Network partners are independent architects, interior designers, designers, design and Feng Shui consultant, as well as retailers and other source of contacts for Vital Office services and Vital Office products. Network partners make their profile entries, and other project posts themselves. Vital Office provides this platform, so that the diversity of the Vital Office concept in cooperation with various professions is published.

The balance of Yin und Yang, the 5 elements and the principle of comprehensiveness are especially important to us.

As a result of the balance of Yin und Yang elements in the environment, the dynamics of life are maintained, both in the personal and in the business management segment. This is comparable with an engine which simply runs smoothly. A one-sided predominance of Yin or Yang is on the other hand like an engine with a more or less strong error of balance.

Since 1999 we have been working on the topic of Vital-Office and also on suitable office furniture. Our many years’ work was rewarded with the award ”Best Feng Shui Design 2000“. 

In addition to the forms, the question of the material in the meaning of Feng Shui occupied us a great deal. 

Consequently, we considered how we could transfer the value and energy of a solid wood table- top to normal payable desks. 

Nowadays, almost everyone is familiar with the concept of Feng Shui. Only almost everyone understands something different by it. Almost everyone has heard or learned something different.

What is behind it and how do we deal with it? Different alternatively-orientated healing models and an integral way of thinking come together under the Feng Shui concept. It is therefore difficult to talk about Feng Shui as long as everyone understands something different by it. The question is: “What is someone looking for, if he is interested in Feng Shui?” 

Feng Shui literally means Wind and Water. What is your perception?

Like a health-orientated therapeutic measure Feng Shui acts on the employees in a psychological way through the room design. The Feng Shui principle can therefore be defined as follows:

• “We design our environment and the environment affects us!”
• “It acts on our feelings, our ideas and our vitality. “Emotional - associative .. consciously and unconsciously.

The resulting room design is a static photograph of our self. This in turn reacts and conveys to our psyche, for example, familiar and supposed security.
The environment becomes a medium of self programming.
However, time is flowing as well as the changes in our society, in our thinking and the way in which we express ourselves.

Yin and Yang is the basis of Feng Shui teaching. The polarity of Yin to Yang is, for example, subdivided in the trigrams and hexagrams in finer quality stages. The meanings and attributions are described in the old Chinese I Ging (Book of Changes).

The Yin Yang symbol, however, basically represents  the dynamics of the eternal processes of change (birth - growth – maturity – blossom – seeds – death ...).

The constant flux (change), and the movement are best represented in the symbol.

Qi is the basic energy for all life. Effects of the vital energy Qi are, for example: vitality, capability, concentration, intuition, creativity, defence capacity of the immune system, disassociation capacity with respect to psychically weakening external factors, tolerance of stress and the state of mind.

A distinction is made between “Body-Qi”, the Qi concept of traditional Chinese medicine and the space and landscape Qi, which is directed by Feng Shui techniques:

At the start of the 20th century with the findings of the Theory of Relativity and Quantum Physics, Modern Physics did away with the fixed Newton conception of the world. Matter is no longer regarded as static and passive, but as a dynamic active “bundle of energy” which is in a state of constant flux. The traditional concepts of time and space, of isolated objects, and of cause and effect have lost their importance.

In modern Physics the universe is a dynamic indivisible whole which always necessarily also includes the observer.

With our design concepts, we combine Chinese culture and German ergonomics.

A good quality office is not expensive. Instead the budget is met and saved through concept based planning, where all interlinked factors in building and organization are considered ahead in a professional way. Individual and budget aspects are easily met by our modular furniture system, which is produced according our German requirements by local specialized Chinese production partners.

You are welcome to join the group of satisfied customers like e.g. Kärcher in Changshu, Jungheinrich in Qingpo, H.C. Starck in Gangzhou and Optima in Jiading.

Highly sorbent, flexible vitAcoustic sound absorbers as blinds for roller shutter cabinets cost-effectively transform barriers into highly effective broadband absorbers. Following the principle of microperforation, the textile vitAcoustic panels combined with a cavity (cabinet interior) develop a nearly linear broadband absorption, especially in language-relevant areas. The vitAcoustic roller shutters, which are available in up to 50 colors, are generally cheaper than comparable PVC shutters.

Your advantage:

1. pleasantly quiet room atmosphere with good speech intelligibility.
2. cheaper and more environmentally friendly alternative to PVC shutters with or without acoustic function
3. great color choice for more creative freedom
4. The material is E0, B1 and recyclable (PET)
