The time that people spend working in the office is a regular part of life that has impacts on people’s health. The office is a working environment with many physical and psychological demands, challenges, and stresses which have a long-term effect on the person working in an office. These demands, challenges, and stresses in offices can cause psychological problems and physical ailments.
A meticulous and holistic design of the working environment, however, can promote creativeness and significantly contribute to the wellbeing of body and mind. This design also promotes productivity and innovation.
The first Kohlbecker building was called „The Human Factory“. Because Karl Kohlbecker wanted to ensure that a good quality of life does not end at the factory gates. That‘s a kind thought. And an entrepreneurial one: because when people feel comfortable, everything runs better. Quality increases, processes become faster, the work succeeds.
No compromises have been made in the equipment of each individual desk workstation. All components are individually adaptable to humans. Due to the special geometry of the desk, very advantageous workplace groupings result. The offset of the tables to each other is very pleasant. Direct counterparts are avoided. Instead, harmoniously spacious rooms are created between the desks.
Vital-Office sees office design as inspiration and interaction on all levels. From the basics of ease of use (ergonomics) to stimulation of social interaction, collaboration and communication. Focused on improvements in office performance we help our clients envision a succesful future and facilitate a progressing competitivness within his offices. Leverage stimulating design powers to generate "feel good" office environments that foster real transformation into team working powers.
In this article we present ideas for a new post-Covid office concept. The starting point is that in the future it is likely that 30-50% will work from home in the home office. This means that the workplaces in the office are only partially occupied, which reduces the attractiveness of the office in the company and can lead to a drop in performance. The aim is therefore to increase the attractiveness of the offices in the company with low occupancy and to create alternative collaborative areas that at the same time offer work opportunities for temporary overcrowding in the office. In contrast to the well-known meeting islands and relaxation zones, we would like to favor active ergonomics in the new "3rd places" with this concept.
Active ergonomics is e.g. known from HAG Capisco and HAG moving sitting. Articles about sitting high and sitting in an open position are also available here: https://www.vital-office.de/burostuhle
This was implemented in the form of so-called ponies. Mobile upholstered stool in 2 heights and 2 different lengths. This makes it possible to design flexible and changeable seating landscapes. The imagination knows no limits.
With regard to video presentations, telephone calls and absolute silence, it is necessary to use completely shielded room units (boxes), especially in smaller offices. A purely sound-absorbing acoustic measure in the room is not enough to bring the necessary quiet into partially open cabins. Sound absorption increases speech intelligibility, which in turn minimizes concentration. In this planning concept, therefore, soundproofed rooms were planned in room boxes. To increase the attractiveness of the 3rd places collaboration, 2 boxes were also planned.
The customer intends to furnish a new office building with new equipment. A new concept is to be developed that is suitable for optimally designing office operations under the new conditions after Covid19.
Vital-Office geht mit seinem Ergonomie-Konzept einen ganz eigenen Weg. Inspiriert von der Kraft der Natur versteht Vital Office den "Lebensraum Arbeitsplatz" unter ganzheitlichen Aspekten. Deshalb stehen bei Vital-Office nicht allein die Büromöbel im Mittelpunkt, sondern die Kombination aus Flexibilität, Flächeneffizienz, Ergonomie und Wertigkeit.
Das Ergebnis: Ein Arbeitsumfeld, in dem der Mensch im Mittelpunkt steht, welches bei ihm Wohlbefinden erzeugt und so die Kreativität und den Spaß an der Arbeit fördert. Und ganz nebenbei wird die Leistungsfähigkeit des gesamten Unternehmens gesteigert.
Eine gut gelungene Planung von Büromöbelkonzepten ist das A und O! Sie respektiert in erster Linie die Wünsche und Anforderungen unserer Kunden und verknüpft des Weiteren gesetzlich vorgeschriebene Richtlinien mit Aspekten von zum Beispiel Ergonomie, Flächeneffizienz und vor allem der Wertigkeit, gegenüber dem Menschen, für die wir in diesem Fall Verantwortung tragen.
Ohne diese wichtige Vorarbeit verliert leider selbst das schönste Möbelprodukt an Wert. Das weiß das langjährig erfahrene und kompetente Vital-Office Planungsteam mit Feng Shui Knowhow. Das Möbelprodukt konnte sich somit aus dieser Planungserfahrung heraus entwickeln und nicht etwa umgekehrt.
