Life is our inspiration
Life is our inspiration
Whether in the office or at home, we spend a significant part of our day in the work environment. That’s why office furniture design is extremely vital and influential. Aesthetic, ergonomic, comfortable, and functional office furniture shapes interaction and communication in the workspace, influences behaviors, and contributes to productivity and well-being.
Office furniture design, for all these reasons, is a process that needs continuous attention, significance, and constant renewal in light of the ever-changing and evolving needs of employees. At Zivella, we focus on designing products that are not only functional and aesthetic but also beneficial for both the body and soul.
Thinking deep, analyzing, and advancing
In the grand scheme of things, the primary goal is, of course, to meet needs. However, thinking short-term or coming up with temporary solutions won't be the answer. For a design to gain widespread acceptance, be able to cater to broader audiences, and prove beneficial in the long run, these can be considered primary success criteria. From this perspective, office furniture designs require in-depth thinking, analysis, continuous improvement, and, most importantly, drawing inspiration from employees' lives to offer them the comfort they desire.
In a person's life cycle, nature, culture, colors, patterns, and figures hold a very significant place. Therefore, design fundamentally revolves around life itself. The design process should reflect the present, the past, experiences, accumulated knowledge, and impart familiar experiences to employees.
Designs should be the reflection of life
In the midst of the daily grind, everyone needs to work better, live better, and feel much better. Office furniture plays a significant role in enhancing and supporting employees' physical and mental well-being.
While designing ergonomic office furniture that caters to employees' physiological needs and supports their health, emotional needs should also be considered. The office furniture should also provide a sense of calm and relaxation. Office furniture designs should be flexible, adaptable, and reconfigurable for the ever changing needs and preferences. The design should also promote the healthy use of technology and support employees' physical and mental health.
Culture: the bedrock of humanity
For centuries, people from different cultures have coexisted, influencing and enhancing each other in various ways. It's possible to draw inspiration from these cultural reflections and legacies in office furniture designs, much like what we strive to do at Zivella.
While it's crucial for office furniture to be ergonomic, comfortable, and functional, it's equally valuable for it to be aesthetically pleasing and culturally meaningful. Starting from the experience of culture and space mutually shaping each other, it's essential to analyze different cultural practices, values, and aesthetics. The creation of culturally sensitive and inclusive products should be prioritized to preserve, reflect, and celebrate our shared cultural heritage.
Colors, apart from being a part of cultural heritage, are potent and have significant effects on employees' well-being and mood. Using various colors in designs supports creativity, productivity, and happiness and helps create attractive, lively, and aesthetically pleasing work environments. Colors should be used strategically in designs by considering their effects, following current trends, and analyzing them meticulously. This way, they can be both visually appealing, balanced, harmonious, and can evoke various moods and emotions in employees.
While focusing on all these details in office furniture design, reducing waste while considering environmental impacts is now everyone's fundamental responsibility. It's crucial to focus on using natural and sustainable materials and creating durable, long-lasting products. With the environment in mind, creating sustainable and eco-friendly products is a necessity.
