Best Gifts

Well Mom’s day came and gone, did you get mom something AMAZING? If not, are you thinking you should have… Or wait, dad’s day is coming up next!!!! Guess what, you sit more then you sleep! In an office setting you should always have the best chair! The Aeron is just one example of a great sit. What you are looking for in a great sit is simple… Quality made seat! In an Aeron, Mirra 2, or Embody even you will find that they use a suspension material to let you breathe while sitting this is a great feature, however, many folks do sit prefer a good foam seat. However, if you are looking at foam definitely splurge (it is where you are sitting for 8 hours a day 5 days a week) and get a 5” high density seat possibly with a foam memory. Never forget that you are looking for COMFORT. Then you need to consider a seat slider or depth adjustment, this is not usually on the Cheapest chairs, but this is where you will sit for a very long portion of your life. Next you want to think about your back! You want a chair with an adjustable lumbar or at minimum an adjustable back height. Some chairs have a simple back height adjustment that will move the lumbar up and down, as our NPI540 does, others will have Adjustable lumbar, as the Mirra does or the PostureFit like the Mirra 2.

Come stop by and have a sit test. Call ahead to make sure someone is there! But never settle for your sit…

Meeting and Teaming

Before and after meetings, Herman Miller describes the small short meetings as Warm up and Cool down. Warm Up might be practicing or bouncing an idea off a colleague before walking into a meeting. Cool down is making sure that you double check with someone when you are meeting back up or a short quick meeting before heading back to your landing or desk.

These spaces are very crucial so that people feel welcome in a space. You might be able to set down your paper work and grab a drink at a nearby coffee bar, or fill up your water bottle.

The image below shows a meeting space full of Eames Aluminum group chairs with Eames table. Then directly next door, you can see a nice warm up and cool down space, with Chadwick modular lounge. Power in the base to help keep us all charged and ready to come and go.

Storage is Flux-able

JSI created Flux to be used all over, not just in an office space. Flux has lockers and storage units for every public space. Multiple people can use these in libraries, open office plans, and touch down spaces. That away people can still feel safe that their ‘stuff’ is locked up. Flux will also help divide space and leave visual boundaries to keep site lines clear and open.

Popp of Spring

Spring has sprung and we want to be outside… Do you have a patio at work and could use a few chairs and a comfortable space for your employees to soak up some vitamin D while on a short break? Check out Popp. JSI came out with the series Popp for that. A Pop of color and style, with great lines. This helps keep the space usable for everyone. Also, if a rain storm is coming in they are easy to stack up and move in when needed. Or if you have a large meeting and need a few more chairs, you can bring them in quickly to help out with that space also.

Team Work

So we work every day on teams, whether that is for a few minutes or a few hours. Projects and Problem solving is much better with Teams. We need a space for team planning and ideas to get put on paper and boards to start the problem solving. Here is a great example of some different options. When people can chose their seating options, they become more comfortable and easier to speak their minds. You also get to see some space dividing with the Magis Steelwood storage units. However, you can decide to get comfortable in the Geiger Cross hatch or the Eames high table with the Geiger stools. Where would you like to work?

Bryn Side Seating

So you have a great new office, but forgot one distinct point… Guest Chairs!!!! Don’t worry, check out the options of Bryn. Bryn can flow from side chair seating, to lunch room options and training rooms. You can have a wood, plastic, or fabric seat and backs. We have stools and chair options. Bryn is easy to flow from a front office to the break rooms.

Tasking during the Week

Mirra 2 was designed by Studio 7.5. This was an upgrade from the original Mirra. The new features really help the user to develop the correct posture while sitting. Mirra 2 has an easy to use seat depth adjustment, arms that are fully functioning up, down, right, left and pivoting in and out. The back also will flex back and forth for full reaching behind or near by.

Conference Room is the Center of the Office

Guess what is one of the most important rooms in an office? The conference room of course. This is where the executives have important meetings, clients will make appearances here, video conferencing happens to people even outside the organization can see it… We have to make STATEMENTS in the conference room! Here are some amazing photos of some Eames Conference chairs and Eames tables working together! Sometimes in conference rooms too we like to have height either a bench on the perimeter or high stools to keep everyone involved in the meetings!

Lobby decisions

So as you look at your lobby, do you see an inviting space with options for your associates to meet and have quick warm up meetings or a stark ‘get going’ space? Today’s lobby is designed to inhabit a few different ideas. Making them a little complex, as before things like power and work tables were not needed, in today’s lobby they are musts. Sometimes it is a division to keep someone able to continue working if a conference room is not available, or if they just need to step away from their desk to get a change of scenery. This is a great showing of Bevel seating, Eames Wire Chairs and Eames tables… Are you ready to work, play and learn from your associates and colleagues.
