Ergonomics
Ergonomics is primarily a science that studies the psychophysiological capacities, limits and peculiarities of human beings in the work process and occupations, and uses theory, laws, data and design methods to ensure optimal working conditions that increase productivity while preserving human health. The main task of ergonomics is to match the work and the environment to the needs of the individual and to the individual’s personal comfort, while minimising the additional stimuli created by the environment or the activity. Simply put, it’s all about Convenience.
In this 21st century. When the work environment is no longer a specific location, a place as it used to be, and when there are no longer clear boundaries, the separation between work spaces, home, public spaces in the normal rhythm of life is increasingly determined by Social Ergonomics, both in the work environment and at home. A socially ergonomic space is not just about the right arrangement and selection of functional areas, furniture or tools. Social ergonomics involves creating a comfortable, stable and functional atmosphere at work and at home by removing acoustics, lighting, non-functional furniture and space planning problems from the space . Implementing these 4 core aspects of ergonomics in the work environment helps people to accept stressful work situations more easily, reduce emotional tension, feel satisfied with their work, feel comfortable and interact more with each other, contribute to the organisational culture, and get involved not only in work processes but also in general leisure time. To feel comfort and harmony in your home environment.
Space
Ergonomics in space goes beyond aesthetic beauty, but looks for ways to create a space that is as efficient, practical and comfortable as possible through the following key points:
- Precise adaptation of a space to a specific use or by subdividing it into smaller spaces to find the best practical use. Rational furniture layout.
- Non-standard furniture in a space is designed to be adapted to the specific working purpose of the space, taking into account the nature of the activities of the people working there. In residential spaces, custom furniture is designed to fit the dimensions of the dwelling, and to fit in with the other objects in the space. Tailored to specific personal needs or physical data.
- The lighting in different rooms or areas must be appropriate to the function of the space, and adapted to specific activities to preserve physical and mental health.
- The choice of colour combinations in the interior takes into account the whole range of desires and needs, but above all without sacrificing emotional comfort.
Furniture
Ergonomic furniture in the work environment must be appropriate to the individual’s physical needs and to the work activities performed. Making the workplace as healthy as possible, and as functional and creative as possible, to help maintain productivity and comfort. Residential furniture must be tailored to meet the physical and personal needs of individuals. Furniture must interact with the space, not overwhelm it, and be functional and rational in its layout. Also to create aesthetic comfort.
Light and acoustics
Lighting is adapted to the purpose of the space, taking into account the parameters required by hygiene standards, combining natural and artificial light. Additionally creating a “warm” – “cold” colour spectrum according to the needs of the interior or space.
Acoustics is integrated into furniture, mobile stand-alone furniture solutions using specialised tools to suppress noise from inside and outside.
