Comfort

Sustainable Commercial Interiors
A careful balance of comfort and efficiency went into the
consideration of the center’s interior design . An example
of carpet tiles selected for the CIBDR project would be
similar to that of Greenfloors Carpet™, which are made
entirely of recycled nylon and backing. The types of
chairs that may be used could include Rohde & Grahl’s ™
ergonomic swivel and visitor chairs. These chairs have
been proven to release the pressure of the back column
up to 50% more than standard backrests. The objective
is simply to generate fit and healthier users, enabling a
more productive workplace.
