Welcome to the OFAS Spring journal, showcasing another array of exciting
products and services provided by our members.
In this issue we have three additional sections covering Clerkenwell Design
Week 2016, Furniture and Office Accessories and the highly popular Sit-Stand
Desking. We hope you will find these appealing and beneficial.
We are very pleased to be media partners for Clerkenwell Design Week for the
fourth year running, supporting our members and those associated within
the furniture industry. The Gallery, Clerkenwell have kindly offered OFAS the
opportunity to base ourselves within their showroom at 21-22 Great Sutton
Street during the event. Come along and introduce yourself! It would be
great to put some of those names to faces!!
The first OFAS Monthly Gap was very effective and well received by our
readers. This additional publication has given OFAS members the opportunity
to promote their products and services at any given point throughout the
year. Being a smaller publication, the exposure of one’s advert is intensified,
providing an effective and visual communication to our target audience.
Perhaps you would like to exhibit a product in our next edition?
I wanted to reiterate regarding the circulation of our journal, as some
members believe the Journal is only targeted to the furniture industry. The
huge database that OFAS has built up over the past 29 years covers not only
the furniture industry but also end users and procurement officials of both
small and large organisations based within Education, Government, Banking,
IT and Hospitality to name but a few. So you see, it reaches every walk of life
that you could possibly wish for.
It is my pleasure to welcome two new members to OFAS, Bene and Oplan
Furniture; we very much look forward to working with you both. You can see
further details on these companies in our new members section.
I hope you enjoy this edition.
Kind regards

The future
of your furniture
depends on what you
do today!
over2
Re-Working – it’s the future!
In today’s economic climate, many companies are opting to up-cycle their existing
furniture. Many contracts have been won by Over2Hills resulting in the resizing of
desks for various companies. It has become quite apparent that it makes sense to
re-size and up-cycle office furniture at a fraction of the cost to buying new. This is
achieved by (cutting it down) reducing the foot print, re edging and providing a fresh
look at a fraction of the cost of a new product. All of Over2Hills up cycled products
come with a whole of life recycle guarantee.
Desks over the last 20 years have been manufactured wider at one end (800mm at
one end and 1200mm at the other) to a accommodate a large monitor for a computer
which was the size of a microwave oven (300mm deep), monitors now are as thick as
an I pad (30 mm deep). As space in offices is now so expensive and with the increasing
environmental sustainability awareness being an important factor in people lives,
Over2Hills Reworking service can reduce your overall footprint.
One of Over2Hills customers was planning to recruit 12 new co-workers in EC1
London and they were looking to relocate to a larger office to accommodate the
additional staff. Once they had spoken to Over2Hills, they realised by utilising their
reworking service, it would save them 26% of their existing space, allowing them to
accommodate their new staff without the need to relocate.
Similarly we have also seen a demand for re-upholstery of existing seating, recovering
customers own chairs, re foaming where necessary and completing a 10 point
check on the chair before returning it back to re-use.
So up cycling your desks and a chair provides a massive saving. Now that’s sustainable
and a sensible option!
• Increase the Life span of your furniture
• Save rental costs by utilising your current space
• Better Value Investment Ethically it is perceived better to spend public/companies
monies – rather than “splashing out” on new when cuts are being made
elsewhere
• Corporate Social Responsibility – prevent your contribution to landfill
• Green Credentials – Instead of re-manufacturing, Over2Hills are simply Re-working
or Up cycling the current items. If you are concerned about being green with
your business, that’s great, but it’s even better to up cycle. E.g. when you recycle,
this involves an industrial process of being stripped, shredded, crushed, burned,
melted and re-shaped to produce a slightly lower quality than the original. However,
if you up cycle you will have a better-than-original item that didn’t require
extensive processing…and it’s much more creative!
• Budget Friendly - Makes your budget stretch, freshen up your office image (take
the opportunity to colour change, new desk tops with the same frame/new upholstery
on seating or screens)

Top
Tips
for Ergonomics in the Office
There is significant scope for organisations to improve efficiency, health and safety and
employee satisfaction by applying ergonomics in the working environment.
Ergonomically designed
workplaces, equipment
and jobs aim to modify
the environment to meet
people’s needs. A furniture
expert explains why
ergonomics is important.
“Ergonomics is the
application of scientific
information concerning
humans to the design
of objects, systems and
environments for human
use. Ergonomics comes into
everything which involves
people. Work systems,
sports and leisure, health
and safety should all embody
ergonomics principles if well
designed.” explains Levent
Çaglar, Head of Ergonomics
at FIRA International.
Some areas to be considered in the office are:
1.Safety
• Safety is obviously the first concern – make sure products are safe, stable and fit for
purpose by only using those that comply with current British Standards.
2.Workstations
• Make sure the workstation is large enough to accommodate all the users’ needs and
equipment.
• The use of height adjustable desking is recommended so that all staff can use a desk
comfortably.
3.VDU’s and keyboards
• The optimal eye to monitor distance is 600mm, however some users may have different
preferences and distances, between 500mm and 750 mm are acceptable.
• There should be 100mm from the front edge of the workstation to the keyboard so that
users can rest their wrists.
4.Office seating
• The seat must be compatible with the workstation, especially height, so easily adjustable
seating is preferred.
5.Lighting and temperature
• Lighting and temperature can also influence a worker’s comfort and performance.
• For general office working the recommended lighting level is around 500 lux, although
walkways etc. may need higher lighting levels.
• Getting the right temperature for all workers can be a challenge; the recommended
temperature is between 19°C to 23°C, but find out what works best for the majority of
your staff and work with that.
When designing an ergonomic office remember that everybody is different,
so try to allow for personal preferences wherever possible.

