Well, what can I say.. The Relations range from Sedus Stoll really has caught my attention lately. Actually, not just mine, but that of several visitors to my site www.urban-office.com The range seems to be causing somewhat of a stir! Not only with great modern looks that we always try and post, or the great quality you would come to expect from our selected ranges, but Relations has a more completeness about it. How, you ask? Well, let me explain a little more..
Furniture ranges tend to have one or two great ergonomic add-onssuch as CPU holders or wire management etc Don’t get me wrong, there are some really great ranges out there with more accessories and solutions, yet they seem to lack what I am about to hark on about.
The Relations range has what I like to think, everything that one needs for the current climate in the modern office environment. With high quality German engineering, clean lines and some great modern finishes, the Relations range is a pleasure to see and sit at. But there’s more, much more… Sedus Stoll have added some normal attributes often found in the workspace which are usually purchased separately from other manufacturer’s and bolted on. What I mean here, is the norm – CPU holders, cable management, media boxes, sliding tops for cable access, height adjustable desktops, screens, toolbar rails, modesty panels and storage to match. But it doesn’t stop there! They have also added printer shelves, CD storage, castor’s, mobile drawing boards, drink and catering caddies, quirky clip on “Grasshopper” picture and post it notes holders, flexible high and low mobile storage so you can wheel your work around the office and use the top as reference or a laptop perch for quick presentations. More, OK; folding mobile conference / training tables, rounded edges on the desktops, height adjustable meeting tables, team tables and some beautiful sliding door storage. What more could you want? Oh yeah, an extremely versatile range to challenge any task thrown at you in the workspace.
Ladies and gentlemen: Relations..
I thought it looked good on a football pitch too – just think of it in your office. I suppose you could add some fake grass to recreate the effect!!

Storage, mobile storage, printer shelf and the Grasshopper.
Well, there is more to show like the team table and the folding mobile conference tables, so you best hop over to our website to see more. The Relations range is available to see in the Sedus London showroom – so let me know if you wish to pay them a visit young Grasshopper!

First off – Happy New Year. Mine was a quiet one, but most enjoyable. I didn’t make any New Years resolutions as I knew I would just break them within the first week of January. But a strange thing has happened! I seem to be going to the Gym, eating better and drinking less – without really any planning. Maybe this is the way forward, no resolutions = subconscious reaction without the knowing you are breaking any of your new rules… Lets see how long this lasts then 
Any way – back to the matter in hand.. Task seating and the environment.. they will work.
The business world and environment generally do not go hand in hand. I thought I would post a little information this month (as everyone is on a New Year high) with some information about task seating with strong environmental credentials. Its a good start in the direction of helping the environment without loosing any benefits or features that you would expect from your office chair or the users comfort.
Lets see the eco•start™ chair from Connection seating.
eco•start™ is 98% recyclable by weight, making it one of the most recyclable task chairs available.
eco•start™ is designed to last longer, it is easy to reconfigure and upgrade using the unique interchangeable upholstery units.
The chair itself doesn’t lose any of the normal operations you would expect from a task chair, in fact, it comes with a synchro mechanism, forward tilt and (yes, and) seat slide as standard. Connection Seating have really come out trumps with this chair with a solid modern design (changeable by fabric options), ergonomic operations as standard, comfort and all at a really good price point.
Conclusion: If you want to start changing your office with the environment in mind, keeping a modern feel, great ergonomic features and without going over your budget threshold, then eco•start™ is the ideal solution. These are available to see, sit in and touch up in the London showroom. Contact Urban Office Interiors for more information.

So, bench desks – what are they and what is all the hype about?
Many offices and studios opt for bench desking these days not only for what they offer, but because they are nice to look at. What’s nice to look at, is nice to be around, which is a bonus in today’s office environment. A large portion of our lives are spent in the workplace, so why not enjoy work with furniture designed to make work easier and feel right.
Bench desks are clusters of desks that use shared components as support. They are usually setup back to back, from two desks up to, well, however long your office is. Sounds boring doesn’t it? Well, many are – but not ours. But add a touch of flair, cleverly designed aspects and you end up with an office masterpiece. What if you could have all the wires for your I.T. hidden, yet easily accessible. What if you could have your monitor raised off of the desktop allowing you to use the additional desk space for paperwork, or a design layout. What if you didn’t have to have your opposite co-workers paperwork or pens rolling on to your desk area. No more what ifs, what bench desk!
Different:
Bench desk ranges offer different solutions for different work environments. The main design idea around the bench desk system is the flexibility and ergonomic setup of the desks. Architects and designers like to use large flat spaces for plans, designs and 3D models. This can be achieved by using un-congested desktop space, mobile return desks, end of desk extension tops and hovering flat screen monitors. Sliding desktops or flip panel cable management will enable the user to quickly remove their phone charger and laptop / computer wires from the surface to create an increased surface area for their project. Call centres, touch down areas and hot desking companies like the flexibility to create private work zones for their staff or hot desk user to work proficiently and un-hounded by other sounds. Screens and return screens help reduce travelling noise and can be setup in various configurations. Third level storage (cupboards or shelves above the screens) can be used for additional close to hand filing or reference library and reduce sound even more. These are just a few of the ideas that bench desks offer. The possibilities are now becoming endless.
Bench desking is a great way forward in today’s work environments. Designs, finishes and colours vary, so the sky is the limit.
