employees who don’t have the option of working
at home. The desks can be adjusted in height, thus
enabling ergonomic work standing up.
Great value is placed on ergonomics in the seating
as well: the swivel chair models provide dynamic
seating with high-level comfort. “It’s important to
create focus areas. The world of the office is dynamic
and occasionally hectic, so we also need places of
retreat for concentrated work”, Kern
emphasises.
Focus on sustainability.
When designing the office, the main
focus was on sustainability. For instance,
lockers were equipped with the
existing locker doors. The desktops
were also reused: equipping them with an electrical
height adjustment mechanism gave them a new lease
of life.
The New Work office is surrounded by a panoramic
view across Vienna, which employees and guests can
enjoy from practically every room, thanks to the endto-end
window front.

Your walk in the woods on half a

Standing on hard floors puts great stress on the body
after a fairly brief period. In order to make work in
a standing position more comfortable, Aeris has
developed the Muvmat. This special anti-fatigue mat
is the perfect supplement for a height-adjustable desk,
but also for all other workplaces where people have
to stand for lengthy periods. The topographical 3D
structure in the mat activates foot reflex zones, relaxes
the muscles, and keeps the body moving: like a walk
on forest floor.

Parrot free-standing luminaire.
The Parrot free-standing luminaire
manufactured by Grau is highly functional.
Charged by means of an innovative
charging stone, it can be relocated easily
thanks to its stable but lightweight aluminium
body. It’s as practical on the desk
as it is when simply enhancing the setting.
The light disc of the luminaire head is
equipped with a high-power 10 W LED
unit. The free-standing luminaire can
be dimmed using a touch panel. Further
advantages: the entire luminaire can be
adjusted 42 cm in height, whilst its luminaire
head inclines 30° and rotates 310°.
