Founding Vital-Office GmbH as development and planning Design Company.Introducing the Vital-Office concept as advanced ergonomic concept in office planning.Based on research and many years of experience in planning offices, this concept bridges the gap between the architectural build environment, ergonomics and office performance. Taking into consideration all ergonomic aspects like anthropometry, psychology, physiology, sociology and business organization this concept leads to a win/win situation between personal and corporation’s needs. Design of products is not a matter of like or dislike, but a matter of the overall question “What for?” Looking into details, based on scientific knowledge on above mentioned subjects, this leads to a variety of products, all developed to fit into an overall defined concept. The first task to do is to define this concept in detail with the customer, in order to achieve sustainable long time high performance in his offices. The finally selected group of suitable products include little detail features, which in a subtle unconscious way, influence people’s behaviors and performance. Thinking of an office, just as a row of desks and cabinets will definitely miss all performance features and lead to cheap mostly inflexible stuff because it is selected through the standard buying system. Like a modern car still has 4 wheels and a motor, it is a difference in performance and comfort between a modern and a vintage car. In office design, the difference is not seen in a single product. A desk is still simply a top and a base, like a car’s wheel. The difference is in the planning concept and the arrangements of products, which fit together.I had many talks and seminars throughout these years lecturing about this concept.The many talks finally where put together in a book and published in various book publications.
