Ensimmäistä kertaa historiassa neljä sukupolvea on samaan aikaan työelämässä. Tämä tulee todennäköisesti vaikuttamaan työympäristöihimme, m***a ehkei aivan kuten ajattelemme. Kinnarps Oy halusi tutkia asiaa ja julkaisi Ruosissa tehdyn kyselytutkimuksen tulokset viime keväänä. Vastauksista kävi ilmi mm. se, että nuoremmat ikäluokat arvostavat ergonomisen työympäristön ja hyvinvoinnin yhtä korkealle kuin palkan.

ID Helsingissä Kinnarps esittelee mm. uuden Fields-kalusteperheen, joka tukee mobiilia työskentelytapaa monipaikkaisessa työympäristössä. Sarja on muotoiltu yhteistyössä Propeller Design suunnittelijan Olle Gyllandin kanssa.

Lådcykel med eldrift blev favoritfordon när tre familjer i Stockholm provade att leva utan bil i ett år. Att röra på sig var en oväntat stor bonus, dåliga cykelvägar ett stort minus. – Det har gått...
