<strong>COMPACT</strong> <strong>WORKING</strong> <strong>–</strong> <strong>THE</strong> <strong>GLOBE</strong> <strong>CONCEPT</strong><br />
New technology has enabled us to be freer and less<br />
dependent on traditional office workplaces. Distance<br />
working is more and more common; our meetings are<br />
increasingly virtual; fixed workstations are replaced by<br />
hot-desking; and large, expensive conference rooms<br />
are replaced by small, technology-packed cubbyholes.<br />
New times also require a new way of thinking with<br />
regard to office furniture. The <strong>GLOBE</strong> range is based<br />
around a modern, mobile and active workplace:<br />
• The higher seating position ensures a better outlook,<br />
better reach and better ergonomics.<br />
• The rounded seat and back makes sitting more<br />
dynamic and active.<br />
• The shape and flexibility of the ball-shaped back<br />
supports the upper body and the arms at various<br />
angles.<br />
• The ball-shaped footrest provides an even greater<br />
variety of sitting positions.<br />
• With “roll-on, roll-off ergonomics” that suit most<br />
people, without the need for time-consuming,<br />
complex adjustments.<br />
The Globe Concept was developed by the Norwegian<br />
designer Peter Opsvik, renowned for the classic high<br />
chair Tripp Trapp, the office chair Capisco and the<br />
revolutionary Balans concept. Together with its<br />
cooperative partner Moment AB, the Opsvik company<br />
has developed an entirely new concept for the modern<br />
and flexible workplace. The Globe Concept was created<br />
to inspire curiosity and make sitting active <strong>–</strong> in both<br />
public spaces and offices.<br />
” Conventional workplaces will be challenged by<br />
compact units that better suits our new, more<br />
flexible and IT-driven way of working.<br />

<strong>GLOBE</strong> ”TREE” is the “all inclusive” option. With its two back<br />
balls, rounded seat and two flexible tabletops, as well as the foot<br />
rest, it offers a complete and “super-ergonomic” workstation in<br />
a compact format. There is plenty of space for a laptop or tablet<br />
PC, mobile phone and coffee cup. ”Globe Tree” is the new laptop<br />
workplace which addresses the consequences of the changes that<br />
information technology has made on the way in which we work.<br />
The design fits most users without the need for tedious and<br />
complicated adjustments. You decide where you want the tables <strong>–</strong><br />
as a work surface for your laptop and a sideboard for your mobile<br />
phone and coffee cup, or to just support your arm while you think.<br />

<strong>GLOBE</strong> TWO based on the height of its sitting position and foot<br />
support, provides the body with freedom of movement and<br />
energy. The increased seating height and ball footrest provide<br />
maximum support for the back and shoulders. The <strong>GLOBE</strong> TWO<br />
serves as an excellent conference chair for conducting efficient<br />
meetings around a slightly higher conference table. (The<br />
recommended table height is approx. 90 cm.)<br />
The Globe Two also serves as a special waiting room chair; it<br />
is easy to sit on, it feels good when sitting slightly higher up and<br />
one can quickly get up from it. The ergonomic design suits most<br />
people, thereby eliminating time-consuming chair adjustments.<br />

* Expences for optional fabric will be added. We recommend OXYGEN fabric from Camira Fabrics Ltd<br />
(www.camirafabrics.com). For other colours and fabrics than optional, expences for customising will be added.<br />
<strong>GLOBE</strong> ONE is a stool, perfect in waiting room area or in areas<br />
where freedom of movement of the upper body is essential.<br />
In spite of its lack of a back ball, <strong>GLOBE</strong> ONE encourages an<br />
active and and upright sitting, which is reminiscent of a rider<br />
on horseback. The rounded seat forces the pelvis forward and<br />
increases the use of the body’s largest muscle group <strong>–</strong> the<br />
gluteal muscles.<br />
In this way, there is less pressure on the back, shoulders and<br />
neck. The small supporting ball creates an extra level for the foot<br />
and thus increases mobility even further. <strong>GLOBE</strong> ONE is the<br />
perfect meeting chair, as it takes up a minimal amount of space.<br />
