The corporate world is developing at a fast pace, and so is the seating industry, its provisions and offerings, finds Shristi Nangalia
To keep up with newer developments in technology, the constant need for increased productivity, collaboration and a reduced carbon footprint, companies are creating conducive environments. Office architecture has become an important part of nurturing a workforce.
Whether for a big or small office, one cannot ignore the significance of an efficient seating plan, since it increases comfort levels, productivity and collaboration at work. Fine Grace is one of the leading designers and manufacturers of office furniture, providing a broad range of customisable office, modular, hotel, cafe and lounge furniture as well as interior solutions. The company believes that to organise any office productively, one must consider how the business works and its aim. Jitender Yadav, director, Fine Grace Office Systems, states, “How one organises an office space should never be an afterthought. In fact, the layout is a major factor in influencing outcomes. Have a good physical structure and things just flow; have a poor structure and you stumble. Software or sales companies, for example, with a culture and output that are more dependent on concentration and individual completion of work benefit from a comparatively less open office layout; by facing colleagues away from each other or carefully utilising and placing office partition screens. This should reduce the compulsion for distraction, though collaboration is still easy when necessary.”
New technology has profoundly impacted the treatment of office arrangements. Today’s offices require more aisle space for mobility and seating that eases portability and movement. Different segments of the office need to be aligned such that every cabinet is smoothly functional. Time- and energy-saving models are now being introduced and innovated constantly to customise arrangements.
