Ergonomic Chair Trends: Winter 2014

The world of workplace ergonomics is always evolving, and when it comes to office chairs there's always new and exciting trends to review! In today's post we'll share the hottest new features and design characteristics being incorporated into the best office chairs on the market. Here's to sitting comfortable and working efficiently in 2015 and beyond!

Elastomeric Mesh

This year we've seen a ton of mesh trends emerge, but none more ergo-effective than elastomeric mesh. Models like the G20 office chair from Global feature alternating vertical rows of clear elastomeric yarns and black polyester yarns to provide ample support to users. This revolutionary mesh creating is far more durable that the traditional woven backs of years gone by. We expect more and more brands to incorporate elastomeric properties into their top chairs to provide longer chair life spans and improved comfort for users.

Contoured Backs

Traditional flat back office chairs are going bye bye. These classic seating solutions that were once the industry standard are being replaced by more effective contoured models that provide far more ergonomic benefits. Industry leading manufacturers like Eurotech Seating and RFM are pushing the industry standards by bringing to market hot new ergonomic office chairs with contoured backs that will no doubt have you sitting in superior comfort.

Integrated Lumbar

Having an office chair with lumbar support is great... if you use it properly! That being said, many of the top chair providers in the ergonomic seating world have taken note that more user friendly lumbar devices must be integrated into the market. This winter we are seeing lumbar trends emerge that include both fixed and adjustable styles that are far more effective than the classic lever and pump ball systems of the past. We think these new ergonomic lumbar technologies will prompt users to use their chairs more effectively in both home and business work environments.

Width Adjustable Arms

In years past office chair arms that would simply adjust up and down had wow factor. As this has become the industry standard, ergonomic seating brands are pushing the limits of what chair arms are capable of. In today's market we are seeing more and more width adjustable arms to provider larger users with a more comfortable work experience. Tilting arms are also becoming popular and help to improve posture and blood flow while reducing common body stressors and fatigue.

Waterfall Seat Edge

Proper posture and good blood flow are key in workplace ergonomics. Using an office chair with a waterfall seat edge will help you achieve both! For this reason we are seeing a huge swing from the traditional contoured seats of years passed to the current waterfall edge designs of the future. Chairs like the iDesk Oroblanco from Cherryman Industries utilize waterfall seat edges that take pressure off the knees by allowing your legs to make a smooth transition from the seat to ground. These high tech computer chairs are rapidly becoming the preferred choice of ergonomists and industry professionals alike.

Seat Slider

Chairs with seat sliding mechanisms are trending in call centers and other shared work environments. These chairs allow users to adjust quickly and effectively to a position of comfort. While not all office chairs come out of the box setup for your specific needs, seat sliders allow both smaller and larger users to find the right amount of support with ease. The depth of your seat from the chair back will greatly influence your posture, and when set correctly can greatly reduce fatigue and back pain.

Weight Sensors

Chairs with weight sensing features are really cool! Imagine settling into an office chair that doesn't require 20 adjustments to operate properly for your specific needs. Weight sensing mechanisms allow chairs to tilt and function effectively based on your body weight. Chairs like the Global Total Office Vion incorporate this technology and are trending in a major way. Sit in a Vion chair once and there's no going back. Simply take a seat and start working comfortably due to the weight sensing capabilities.

How To Spec Your Powered Conference Table

If you're looking to create a cutting edge conference room for your business, you'll need to incorporate a powered table into your space! These days meeting areas are all about efficiency and productivity and powering up your space is just plain smart. Unfortunately, most of today's powered conference room tables are tough to spec. In today's post we'll simplify the process to make selecting your new powered conference table a breeze.

1.) Select A Table

The first step in process is to select a table. You'll want to start by measuring out your conference room to see what size table will be appropriate. Be sure to take note of power outlets, windows, entry ways, and any room obstructions of importance. Next determine how many guests you hope to accommodate during your meetings. On average, you'll want to allocate 3' of table space per guest. If you take one important point away from today's article, let it be this: Measure your space effectively! You don't want to spend thousands on customized powered conference tables only to find that they don't fit properly in their respective areas. Like they always say, measure twice, cut once.

Once your space is properly measured, you'll want to know what powered conference tables are the best for your business. Brands like Mayline and Global Total Office are paving the way this year and should be at the top of your list. Mayline's TransAction series conference tables and Global's Zira tables are the easiest to spec, look great, and provide a ton of customizable options that will help you make your space one of a kind.

2.) Selecting Cut Outs

Once you've measured your space and selected your new conference table, you'll want to select the cutout locations for your power modules. For boardroom tables smaller than 8' in length, a single cutout in the center of your tables surface should be just fine. Those in need of larger solutions will have the option of a variety of cutout locations. Take into consideration your closest power outlets and how many modules you'll need. Often businesses opt to have cutouts in the table center, left, and right ends for a total of 3 ports.

3.) Select Infeed Options

If your table is going to be outfitted with a single cutout, a basic module with three prong outlet cord can be selected to power your space. You can choose to have the module wired to a floor power outlet or a wall outlet depending on the length of power cord you select. If your table is utilizing multiple modules, you'll need to select from a few standard indeed options. This will allow you to daisy chain your modules together, resulting in the need to only plug in one cord to obtain power.

4.) Select Modules

Basic power modules must be selected to outfit your table cutouts. These base units are the main power source of your table. Base modules like the Oasis from Global Total Office can be configured with any number of 3 prong outlets you feel will be necessary. Multiple finish options and sizes are available for your to choose from. Select an option that will be best for your meeting area needs and proceed accordingly.

5.) Select Telecom Plates

Your base power module will only come standard with 3 prong outlet inputs. If this is all you need, you're good to go. However, this is seldom the case. Based on the modules you choose for your powered conference table you'll have a certain number of telecom plates to fill. Options like phone, data, USB, HDMI, and many others are available to choose from to help you take your meeting area to the next level.
