Fun with Shapes. Fun with Colours.

Circles, squares, triangles and curves define the new Element series of lounge seating from Artopex.  Simple geometric shapes create simple and effective design “elements”.

Add in either straight or fun curved top stitching, some creative fabric choices and the aesthetic options are endless.

Put some fun back in your lounge or lobby with Element.

The trend continues towards lower panel heights in the “traditional” cubicle workstation.  The average 66″ high or taller panels are being specified for new offices less and less all the time.  Today, we’re finding 42″ tall panels to be much more common, with more glass included.

All of this falls into both the LEED initiatives to incorporate more natural light and better airflow, as well as the trend towards more collaborative work spaces.

Management like the lower panels heights as they can see staff more readily and keep tabs on what’s going on.  Staff appreciates the lower heights because it truly does create a much less claustrophobic office space.

Owners and purchasers are happy because the smaller panels also represent a significant cost savings.

All around, the “new” workstations are light, airy, modern and still exceptionally functional.

In keeping with their forward-thinking design strategy, Canadian office furniture manufacturer Artopex has added a tremendous new batch of options to their reception area furniture.  The focal point of most reception areas is the reception desk itself, and Artopex has created a large, flexible catalogue of modular reception desk components with which your imagination is the only limit to creating a very unique reception station. A  breadth of materials are available, including laminates, metal panels, glass, veneer, fabric and more. The modular nature of the system allows very custom-looking and custom-fit stations to be created to fit the client’s particular needs. Visit the Artopex website to see more of the great product lines they offer to outfit your entire office.

The new Lancelot seating line from Artopex is a very visually unique departure from the traditional lounge setup.

Designed to tie in with the new AIR line from Artopex, Lancelot uses the same legs and 2″ laminate surfaces.

Notice how the seats are literally set on the table surface.

With many, many choices of fabrics, laminates and metal finishes, the possibilities are great and fun!

Braille markings on control

This is the first office chair I’ve come across to have included on each chair Braille markings on all the control handles.  Now, anyone visually impaired can easily identify what each ergonomic adjustment control does.

This is the T51 chair by Sidiz.  It comes in fabric or leather and with or without a headrest.  Arms are optional, as is the chrome 5-star base.

Priced as a mid-level chair, it’s affordability and quality combined.

The T51 offers some very unique features.  One of these features is the adjustable lumbar.  Looking at the side profile, imagine yourself sitting in the chair and reaching back with both hands to grab the bottom of the backrest.  Lift up, and the ratcheting mechanism literally bows the backest out to form a very pronounced and supportive lumbar.

The T51 also features a seat sliding mechanism so you can control where the end of the seat lands behind your knees.

The adjustable arms go in&out, up and down and also swivel inwards.

The headrest is height and angle adjustable.

Like to try one out?  Contact us at Signature Office Interiors.  We serve the Greater Vancouver area as well as the Lower Mainland and of course, our home base area of the Fraser Valley.

Here are just a few images of Artopex‘s newest line, the AIR series.  We have two very different setups in our showroom now, which combined showcase a tremendous number of unique features and items.

We have both trim styles shown; the Techno and the Deco.

The AIR series is designed to incorporate the latest trends towards open, collaborative office environments with low heights and raised components to allow more light, more airflow and better communication.

AIR includes many options for SHARED storage units, which makes for some fun and functional shared work stations.

Notice also (pictured) the Recycling Pedestal, which has a collecting bin behind a closed door.  An open slot is left above the door to simply slip your papers inside.  Smart thinking.  I love items like this!

AIS DiVi Workstations

Selecting new office furniture and getting professional help with the space planning can seem like a large project.  However, most furniture purchasers and end-users find the true hair-pulling time to be when it comes time to choose colours and fabrics.

How will it look?  Will it clash with the carpet?  Should we go with solid colours or two-tone?  Should we choose high-contrast two-tones or low-contrast?  There seem to be many questions and no apparent answers until the furniture actually arrives (when it’s too late to change your mind).

Here’s where colour renderings can be a tremendous help when selecting your new office furnishings.

Pictured here you see two identical versions of some Divi panel system stations by AIS; identical except for the finishes that is.

With AIS’s Dress, Render & Print tool, you are able to see for yourself how any and every combination of panel fabric, laminate, edge trim, panel trim, baseboard and glass tint will look before you commit to a decision.

Looking at this images of the workstations, you can clearly see what a dramatic difference it makes changing the colours.

Take the guess work out of choosing your new office furniture.  Contact Signature Office Interiors for help!