KI's Work2 Sit-Stand's actuator motors can be added quickly

great solution for organisations looking to introduce sit-stand

improved business cycle.
To achieve these changes businesses must go
through each Step in order to achieve business
efficiencies and potential improvements. Then

partners, suppliers, etc.).
The results are:
• Increase the speed at which document
intensive processes are conducted and
reduce associated costs and administrative
burdens.
• Add flexibility to organisational processes,
allowing your business to scale up or down
as required by customer or internal demand.
• Help reduce capital expenditure by reducing
the need to invest in the assets required to
perform a service internally.
• Organise information and documents with
electronic document management systems
and processes, for example transition to

How psychology
can inspire
office planning
to help create
happy, healthy,
high performing
work
environments.
A better understanding of the complex relationship between
personality types and the working environment can enhance
wellbeing and productivity through better office planning. The
impact our workplaces have on wellbeing and productivity is a
vital consideration influencing today’s office planning strategies.
Organisations are moving away from pure open plan offices,
increasingly investing in a more ‘humanised’ work environment
featuring breakout spaces, informal meeting areas, quiet zones,
private meeting rooms and hot desking facilities.
Workplace furniture manufacturers KI Europe collaborated with
business psychologists OPP to find out more about the relationship
between personality types and the environments in which we work,
and whether this had an impact on our productivity and sense of
wellbeing. Using the MBTI® – the worlds most popular and wellknown
personality assessment, OPP looked into the links between
26 www.ofas.org.uk SPRING 2016

personality type and office conditions, exploring type differences for
issues such as:
• Preferred or ideal working environment
• Satisfaction and happiness at work and how this is affected by
the work environment
• Personalisation of the work area
• Likes and dislikes within the work environment
Types in the workplace
One of the exercises often used to help extraverts and introverts
understand each other better, goes like this: Separate a group into
extraverts and introverts and ask each to draw their ideal office
environment. Comparing the results will typically show a quite
clear difference between the priorities and preferences of the two
groups. In the past, a number of links have been made between
personality type and the working environment. For example, ‘The
Negotiable Environment’ (Williams, Armstrong, & Malcolm, 1985)
discussed office layout and allied factors in MBTI terms, and the
‘Environmental Personality Type Assessment’ attempted to ‘type’
the workplace (Salter, 1995). More recently, concerns have been
raised about the impact of the modern office environment on
introverts in particular (Cain, 2012). Open plan offices have become
the norm, and desk sharing, hot desking and similar arrangements
are becoming commonplace. As our research shows, such
environments may inhibit wellbeing for some personality types.
“HR often focuses on raising employee engagement through means
they have a direct influence over – training, management structures,
salaries, benefit packages. However, the physical environment
itself can have a dramatic impact on the average employee’s
day. Proximity of breakout and dining facilities, rooms to have
confidential meetings or make sensitive phone calls, appropriate
storage for personal or job-related materials, adjacency to amenities
– these are just a few examples of elements of the physical
environment that can help improve the worker experience.
But these are seen as the domain
of the Facilities Manager –
whether in terms of workplace
design, furniture procurement,
or expenditure. HR invariably
hold a wealth of knowledge that
could help Facilities Management
make better decisions regarding
the working environment, and
could do even more to gather and
interpret data from employees.
In addition to direct feedback
through regular surveys, HR
could also use psychology and
psychometric tests such as the
Myers Briggs Type Indicator
(which they may already use
for other purposes), to better
understand the diverse needs
of their teams in terms of their
workspace. It goes without
saying that one size doesn’t fit
all, that one person’s ideal work
environment might be another’s
worst nightmare. A better
understanding of who needs
what, from a psychometric and
practical perspective, can help
HR and Facilities Management
to work together to get the
mix right. This type of internal
communication is essential to
enrich the organisation as a
whole, rather than data being
held in silos. In addition to
gathering data through surveys,
simple motion sensors can be
fitted to monitor the actual, rather
than perceived usefulness of
space and furniture – helping to
measure the overall effectiveness
of an evolving workplace
strategy.”
There is a near equal frequency
of introverts to extraverts in a
typical population. The statistics
from the survey are based
on OPP’s own data of the UK
population. This split remains
closely balanced when comparing
exclusively male or female
samples. Accommodating the
needs of introverts within an
office landscape does therefore
have the potential to benefit a
vast proportion of the workforce.

Create
A Truly
Distinguished
Look
Whether you’re looking to
furnish an ultra-modern
or a period building,
many organisations use
their office, reception
and boardroom furniture
as their showcases to
clients and suppliers. Such
furniture should not only
have the wow factor, but
should also be sympathetic
to its surroundings, whilst
maintaining maximum
functionality.
Create a truly distinguished look for your organisation,
whether your furniture is contemporary or traditional in
design, by introducing and combining stylish, modern
materials such as stained glass, marble and metals as
alternative elements to create beautiful contrasts with
traditional natural wood veneers.
Alternatively, you can create beautiful furniture with just
the use of natural wood veneers. Combine species of
natural wood veneers to create decorative cross banding,
for example clear coated Vavona veneer cross banded with
Cherry complement each other beautifully.
For a truly unique piece of
furniture for your organisation,
why not incorporate your
company logo onto your office
furniture, using stylish modern
materials or even traditional,
decorative natural wood
marquetry.
Editorial kindly provided by Kerry
Maher of LE-AL Furniture Ltd.
Don’t want to combine veneer species on your furniture?
Try selecting different veneer cuts to create a unique pattern
effect or a decorative inlay on your furniture, for example
a crown veneer partnered with a quarter cut veneer of the
same species.
