In 2018, they were approached to provide a complete redesign of a call centre office environment. The project not only included new furniture and fittings, but a complete revision of the way the staff worked, with a focus on the health and wellbeing of employees.
Workstations are separated by vibrantly coloured and appealing dividers, adding a splash of colour whilst allowing for focused work, without completely isolating workers. Plants are also placed strategically, bringing a calming sense of nature to the office environment. Warm and homely wooden surfaces complete the look, creating a workplace that workers feel at home in.
Marc Vermeulen, Founder & Creative Director of KuóStudio explains “The starting point of this project is based on our concept ‘The healthy office’, meaning an office environment which helps the occupants to excel and highly caters for their wellbeing. By creating a nice atmosphere, optimising acoustics, adding lots of green plants, fully flexible workstations and giving the possibilities per workstation to adjust light, light intensity and temperature, it makes the new call centre a real place to be. A space where people love to come, stay and work!”
Each workstation features a HÅG SoFi mesh chair, which KuóStudio sourced from furniture suppliers Health2Work. Each model came fitted with HÅG SlideBack™ armrests and fabric colour matched to the workstations. Comfortable and stylish, the HÅG SoFi is also fitted with the unique HÅG in Balance technology, encouraging micro movements throughout the day, without interrupting work, providing better circulation to the legs.
Talking about the selection of the HÅG SoFi, Marc continues; “We choose the HÅG SoFi chair because of its excellent seating quality, to creating a good seating solution for every person. Besides that, we love its design and the colour combination.”
The complete office redesign is also fully flexible, and can potentially be moved to a future location if needed, with minimal destruction of the fittings.
