Over the last few decades, workspaces have undergone significant changes especially regarding how people work together and how companies position themselves.

Our own R&D Lab started thinking about this kind of issues, researching on the topics of creativity and productivity in workspaces. Despite the technological evolution, an office chair hasn't evolved for more than 100 years in terms of its core functionality.

Based on our 10 year experience in designing immersive multimedia interactive spaces and creating minimalistic UX/UI, we approached this theme and launched our own R&D project to research, design and deploy interactive technological furniture for office spaces that through the combined use of sensors and actuators can increase the productivity and creativity levels of its users, as well as their physical and mental well-being.

Our team included HCI researchers, software engineers, designers, industrial product designers, psychologists and architects.

A prototype has been fully built and deployed, and has been quite praised by users and investors.

This R&D project also translated in more than 7 scientific papers published in top international conferences, 1European-level patent, 2 utility models and design registration.

The product has been licensed to architecture firms in SouthEast Asia and Caribbean which develop projects in Hotels & Spas.
