Today’s office is a model of exploration, development and research.  As proponents of healthy working environments we follow this field with great interest because no other realm has more at stake in materials, worker health and resulting productivity.  Info-metrics lead the way to real change.  We may think that a new type of lighting is better for our health, however when studies show decreased absenteeism resulting from a workstation lighting change, the people who write the pay-cheques take notice.  With a longstanding eco Design focus we visit trade shows, attend and present seminars and take factory field trips to manufacturing centers, all to stay abreast with this ever evolving field.  Canadian office furniture manufacturers like Global Group, founded with one good chair idea by Saul Feldberg from Toronto, T.O.R.’s David Mendell from Vancouver and industry pioneers like Mogen Smed, founder of both DIRTT and SMED in Calgary, have led important changes in materials and how people work.    Ask us about trends toward quality, sustainable, ergonomic healthy work stations of the future that move with you, available today.
