Working in functional and well-organized corporate spaces can positively impact the entire team’s productivity and job satisfaction, while also aligning with the brand’s identity.
When people feel that they belong in their workplace, they feel more balanced and are more likely to tap into their creativity.
Many design elements can contribute to a functional corporate space that fosters productivity, such as lighting, color, furniture, artwork, and the layout of the space itself.
With that in mind, TRIO has put together some tips on how to create a functional workspace that offers a relaxed and comfortable environment for everyone.
1. Organizing the layout of the work
When designing your workspace, it is essential to first consider the company’s characteristics, concept, and needs in order to develop a design for both indoor and outdoor areas.
Some companies require greater interaction among teams, while others need spaces such as meeting rooms for brainstorming or client meetings, for example.
In this way, you can choose a furniture design that will provide comfort and a sense of calm for both employees and visitors.
With a well-designed space that reflects the company’s culture and identity, all of its functional features will have a significant impact on the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of those who use it.
2. Comfort and ergonomics
Considering the health and well-being of the staff is one of the fundamental principles of architectural design, as poorly planned and inappropriate furniture can jeopardize employees’ health.
Therefore, invest in ergonomic furniture that benefits the entire team—such as chairs, armchairs, and desks that are adjusted to the employee’s height—all to ensure comfort and safeguard the health of your staff.
This is defined by NR-17, the standard that regulates the criteria for the suitability of workstations for seated or standing positions. Established by the Ministry of Labor, it stipulates that workstations must meet certain requirements, including appropriate desk or workbench height, desk spacing, surface types, and comfortable seating, among others.
In addition to promoting health, ergonomics also helps improve employee productivity.
3. Quality and practicality of the furniture
Another point to consider is the quality and practicality of the furniture. In environments with a high concentration and constant flow of people on a daily basis—whether customers, employees, partners, or visitors—it is essential to provide high-quality furniture.
Therefore, when designing corporate spaces, it is important to consider the flow of people within the environment and invest in lightweight, practical furniture that can be easily moved without making any noise, so as not to disrupt the workplace.
Therefore, it is essential that you choose well-known brands to ensure the quality and durability of your office furniture.
4. Brand visual identity
When designing an architectural project, one must always consider the brand’s identity, as it is what represents the company in the market. For this reason, the company’s values must be clearly defined in order to select furniture that reflects its culture.
If the organization has a trendy and innovative vibe, the furniture that reflects that style features modern colors and shapes. On the other hand, more traditional organizations should opt for classic furniture and subdued colors.
In general, the brand’s colors can be incorporated into furniture, decor, rugs, and walls, as they convey the company’s culture.
Therefore, this project must align with the organization’s objectives in every respect—from the color scheme to the furniture in the corporate spaces—while ensuring quality, comfort, and ergonomics for all employees.
