Thinking about this we analyzed our own experience. Coming from Germany, with most people living in a green country side, where it is calm and the scent of nature like forest and grass is in the air, the most stress western people have is the LOUDNESS. Loudness in cities caused through heavy traffic, but also the non existing isolation in buildings, like sound blocking windows, walls and doors. Additionally there is almost no sound absorption and all around hard surfaces, which cause a lot of echos. You cannot understand clearly and everybody starts to talk louder. A severe stress, which often cause headache. In Germany the offices are usually with carpet and other sound absorbing surfaces, which cause a calm stressless atmosphere.
To create this feel good atmosphere in Haering VIP canteen, we used sound absorbing material on window side and opposite wall. The basically transparent material is printed with stimulating images in a half transparency manner.
Acoustic plant partitions and optionally a green wall add green nature feeling, which western people are used to.
4, 6, 8 or more? If the table and the group is too large, you cannot talk across the table and communication is limited to the people next to you.
6 or 8 is the best size. Elliptical shape is more space saving than round. People are closer together and can talk normal too each other without shouting.

Büros werden kuscheliger, glaubt man dem Eindruck der Orgatec, der Branchenmesse der Büromöbler.
Was ist eigentlich ein Büro? Schreibtische und Stühle gibt es nach wie vor. Aber das ist nur ein Teil eines Büros. Kuschelige Sessel und akustisch abgeschirmte Ruhe- und Besprechungskabinen scheinen unabdingbarer Bestandteil eines Büros geworden zu sein. Spiegelt dies die Realität in heutigen Büros? Entspricht dies der neuen vom Management gewünschten Arbeitsweise? Wie ist das bei Ihnen im Büro? .. Antworten und Kommentare sind herzlich willkommen :)

Everyone has heard of ergonomics - after all, the word is widely used in advertising. But to think of ergonomics simply as a way of designing more comfortable goods misses the point - there is much more to ergonomics. The word ergonomics is perhaps a little intimidating, but behind it lies a very simple idea.
The industrial science, Ergonomics, deals with the stresses and needs of working people. By recognizing and analyzing them the work environment can be better adjusted to the employees. The main task of ergonomics is avoiding incorrect operations in the security-relevant areas like airplanes, cars and power plants, by adjusting the material for the work and the work environment to the person in an optimal way. The preserving of the employee’s health is a logical consequence.
Security and Privacy are preconditions for creativity and true communication and social intelligence. Here we differentiate: Security through backing = back coverage, Security through protection = shield in front, Security through command = overview of space, Personal territory = privacy = intimate space. In practice, we can observe, if you have no security and no defined private sphere in your workplace, you then unconsciously create alternative private areas in your workplace unconsciously. Like distracting your colleagues - avoiding team work.
Louis Jordan, Business Administration student at Donghua University, Shanghai, China: This essay will explain why ergonomic office solutions should be considered by companies, who want to improve office performance and save cost, in order to be more competitive. Office work is very important for any kind of business, even manufacturing companies rely on the performance of their offices to a degree of 60 to 80%. However, to run an office is also very expensive and companies tend to economize much on offices, which could lead to undesired outcomes. The science of ergonomics tries to find out all the aspects that improve system performance and human wellbeing. Ergonomic office solutions’ make a company ready for the future, with healthy, creative and happy core staff, capable of giving best performance and inspired to bring the company to the top.
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.
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.
Höchstabsorbierende flexible vitAcoustic Schallabsorber als Jalousie für Rolladenschränke verwandeln Schranke kostengünstig in hochwirksame Breitbandabsorber. Dem Prinzip der Microperforation folgend entwickeln die textilen vitAcoustic Platten kombiniert mit einem Hohlraum (Schrankinnenraum) eine nahezu lineare Breitbandabsorption, insbesondere in sprach relevanten Bereichen. Dabei sind die, in bis zu 50 Farben erhältlichen vitAcoustic Rolladen i.d.R. kostengünstiger als vergleichbare PVC Rolläden.
Nachhaltige Qualität und Zuverlässigkeit für die Vorstandsebene
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.
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.
