Every day, a new company is calling for its employees to return to the office. Waking up earlier to accommodate for the commute will be difficult enough, why not ensure your workspace is always a happy, comfortable environment to enter?
Besides practicing office feng shui to redirect and harmonize the area’s energy, adding warm colors within the space, including yellow, orange, red, and pink will evoke feelings of happiness and brighten one’s mood. Color psychology suggests natural and human-made colors play a larger role in our lives than realized. Knowing colors influence our moods and emotions, one can strategically integrate different tones and hues to design a positive environment.
Here are a few products from workplace furniture manufacturers Teknion and Studio TK, and textile options from Luum Textiles, for those looking to add a pop of color to their workplace:
Routes allows one to build-up a complete workspace for a small, tight-knit studio or create casual “pop-up” work hubs across the expanse of a corporate headquarters.
Bonds allows for a spectrum of creative expression. While a single fabric must be used to upholster each module, ample creativity is achieved by choosing quiet neutral tones or vibrant colors; fabrics with a smooth hand or deep texture; light or dark wood finishes.
Designed for Teknion by Pearson Lloyd, the Essa task chair takes cues from a classic club chair – stressing simplicity, softness and a rich materiality. In essence, the chair looks like the comfort that it is.
Libelle, Dutch for “Dragonfly”, is a functional, yet whimsical, collection of seating options, including: a pouf, a low back lounge chair, and an innovative lounge chair with privacy. Libelle’s 3D knit semi-transparent screen has 11 finishes to choose from. The base is available in a variety of powder coat finishes and the tablet surface comes in both wood veneer and laminate options. Together, the ability to customize Libelle to fit each user’s options leads to an endless possibility of personalized chairs.
Vettore, which means array in Italian, offers countless configuration possibilities to fit within various workplace applications including a relaxed seating area within your home office or a collaboration space within an office. The collection alleviates work/life balance by bringing in relaxed and comfortable residential design styles paired with Studio TK’s range of design options.
In the Shared Ground collection, sustainability and modern craft converge to reveal similar traditions and shared responsibility to each other and the Earth. This collection of four textiles by Suzanne Tick is inspired by the origins of textile making. Shared Ground’s optimistic color palette brings renewed energy into a space. Color inspiration spans from the soothing qualities of natural wool to high impact brights on recycled materials through new dye processes.
