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.

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!

Your workplace requires seating that is highly functional, adaptable, projects an image that is consistent with the organization and is of good value.  Contessa, an elegant synthesis of European design and seating technology is a chair that meets those requirements.

Movement is critical to healthy sitting, it allows the body to continuously regenerate and promote healthful circulation as well as preventing the user’s back from becoming static.  With this in mind, Teknion designed the Contessa chair to adjust naturally and precisely, considering not only the chair’s functions but also addressing how the body is affected while sitting.  The mechanisms (located in the armrests) enable the users to make precise adjustments and experience the change immediately.  This ability to continuously make adjustments while feeling immediate change encourages users to alter their working positions.  The more we move, the more our bodies are able to combat the effects of long-term sitting postures such as fatigue and chronic pain.

Contessa’s “smart operation” concept enables adjustments to be made easily while the user is seated, encouraging accurate positioning, continuous movement and unparalleled comfort.

To ensure total comfort the following adjustments and features are available with the Contessa seating line:

• Lumbar height adjustment – can be raised or lowered up to 2 1/2 inches
• Lumbar depth adjustment – adjusts backwards or forwards up to 5/8 of an inch
• Armrest pivot – arm pad angles adjust by 30 degrees (20 degrees inward and 10 degrees outward)
• Arm height adjustment – adjusts up to 4 inches by simply lifting
• Tilt control mechanism
• Seat height adjustment
• Seat depth adjustment – adjusts back and forth up to 2 inches
• Tilt tension adjustment- four setting provide minimum to maximum tension
• Tess Mesh fabric ensures complete comfort while provide free flowing support
• Optional Headrest – includes height and forward/backward movement and angle rotation
• Optional Coat Hook

Environmental impact was also taken into account when designing Contessa.  All of Teknion’s products have gone through rigorous testing to ensure Greengaurd™ Certification for Indoor Air Quality and Contessa is no exception.  Not only is Contessa Greenguard™ certified it is also 95% recyclable.  We are committed to providing highly functional and aesthetically pleasing products for your office environment – backed by our limited lifetime warranty – while honoring our pledge of sustainability.

The Contessa series is available in the Fraser Valley through Signature Office Interiors.

AIS Case Study

I have always found manufacturer case studies to be invaluable when helping my clients select new office furniture.  For so many people, visualization is a very tough thing.  Telling them how their office will look after the new furniture is installed does no good whatsoever if they can not visualize it.

Case studies of similar products in similar offices can help tremendously to appreciate the improvement in function, flow and aesthetics.

AIS, a panel system manufacturer, understands this benefit and provides a wealth of case studies of their previous client installations.

Their case studies are search-able by product line or industry.  Would you like to see what new office furniture other car dealerships have been buying?  Look it up!

Here in British Columbia (BC), Signature Office Interiors is proud to represent AIS and their full line of panel systems.  AIS is simply the most cost effective new furniture system available (and yet is still made in North America!)
