In the dynamic, hybrid world of modern work, ergonomics is more important than ever. Modern workplaces extend far beyond the traditional configuration of a desk and office swivel chair and rely on flexible concepts that promote good health. Individual solutions to meet specific needs – usually a mixture of flexible and fixed workstations – not only support physical well-being, but also boost productivity and creativity. Companies that invest in ergonomic design create space for innovation and promote a sustainable, user-centred working environment that can meet the challenges of the future.
With flexible workplace concepts, such as flex desks, hot desking or desk sharing, the workstations are not permanently assigned to individual employees, but are freely available to the teams as need be. This promotes collaboration and optimises the use of space. So-called touchdown workstations are also flexible, temporary workplaces of this kind. They are used primarily to offer employees a place to work when they come to the office for a short time.

In hybrid work environments offering flexible workspaces, there will still be some members of the team who are permanently present in the office and keep fixed workstations. Employees who regularly use special technical equipment or work with confidential information also benefit from having a permanently assigned, personal workplace.

Whether it's hybrid or remote work, there has probably never been more flexibility and independence in the history of work. What sounds paradoxical is the fact that, although we are working more and more flexibly and remotely, unfortunately we are physically moving less and less. However, the back problems that often result from this can be avoided – the magic word is exercise.
Very much reflecting the motto: work hybrid – stay active!
Our individually adjustable Balance mechanisms offer the following advantages for ME zones in modern new work environments:
Dynamism and movement: They promote continuous movement and make it possible to switch actively between different postures, which helps to prevent fatigue and incorrect postures.
Physical activation: The variable use of the muscles stimulates blood circulation and improves oxygen supply.
Promoting concentration: Active breaks and changing working positions support mental freshness and creativity.
Prevention of complaints: Regular adjustments to the movement sequence prevent long-term health problems.
Our solutions for a dynamically activating seated posture:
- Synchronised seat and backrest movement

When you sit at a conference table or at touchdown workstations, so in communicative TEAM zones, an active seat tilt is the best option to promote a healthy seated posture and add more dynamism and efficiency to the meeting.
At industrial workstations in ME and TEAM zones, a forward-facing seated posture often predominates. It is important here for the backrest to follow the movements of the person sitting on the chair and thus allow a change of posture in the upper body, but also offer secure support.
Our solutions for a flexible seated posture:
- Seat shell permanently follows the movements of the upper body with a constantly open seat angle of 95°.
- Infinite adjustment of the backrest counterpressure for body weights of approx. 50–125 kg.
- Seat-shell tilt can be locked in 4 positions.
- See-saw mechanism with large seat-shell tilt angle, incl. forward seat tilt
- Ideal for conferences and for touchdown workstations.
