The history of the open angle sitting is derived from CHINESE TRADITION:
.. “In Buddhist tradition a bench or a pillow is often used to create a kneeling-like position that can be maintained for extended periods of Zen meditation discipline. The weight of the torso is lifted off the ankles and the forward tilting seat opens up the angle between trunk and thighs, putting the back into its natural S-shaped alignment." ... Three Norwegian designers Oddvin Rykken, Peter Opsvik and Prof. Svein Gusrud developed chairs based on this principle. This way of sitting became known in countries all over the world. One chair in particular sold in high volumes in Europe, USA and Japan; the Balans Variable, designed by Opsvik. See also HAG capisco chair, which is developed for dynamic office use.

A good posture keeps the skeletal structure balanced and aligned; we manage the force of gravity running through the body by aligning the bones, rather than holding the muscles in a rigid pose.

Beside the healthy upright sitting position, there are much more advantages using saddle-like WEY-chairs. Used together with height adjustable desks, they significantly can increase collaboration and communication in an office. Foster teamwork and emotional qualities within a corporate culture. Additionally enhance the dynamics within an office, while people stand-up more easily and frequently.
This is achieved by lifting all office desk's heights to a higher level, which is closer to a stand-up position.

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.
Hervorragende Dämmeigenschaften sowohl diffusionsoffene Wärmedämmung und A-Klasse Schall Absorption sind hier zu einem Doppelnutzen kombiniert. Dazu kommt die optisch schöne und hochwertige dekorative Gestaltung mit 19 verschiedenen Farben und vielen eingravierten Texturen. Darüber hinaus kann auch eine individuelle Bedruckung besondere Akzente setzten.
Wahlweise mit Holzfaser Dämmplatten oder absolut emissionsfreien PET Dämmplatten im Verbund mit dekorativer vitAcoustic Fliesenplatte.
Die Fertigung erfolgt auf Maß, so dass vor Ort kein Zuschnitt notwendig ist und daher auch kein Dreck vor Ort entsteht. Damit ist auch eine schnelle Verlegung, bzw. Montage gewährleistet.
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.
5 years after the furnishing of Jungheinrichs new factory, Vital-Office is again the supplier for Jungheinrichs new HQ and SO. Green bamboo desks are chosen again. Rectangular desk tops with height adjustable bases are added new. And the ergonomic saddle like WEY-chair was choosen again, but in 3rd generation technique and design. Electric installation and plug-in possibilities from top of table and from below table top was a special concern. Acoustic partitions are especially made for height adjustable stand-up desks. The acoustic panel is lifted always by the highest table top. This ensures, that all sticky notes on the screens are always available to the users on both sides.
Fast alles ist möglich mit unseren VitAcoustic® cassettes. Geringes Gewicht, 1,9kg/m², Brandschutz B1 und leichte Montage zeichnen unser Material aus. Durch Excenterbefestigung ist eine Millimetergenaue Ausrichtung gewährleistet.
Testimonial: Das ist wirklich sehr gelungen, und der Kunde ist voll zufrieden. Sieht gut aus, Besten Dank für die tolle Arbeit. Die Montage verlief einfach, alles wurde in ca. 4 Std. montiert, inkl. den grossen Wandabsorber.
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.
An echo makes the use of the festival hall of the youth welfare Waldhaus / Waldhausschule in Malsch almost impossible. The echo, or the sound reflections were so high that one could understand nothing more.
How should one get together and make music here? It was impossible!
But there is some help coming: the EnBW #MacherBus not only financially supports Waldhaus Jugendhilfe with the acquisition of new sound-absorbing elements, but the EnBW makers also undertake the attachment of the elements. With the new room acoustics measure the children of the Waldhausschule can use the hall again in peace and quiet.
Vital-Office also supported this project, supplied the vitAcoustic Frames for optimum sound absorption and led the assembly.
