integrated with science, technology, humanities, art and other cross-border concepts. Traditionally, a closed office space allows employees to concentrate on their work, and an open and flexible office environment can bring significant benefits such as creativity, knowledge, teamwork and mutual assistance. Both.
Trend 4: Low carbonization
Low carbonization has always been a topic of concern. The new product “Kopf”, which is the new product of the new century, uses innovative TPU materials to break through the limitations of traditional plastics and poor ductility. The greatly curved backrest reflects the avant-garde spirit of dynamic office; the most unique is the chair base activity. Flexible, easy to operate, and locked to the ground. The blue sky furniture that takes the comfort and fashion route is very eye-catching. The base of the executive desk is made of apple wood, and the surface skin is made of Japanese protein skin. The main skin of this protein skin. The raw material is the egg shell, the texture and softness are very similar to the leather, and the price is not far from the leather. It breaks the dilemma of environmentally friendly furniture that makes buyers fearful because of the high price. There is also a kind of solid wood in the environmental protection material. For the first time, Yutai holds the banner of “log office furniture” in the industry to distinguish it from the so-called “solid wood office furniture” with veneer on the market. It is reported that this kind of office furniture made of natural logs has to undergo more than ten deep processing techniques such as anti-corrosion and drying. Due to the large amount of inlaid structure, the release of toxic and harmful gases such as formaldehyde is reduced by at least 2/3 than that of sheet furniture. However, the price is also several times more expensive.
Ursula Geismann, General Manager of the German Federation of Woodworking Machinery and Furniture, introduced four new synthetic materials for waste recycling, such as rice machine composites made from rice husks, coarse salt and mineral oil, and made from wood fiber, wood flour and plastic. WPC wood-plastic composite materials, etc. According to the reporter, the reason why such new synthetic materials are popular is on the one hand for the sustainable development of the environment, and on the other hand, the price of traditional wood is rising.
