People-oriented is a necessary characteristic of office furniture

2025-09-30

People-oriented design is often referred to as humanization. In the office furniture industry, it can also be referred to as serving people, meaning that office furniture provides convenience to users in every way. As a daily tool for office work, the importance of office furniture to people is self-evident. Work efficiency, physical comfort, and fatigue time are all related to whether office furniture has a human-centered design. Humanized design that is more tailored to and serves people can bring many benefits to daily work. Human-centered office furniture generally possesses the following characteristics.

Feature 1: Consideration for safe use

If office furniture, a tool used daily, is accidentally scratched or bumped, it's likely due to a lack of careful consideration during design. For example, edge banding at the corners of desks is designed to prevent friction and scratches while working. Some office furniture is entirely made of plastic, without any metal, also to minimize potential damage from collisions.

Feature 2: Ergonomic design

This is a key manifestation of humanized design, an essential process in modern industry, particularly in products like office furniture, where ergonomics is most widely applied. Almost every type of office furniture incorporates ergonomics. This design approach primarily involves designing the form of office furniture to provide convenience in various aspects, such as smooth movement of limbs, comfortable working posture, and easy access to functions. These are all influenced by the design of the external structure and are closely related to comfort and efficiency.

Feature 3: Healthy and environmentally friendly quality

While this doesn't fall under the purview of design, it is one of the criteria for whether modern office furniture is user-friendly. Since it serves people, it must not only provide various functions but also ensure that it does not affect human health. Most office furniture on the market currently carries the potential for formaldehyde pollution, which certainly cannot be considered office furniture designed for people. Even the best design, once pollution is involved, humanization is no longer a consideration. Therefore, healthy and environmentally friendly quality, free of harmful substances that could harm the human body, is one of the characteristics of a people-oriented design.

Feature 4: Rationality of style and tone

People's visual perception of office furniture color and the tonal composition of the entire space are all determined by the rationality of office furniture color design. Whether it can bring people psychological relaxation and pleasure is related to their mental state while working. Therefore, color design should be people-oriented to achieve the effect of optimizing space and improving people's mood.

Summary: People-oriented office furniture requires a comprehensive design and quality assurance. Usually, in order to achieve a more suitable use effect, it is best to choose customized office furniture to meet more practical use needs.
