In the modern work environment, office equipment no longer has only a practical function, but also has a major impact on corporate identity and culture. Furniture designed to suit your company’s needs can increase employee comfort and productivity, while also helping to strengthen the relationship with your company’s values from the perspective of both employees and customers. Personalised design creates an environment that makes employees feel comfortable, while also appealing to customers and business partners. So let’s take a look at all the things that customised furniture manufacturing can influence.
Why is personalisation of office furniture so important?
Each company has different standards, different values, different atmosphere and related needs. While mass-produced office furniture meets the basic requirements, if you want to bring more efficiency and well-being to your workspace, go for personalised furniture.
Roughly one-third of employees admit to lumbar spine problems caused by long and unsuitable sitting. But working eight hours at a computer doesn’t just damage the back, it has a negative effect on people’s health in general. Therefore, ergonomically equipped offices with comfortable chairs and height-adjustable desks, ideally tailored to suit, can be a preventive measure.
However, acoustics are also an important element affecting comfort in the workplace. If the sound is carried through the open-space and nothing stops it, it is difficult to expect employees to concentrate sufficiently on their work. That’s where acoustic features come in to help reduce noise, improving concentration and creating a more pleasant environment. Especially in call centres and customer care departments, such noise attenuation is essential. But most workers welcome it in other places.
Bespoke furniture manufacturing can take all of the above needs into account, combining practicality with design features. In addition to a fresh look, modern and functional office furniture will also bring a better perception of the brand and strengthen its image. The resulting attractive and uniform environment leaves a positive impression and increases brand confidence among employees, customers and business partners alike.
Custom design reflects company culture and values
Bespoke furniture enables the linking of corporate values with the visual and functional design of workspaces, as can be seen in the example of Alupress Design’s long-term collaboration with architects and O2. Over several years, this has resulted in a uniform corporate design across all company structures – from offices to call centres and training centres to company stores.
The design and remodelling focuses not only on aesthetics, but also on improving the working environment and implementing new materials and technologies. At O2, it’s all about acoustic features that dampen noise and increase employee comfort in busy environments. Ergonomic furniture, such as height-adjustable desks and quality chairs, contribute to employee health and well-being and allow employees to adjust it to their own needs.
In addition, the newly established well being zones, which are equipped with comfortable lounge chairs and offer space to relax, also ensure well-being at work. Company kitchens with coffee and comfortable seating are popular places for informal gatherings and relaxation. These areas therefore improve the working atmosphere and also encourage informal communication between employees, thus strengthening team spirit. The result is an environment that has a positive impact on both customers and employees. Satisfied employees do a better job and customers feel comfortable in the modern space, which strengthens the relationship with the brand.
Bespoke furniture as an investment in the future of the company
Custom office furniture isn’t just a one-time expense on a whim. It is a long-term investment in the future of the company. A personalized environment brings long-term benefits in the form of more engaged employees and a deeper relationship that customers develop with the brand.
