90 per cent of creative ideas don’t start at a desk - but in motion!
Give inspiration a helping hand
Studies show that around 90 per cent of all creative ideas don’t come about during concentrated sitting at a desk, but in motion – whether when walking, in breaks or during conversations with others. Nevertheless, many people spend the majority of their working or school day sitting down. This static way of working can not only harm health, but also put the brakes on creativity and productivity.
Furniture plays a key role here: It enables flexibility, supports health posture changes and creates space for inspiration sharing ideas.
Standing-sitting workstations for more flexibility
Sitting down for a long time fatigues the body and slows down the mind. Our height-adjustable desks allow you to switch between sitting and standing, encourage good posture and increase concentration. People who change their position regularly not only remain more physically active, but also more flexible mentally.
Lounge and creative areas for new ideas
Innovation often starts away from the classic workplace. Comfortable lounge furniture and flexible seating landscapes create inspirational places for informal meetings, brainstorming sessions or just a brief creative pause. Thoughts can flow freely and new ideas emerge here.
Modular and mobile furniture for agile working
Modern working methods require flexible room solutions. Rooms can quickly be adapted to various needs with mobile whiteboards, modular tables and seating on castors – for spontaneous meetings, interactive workshops or concentrated individual work.
More movement for more ideas because 90 per cent of creative ideas aren’t waiting on your desk!
