Workplace layouts are constantly changing, evolving into solutions that help employees adapt their workplaces to current needs. Ideally, the working environment provides the ability to easily increase the number of workplaces, variety in planning the workspace and the desired level of privacy.
Discover the new ROUND desk system, which has all the characteristics needed for a modern office. It is sure to become an indispensable helper for you in creating rational, comfortable workplaces adapted to various needs in open-plan offices.
Which type of workplace is most effective — open or closed?
Although open-plan offices make it possible to use space more efficiently and foster more active collaboration among employees, they often significantly increase stress levels and hinder the concentration so necessary for completing tasks. As a rule, a workplace in an enclosed room is perceived as more comfortable and provides the desired level of privacy. Unfortunately, at the same time it isolates team members, making communication and collaboration difficult. Although workplaces are traditionally divided into two categories — open and closed — office reality is such that there are also other kinds that flow into one another, creating the most varied workspaces. There is no single answer to the question of which workplace is best — open or closed. It depends on many circumstances (such as the nature of the work or the goals being pursued).
We believe that the novelty we present — the ROUND desk system — will allow companies to apply an effective model of workplace arrangement that will help create cosy, practical, comfortable workplaces providing different levels of privacy in large open-plan offices.
Expandability
Although open-plan offices often have a large area, they are designed to use space and resources as efficiently as possible. It is important for the workplace to be comfortable and of a suitable size, and combining several desks is no difficult matter. At the same time, it is necessary to plan in advance for workplace-division solutions, as well as solutions for connecting electrical wiring and other communications.
The ROUND desk system is easy to install. In addition, it can easily be expanded from a single desk to the desired combination. You will be able to arrange the office space rationally and place the desired number of workplaces in it, while maintaining the all-round ergonomics of the individual workplace.
Variety
The more different workplace layout schemes you can implement, the more efficiently you can use the space. The ROUND desk system will help you organise workplaces in the most varied ways. A few relevant examples:
- A cellular office layout — individual workplaces with personal storage space predominate, with one-sided desk combinations and appropriate workplace division using cabinets and partitions.
- An open-plan office — large desk combinations intended for teams are formed, partitions may be absent, and cabinets are the same height as the desks or have add-on units. In this case, storage spaces are designed for the team rather than for individual users.
- An “office within an office” — a semi-private space for small teams. Tall cabinets, partitions and additional side cabinets form cabinet-type mini-offices.
Adaptability
As a rule, offices are dominated by different kinds of activity that require appropriately adapted space. The ROUND desk system is extremely flexible. With it you will easily and simply plan office rooms suitable for the most varied scenarios — individual and team work, rest and informal meetings. The ROUND system includes carefully considered combinations of cabinets and shelves, as well as partitions that will help provide the desired level of privacy effortlessly. Workplaces can be either fully open (which fosters continuous collaboration and teamwork) or sufficiently isolated — cosy and allowing concentration.
The main thing is employees’ needs
To create an ideal working environment, it is important to respond to the needs of every employee, taking into account the specifics of the tasks performed. As a rule, an effectively functioning office harmoniously combines individual workplaces and workplaces for teamwork, open and closed spaces, spacious cabinets and shelves for storing belongings, a cosy environment, rational connection of communications and the ability to easily and simply increase the number of workplaces.
