FIVE OFFICE DESIGN TIPS FOR BETTER PRODUCTIVITY

1. Maximise natural light. A bright workplace can support energy, focus and create a more positive atmosphere throughout the day.

2. Invest in ergonomic furniture. Supportive chairs, correctly positioned desks and flexible furniture help people work comfortably and efficiently.

3. Create dedicated work zones. Include areas for focused work, collaboration, meetings and breaks so people can choose the right environment for each task.

4. Control noise and distractions. Acoustic panels, soft furnishings and considered layouts can reduce interruptions and improve concentration.

5. Bring nature into the office. Plants, natural materials and outdoor views can soften the workspace, support wellbeing and help people feel calmer and more connected.

3 KEY STEPS TO CREATING A WELCOMING OFFICE SPACE

1. Design for people first - Choose comfortable furniture, intuitive layouts and flexible spaces that make people feel relaxed, supported and connected from the moment they arrive.

2. Bring nature into the workplace - Plants, natural light, timber, organic textures and earthy materials instantly soften an office and create a calmer, more human environment.

3. Give the space personality - Move beyond the generic corporate look with considered colour, artwork, lighting and furniture that reflects the character of the business. A welcoming office should feel professional, but it should also feel alive.

FIVE OFFICE DESIGN TIPS

1. Bring nature inside: Plants, natural light, timber and organic textures soften the workplace and create a calmer, more inviting environment.

2. Create different work zones: Give people options for focused work, collaboration, meetings, casual conversations and those much-needed coffee breaks.

3. Choose furniture for comfort and personality: Ergonomics matter, but office furniture doesn’t need to look boring. Pieces like The Freddie chair can bring function, flexibility and character.

4. Get the lighting right: Maximise natural daylight, then layer task and ambient lighting to make the office feel warm and comfortable rather than overly corporate.

5. Design for how people feel: A great office isn’t simply about aesthetics. Create a workplace where people feel comfortable, energised, connected and genuinely want to spend their time.

Colour harmony is one of the most powerful tools in interior design because colour doesn’t simply change how a space looks - it changes how a space feels. When colours work together, they create visual balance, allowing the eye to move comfortably through a room while giving the space a sense of connection and purpose. Whether working with tonal shades, complementary colours, earthy neutrals or a bold accent, the key is understanding how each colour relates to the next and the mood they create together. A successful colour harmony can make a room feel calmer, warmer, more energetic, sophisticated or playful, while also connecting furniture, finishes, artwork and architectural elements into one cohesive story. Great colour isn’t about everything matching; it’s about everything belonging

"Biophilic design in the office is about creating a workplace that feels more human by reconnecting us with nature. It goes far beyond simply adding a few plants - natural light, greenery, timber, organic textures, earthy materials and views outdoors can all soften the corporate environment and create a space that feels calmer, warmer and more alive. With so much of our working day spent surrounded by screens and technology, bringing nature into the workplace provides a welcome visual and mental reset. And making a little cameo in this space is The Joplin stool, proving that practical office furniture can still bring personality and flexibility into the design. For me, good office design isn’t simply about how a space looks; it’s about how people feel when they’re in it - comfortable, connected, inspired and ready to do their best work" Markus Hamence

"I like The Zeppelin because it has that perfect mix of comfort, sophistication and rockstar attitude. The high back gives it real presence, while the sculpted shape feels relaxed rather than overly corporate. I love it as an alternative office chair for those moments when you want to step away from the desk, think, read or simply reset. The dark upholstery and polished swivel base keep it sharp and contemporary, and it looks particularly good surrounded by greenery. The Zeppelin isn’t just a chair for sitting - it’s a chair for thinking, creating and taking a moment." Markus Hamence

"I like The Ace because it has presence without trying too hard. That high sculptural back creates a sense of privacy and focus, almost like your own little escape within the office, while the curved form keeps it comfortable and inviting. I love furniture that brings personality into a workplace, and The Ace does exactly that — it’s functional, architectural and just a little bit rockstar. It’s not simply somewhere to sit; it creates a space within the space." Markus Hamence

"I like The Clapton because it completely rethinks what a training chair can be. It’s comfortable, mobile and incredibly practical, with everything you need built into one clever design - a writing tablet, cup holder and storage space underneath. I love that it gives people their own little workspace while still allowing a training room to remain flexible and adaptable. And visually, it has presence. It feels more like a great lounge chair than traditional training furniture. The Clapton is smart, comfortable, functional and a little unexpected - exactly what I want from contemporary workplace design." Markus Hamence
