Registrations open for Cityspace 'Workplace Freedom' seminars

Jon Steiner, Executive Director of CitySpace announced, "The Workplace Freedom seminars provide trade visitors an insight into the latest trends in the design industry from the most respected specialists in the three core areas of our working life; workplace best practice, workplace design and ergonomics. We are delighted by the response we have had from interested participants."

The seminars play an important role in creating awareness of the benefits in providing a motivating and productive working environment conducive to knowledge sharing, communication, and innovation to the workforce.

"A well-designed workplace enhances a company's image by reinforcing its corporate identity and brings a positive impact to the way people collaborate and work. The office should therefore be designed around human interaction, creative freedom and physical comfort as the basic provision for employees to enhance productivity," added Jon.

CitySpace plans and designs the layout of the interior office space of a building to meet the needs of the user by not only positioning the physical elements such as walls, desks and chairs strategically but also taking into account the office amenities, gadgets, IT and communication systems, sound, air and light control within a specified space. Ideas on these will be highlighted in the seminar.

Topics covered in the upcoming seminars include the work and philosophy of Charles and Ray Eames, how to create office space for innovation, how global warming could impact the way we work, corporate social responsibility, the tactile office, ergonomics, flexibility to change using the benefits of cable management flooring solutions, the impact of technology on human efficiency and intelligent storage solutions.

Speakers confirmed include specialists from Vitra, Steelcase, Herman Miller, Ahrend, Movinord, Wilkhahn, Sedus, CitySpace, In-Lite, EKA Group, Camira Fabrics, Interface FLOR, Creative Management, Colebrook Bosson Saunders and Elektrak International. The seminars are free of charge to trade professionals visiting the exhibition and will cover a comprehensive range of topics during the exhibition from 2pm through to 6pm.
