How to introduce biophilic elements into your office?

Biophilic arrangements constitute a response to the basic human need for contact with nature. Biophilic design is about introduc-ing nature or elements imitating nature into the interiors.

Functionality is just as important as aesthetics in this case – biophilic interiors are created for people. Why introduce biophilic elements into your office?

Biophilia in the office translates into better employee health

One of the assumptions of the creators of the biophilic design concept is designing spaces in such a way as to meet the most im-portant human needs. Therefore, the basis of any arrangement should be ergonomic furniture. A great option for the office are, for example, height-adjustable tables or office chairs that activate the spinal muscles while sitting. Sitting & standing solutions are also an interesting alternative, allowing you to work both sitting and standing. Frequent changes of position while working at the computer prevent back and neck tension, headaches, as well as the strain on the spine or wrists. This, in turn, translates into better health and well-being of employees.
