Haworth and wholesome workspace design | Information | Architonic

What kind of impact do our surroundings have on our behaviour, and additionally, how do we react in return? These questions lie at the heart of Environmental Psychology, a research field that studies the transactions between individuals and their socio-physical environments and attempts to identify how we can anticipate a future with healthier and more sustainable environments.

At Haworth, one of the world’s largest office furniture manufacturers, these types of studies are consistently conducted and given serious thought, in the quest to design spaces that have a positive impact on the quality of our work and life. The researchers in the Ideation team – an internal think tank consisting of workplace scientists, designers, ergonomists and analysts – inform the R&D teams who design functional and aesthetic furnishing solutions that meet people’s needs for well-being, but also performance and productivity.