Vital-Office Design Produkte z.B. Büromöbel, Bürostühle und Akustik Absorber, sind aus der Entwicklung von Büroraumkonzepten hervorgegangen. Diese Design Möbel erfüllen Anforderungen, die in den Bürokonzepten definiert sind. Die Komplexität der menschlichen und sozialen Komponente stellt dabei höchste Anforderungen an unsere Designer.
Gutes Design ist langlebiges Design. Langjährige Erfahrung zahlt sich aus. Beispielsweise basieren einige der heutigen Vital-Office® Designklassiker auf konzeptioneller Designarbeit aus den 90er Jahren.
Schreibtische, Besprechungs- und Konferenztische werden als subtile funktionale Werkzeuge empfunden, wobei das Design die Funktion erfahrbar macht und somit das Produkt den Anwender im Sinne eines Werkzeuges unterstützt. Daraus resultiert der sehr hohe Designanspruch, der keineswegs modisches Trendwerk ist, sondern seine für das moderne Management nützlichen Funktionen in praktischer, ästhetischer, psychologisch assoziativer Weise erfüllt.
Original Ergonomie und Feng Shui optimierter Vital-Office Schreibtisch mit anthropometrisch runder Vital-Office Schreibtischplatte und natürlich gewachster MDF Naturkante. Ein wertiger Schreibtisch zum Wohlfühlen. Extrem platzsparend durch die flächeneffiziente Vital-Office Rundform. Passt harmonisch in Räume, wo ein gerader Schreibtisch in gleicher Größe nicht mehr passen würde. Beliebige Drehwinkel ermöglichen optimale Feng Shui Positionen mit Backing und Übersicht.
Größtmögliche Varianten- und Planungsvielfalt – die Antwort auf eine moderne, mobile, sich schnell verändernde Arbeitswelt. Das modulare Baukastensystem von Vital Office wurde genau hierfür konzipiert. Es kann mit seiner Variantenvielfalt und seinen untereinander optimal abgestimmten, frei zu kombinierenden Elementen diesen Veränderungen entsprechen.
Eine große Planungsvielfalt entsteht, selbst kleinste Räume lassen sich Dank der runden Tischform arbeitsstättengerecht UND mit Wohlfühlcharakter einrichten. Arbeitsgruppen können intern leicht umstrukturiert, zusätzliche Arbeitseinheiten einfach nachgerüstet werden. Auch größere Umbaumaßnahmen oder sogar ganze Umzüge in andere Räumlichkeiten sind unkompliziert zu bewältigen.
A remarkable acoustic optimized school project. Through professional consultation by Delhom acoustique the classrooms and corridors have large sound absorbing surfaces. Besides the ceiling, at least 1 wall was made with vitAcoustic wall absorbers.
Nicely integrated in the overall bamboo design by gmp · International GmbH (Architekten von Gerkan, Marg und Partner).
The target was, that the kids can calm down and concentrate better in a quite and sound optimized acoustic environment. Whoever will visit this school will hear the difference and will want to sit down for a while and relax.
This project has been a challenge for our teams, because of the very very short delivery time for 3 floors, 30x classrooms with corridor and classroom inbuilt furniture, receptions desks, library, kitchen furniture, water dispenser, acoustic flower pots in PAC and much more.
For craftsmen we offer sheets with V-cut. These sheets are flexible and can be used for curved applications, like round reception desk, column covers, tambour doors and much more. The sheets are customized according your requirements on design and curve radius.
In order for a room acoustic measure to be calculated and assessed realistically, well-founded acoustic physical basic knowledge and practical experience is appropriate. In particular, the initial values of reality must be determined accordingly. For sensitive areas, the measurement should be carried out professionally by an acoustic expert. Alternatively, at least a provisional measurement should be performed with a phone app repeatedly. The provisional measurement serves only as a guideline for the selection of the room materials and their absorption coefficients in the acoustic calculator. Basically, any calculation without professional measurements of the initial situation is hypothetical!
Example:
Low frequencies are absorbed differently than high frequencies. Glass surfaces (Windows) or a normal office cabinet made of chipboard in different thicknesses, when you hit the resonance of the deep tones, can act for the low frequencies absorbing. However, a correct calculation is hardly possible due to the lack of measured data of the objects. On the basis of a measurement, special depth absorbers (vibrating resonators) need to be specifically set.
The calculations are based on measured data from objects and materials. Some of these are listed in the DIN 18041 exemplary. Others are taken from various sources for their correctness and conformity with the actual existing object or material there is no guarantee.
