The Guide To Office Chairs And Seating
How to choose the right office chair for your workplace?
When choosing which office chairs are right for your business, whether you are looking for a chair that matches your executive office desk, office workstation, stand sit desk, etc. It’s vital to think about several things: employee needs, desk and table design, and budget.
Why the right office chair matters
What is the “right” office chair? It’s a tough question—with so many office chairs on the market, it can seem impossible to find chairs that will suit the needs of all of your employees.
After all, giving your employees uncomfortable chairs to sit in for 8+ hours can be disastrous for their wellbeing. It can be painful, distracting and downright unpleasant. And with poor employee wellbeing comes lower productivity, making it crucial to find office chairs to suit your entire staff.
Sound like a big task? That’s why we’re here. Werken strives to provide our customers with office chairs that are safe and durable. No matter the price point, we make sure our entire range is well-designed and comfortable, so you know you’re providing your employees with the best chairs possible.

Productivity and Comfort
We’ve all heard that sitting is the new smoking. But, it’s, unfortunately, an unavoidable part of office work. Unless you use a standing desk, you are likely to spend much of your working week sitting down. So, ensuring your chair supports your body while serving its functional purpose is crucial.
While our chairs vary in ergonomic support, even our basic mesh chairs are designed to support the back and arms for a comfortable workday. We take employee health seriously because we know how important it is to our customers.
So, if you’re trying to cater to all of your employees, how do you decide which chairs will keep them comfortable and happy?

Employee needs
Let’s face it—you have to look after your employees. An important way to do that? Providing chairs that suit their needs. Before purchasing chairs, have a think about what the needs of your unique employees are. For example, it might be that you have an older workforce that needs plenty of ergonomic support in their office chairs. In that case, you might choose from our heavy-duty and back care range.
Alternatively, maybe your workplace employs a flexible desking technique, where employees change desks daily or weekly. In that case, the chairs you choose might need to be flexible, lightweight and supportive. Our mesh chairs are a great option for those kinds of workplaces.
So, when choosing your chairs, brainstorm what you need to provide for your employees: flexibility, back support, or something else? Discovering what the needs of your employees allow you to refine the selection of chairs and find the right one.

Desk and Office Design
When choosing your office chairs, you need to think about whether they will physically fit with your office desks, as well as in the layout of your office (crammed spaces are not a fun time for employees). This means taking into consideration the size and shape of the chairs, so they fit comfortably with the desks and office space.
A mismatched office fit out not only makes the office less attractive to employees, but it doesn’t look good for clients, either. So, take into account the overall design of your office before purchasing your chairs. This relates to chair size, colour, and fabric.
-
Budget
You might want to give all of your employees ergonomically designed, heavy-duty chairs that provide lots of back support. But, a limited budget can sometimes mean a limited selection of chairs.
That’s why at Werken we provide a range of chairs for a variety of budgets—all of them designed with worker wellbeing in mind. So, even if you go for more affordable options, you’ll still get a high quality, great-looking office chair.

The chairs employees won’t always be sitting in
Aside from the office chairs that employees inhabit for most of the day, there are other chairs all throughout the workplace that need to be considered. We’re talking about lounge chairs tub chairs, meeting booths cafe chairs and ottomans—the comfortable chairs that are used in break rooms, cafes and waiting room. These chairs play a very different, but crucial role in the office space.
Reception chairs should be comfortable and impressive to clients. They need to be spacious enough to fit plenty of people when you’re having a busy day. Our ottomans and tub chairs are comfortable options for receptions that are roomy and look great in receptions.
And when it comes to lunch chairs and break out rooms? You want plenty of space to cater for all of your employees, as well as a comfortable seat for them to enjoy while having a break. Our range of cafe chairs, stools and lounges are perfect for these purposes.
