Fellowes experts impart knowledge at Orgatec 2018

With furniture and ergonomics at the height of focus at this year’s Orgatec, experts at Fellowes share their views.

The Orgatec exhibition took place at the end of October 2018. Therefore, as Fellowes has recently branched into the furniture and workspace wellbeing arena, Orgatec was well-timed for the brand. Fellowes’ Louise Shipley, said: “We listened carefully to the needs of people who want to work in a healthy way at their desks. We developed our designs around them. We did this because we wanted to ensure our healthy working solutions are distinctive for all the right reasons.”

Fellowes’ research shows there is a high occurrence of workspace-related discomfort. This is preventable by using the correct equipment and posture. However, it is common for people to adopt more ergonomic ways of working only after a problem comes to light. Fellowes’ approach is to deliver complete solutions that work proactively to reduce discomfort, thereby helping people be the best they can be.

James Webb, Director, Fellowes Brands, said: “Fellowes Brands is a global leader of workspace ergonomic solutions. Because it has a history of creating innovative workspace solutions for over 100 years, we understand how better health and wellbeing is a way of life. As a leader in ergonomic workspace solutions, therefore, designing healthy working furniture was a natural step of evolution for Fellowes.”
