Recently, foreign and domestic manufacturers of office furniture strive to release their new products in accordance with the requirements of ergonomics. Recall that ergonomics is a special science that was formed at the intersection of anatomy, physiology, social psychology and some technical sciences. This scientific discipline studies a person in relation to working conditions, to technical means and products (machines, tools, furniture, etc.). If we talk about office furniture, then models that take into account the anthropometric parameters of a person can be considered ergonomic.
For example, ergonomic office desks, which are in high demand, allow you to:
- save work space;
- to provide maximum comfort to a person at his workplace;
reduce fatigue;
- increase employee efficiency.
Designers, designers, technologists are working on creating each new model of office desk in furniture manufacturing companies. Specialists carefully study all issues regarding the shape of the tabletop and table legs, decor, carefully select the materials for the production of a new product. Employees of the marketing and advertising departments who know the requirements of consumers and trends in the development of the modern furniture market are surely connected to the process of developing a model at furniture enterprises.
Together, modern tables and other furnishings appear, characterized by mobility and functionality. The days of bulky monolithic tables and voluminous cabinets cluttering the workspace of office premises have passed. Today, office furniture is relevant, which is characterized by practicality, compactness, versatility, while all items of office furniture are in an optimal shape, they do not take up much space. These furniture qualities are able to guarantee employees maximum comfort in everyday work. Demand today is in designs that can quickly and easily transform. Office tables are often complemented by side tables, side tables and other convenient items.
Modern office furniture, produced by reputable manufacturers, is produced taking into account the anthropological indicators of man. The height of the surface of the office desk is 720-760 mm. It is in this case that it is convenient for an adult of normal growth to work at such a table. At present, tables are being produced for which the height of the workplace is adjustable - the adjustment range can be in the range of 100-150 mm, and in some models up to 200 mm. As for office furniture produced for those workers who work standing up, such products meet the relevant requirements, for example, the reception desk, usually has a height of about 1150 mm.
The creators of office furniture thought over many details. Ergonomic computer tables are produced taking into account the parameters of modern monitors, system units, printers, scanners. Drawers in tables or cabinets are so large that documents of the usual A4 format are cleaned. Cabinets for storing documents allow you to store standard folders on their shelves. The ergonomics of office desks are enhanced by the use of a metal frame, which has a special channel for wiring.
The technologies used today at furniture enterprises make it possible to use various materials, including glass, which has become a highly demanded material in the production of office furniture, in particular tables. Modern glass used by furniture companies is durable and reliable. The traditional materials for the production of ergonomic office furniture are solid wood, chipboard, MDF, and metal. Often a combination of different materials is used, so glass goes well with wood and metal.
