15 Awesome And Inspiring Offices
I’m sure you’ve seen this office plenty of times on the internet. This office is all about fun: it has a lot of specially decorated rooms in which employees can do their work. There’s even a game room for relaxation and a gym where you can work out. Check it out: The Selgas Cano Architecture office, designed by Iwan Baan, makes you feel like a part of nature. Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past five years, you’ve probably already heard of Twitter. Saegeling Medizintechnik is a German company that produces high-end medical equipment.

Ergonomie bureau, aménagement des postes de travail tertiaire et l’espace de travail L'essentiel sur la "bonne" position de travail au bureau Lombalgie ? Douleur aux épaules ? En revanche, le bureau n’est, hélas, pratiquement jamais réglable en hauteur alors que ceci est aussi important que le réglage du siège. Les problèmes de postures de travail sont liés à une hauteur fixe du bureau Une hauteur fixe n'est pas adaptée à la diversité des tailles Vous pouvez en apprécier ci-dessous les effets pour une personne d’1,5 mètre, une autre d’1,75 mètre et enfin une personne d’1,95 mètre, lorsque le siège n'est pas réglé. La hauteur standard du plan de travail est environ à 72 cm et cette hauteur est ajustée sur un homme de taille moyenne (environ 175cm). Conséquences Pour compenser ce décalage, les utilisateurs règlent leur siège afin de s’ajuster au niveau du plan de travail. La solution réside dans le réglage du bureau en hauteur Le réglage du siège ne suffit pas (et un meilleur dossier n’apporte rien au problème). Les postures contraintes

underwatersuite.jpg (960×639) Lofted Space-Saving Furniture for Bedroom Interiors | Designs &Ideas on Dornob Tumidei is more than just a furniture company – they construct modern and relatively inexpensive (no, not cheap) pieces of furniture that they also create compositions from – interior design photos that you can use to shape your own space. These lofted bedroom interiors are brilliantly varied and are great space-saving solutions for cramped bedrooms. A lot of these lofted interiors are clearly designed for children and teens in terms of sizes, colors and material quality.

Private House in Tinos | Yatzer& photo (c) Yiorgos Kordakis There is a symbolic island, a gem with the essence of calmness and serenity in Cyclades, Greece. Its beauty is picturesque and it reminds you of all that is idealic. This heaven is Tinos. On this island we discovered a private house designed by Greek Zege architects which represents all that Tinos stands for. Respecting its architectural surroundings and capturing the day to day beauty and simplicity, the architects created this private residence as it was meant to be designed for Tinos. Located on a mountain in the old residential site of Triandros this vacation home is actually made up of two separate houses which have been brought together through a picturesque veranda. The exterior architecture coincides with the rules and balance of the typical residential islandic forms. The interior consists of 250sqm living space, from which one house has three storeys and the other just two. This approach is also carried through into the bedrooms. sources:

Moving Walls Transform Apartment: Four Minutes of WOW! (VIDEO) A year ago we wrote about Gary Chang's Domestic Transformer, an incredible 344 square foot apartment that could change into any of 24 different designs. We showed pictures and plans, but more than any house I have seen, this one needs a movie. Planet Green visited it for the World's Greenest Homes, and it is truly four minutes of wow. Get a bigger version on Planet Green.I repeat the plans below the fold for reference while watching.... all photos: Marcel Lam for The New York Times One learns a lot from the video that we didn't know last year- that swinging hammock is really in the center of a huge home theater setup. The wall units, which are suspended from steel tracks bolted into the ceiling, seem to float an inch above the reflective black granite floor. A simplified drawing of the apartment from AFP. Chang also explains why this kind of design is so important in a world of diminishing resources, particularly when one of those resources is space: Plans of the uniit:

La vérité sur le Burn-out La crise économique accentue la pression sur les salariés. Dans son livre «burn-out», Christina Maslach nous parle autrement de ce mal qui touche un si grand nombre de collaborateurs. Outre une baisse de confiance en soi et une fragilité émotionnelle, le burn-out perturbe la mémoire et les capacités de concentration. Pour Christina Maslach, c’est bien le travail qui est en cause dans cette épidémie de burn-out. Les salariés se sentent épuisés, deviennent moins performants et finissent par perdre tous leurs repères. Depuis quelques années, des chercheurs s’intéressent aux performances cognitives des personnes en burn-out. Pour Patrick Légeron, co-auteur du rapport sur le stress au travail, il y a 5 axes de prévention : - Faire de ce sujet un axe stratégique de l’entreprise : Nokia estime que les mesures de prévention permettent un formidable retour sur investissement. - Mettre en place des diagnostics - Revoir l’organisation du travail - Aider les salariés.

ora concept watch by alexandros stasinopoulos sep 29, 2009 'ora' concept watch by alexandros stasinopoulos greek designer alexandros stasinopoulos has sent us images of his latest concept watch ‘ora’. the ‘ora’ concept is a study on the field of haute horlogerie. it focuses on the display of time via an unconventional mode, by replacing the expected dial arrangement found in the vast majority of the mechanical watcheswith a set of three interwoven tapes – one to indicate the hour(s), one to indicate the minute(s), and one to indicate the day. the design of the case reflects an ‘inside-out’ design approach as it was the mechanism’s arrangement that prescribed the overall form in an attempt to enhance its uniqueness and create a distinctive silhouette. btw alex was a former design aerobics participant and designboom would like to congratulate him on his quality of work. if you would like to participate in our current courses check out the full list here ridhika naidoo I designboom

Rent a Tiny Sleepbox At Moscow Airport. For Sleeping. Images credit Arch Group/Ivanov Ilya. When I first wrote about the Sleepbox two years ago, I was dubious that it would ever see the light of day, noting "It is an interesting exercise in seeing how small a space one can comfortably live in, but one suspects that the opportunity for, um, misuse might keep this idea of the 15 minute hotel room from going mainstream." But it has, with a working prototype set up in Moscow. Designed by the Arch Group, about the only change from the original proposal is that it is made of wood instead of plastic (common for prototypes, and the minimum time has increased from 15 minutes to half an hour. They appear to have given up on one my favourite features of the original concept, the automatic bed-changing system: [bed] is equipped with automatic system of change of bed linen. Instead they have gone for conventional linen. The architects write: Imagine the situation where you are in a modern city, you are not a local resident, and you have not booked a hotel.
