Caty, a new work stool

Caty, a new work stool, has arrived and is ready to perfectly fit into a multitude of work environments.

Like every Grendene work stool, it can be adapted to the customer’s needs. For example, you can choose whether to buy it with castors or glides, with fixed armrests or without armrests, with nylon base or aluminum base.

Now let’s take a look at its shapes for a moment. Seat and backrest are anatomical and have a hexagonal and enveloping shape, which differentiates it, in terms of design, from all the other Grendene stools. The backrest is also equipped with a practical handle that allows it to be moved.

The height adjustment is by gas-spring and, as usual, takes place thanks to the lever under the seat; only in the case of Caty model, this lever is smaller and less bulky, even at sight.

The adjustable aluminum footrest, which you can see here in the Caty 80 polyurethane swivel stool version, offers further reinforcement to the structure and gives support to the user when the feet cannot touch the ground.

Caty, also available in the swivel work chair version, thanks to its technical qualities and its attractive design, can easily be used in laboratories, production departments, dentist’s offices and informal offices such as, for example, the brand-new home offices.

All this is possible thanks to its wide range of finishes. In fact, it is available in 3 different versions: in polyurethane, in polypropylene or with padded seat and polypropylene backrest.

Finishes

So how to choose the model that best suits your needs?

To make this choice, you must first ask yourself what the intended environment of the work stool is and whether chemicals or processes that can damage it are handled in this environment, as well as the expected usage times.

We will then look at what is the most advantageous finishing material in relation to the conditions set in place by the environment and the working methods.

Laboratory

Let’s take an example. In an environment such as a laboratory, where chemicals and sometimes corrosive substances are handled, the most suitable choice falls on polyurethane, which we know is a material resistant to chemicals, as well as easy to clean and disinfect.

Seat and backrest in polyurethane are available in four different colors: black, blue, red and gray.

Quick task stations

For all rapid task stations, in which the operations carried out while seated last a few minutes and are carried out by more than one person, the choice could fall on polypropylene, as it is also a very easy to clean, light and practical material.

Here too, colors available for the seat and backrest, just like polyurethane models, are: black, blue, red and gray.

Home office

If, on the other hand, the time of use is the most important factor, a stool with an unupholstered seat can become uncomfortable and even cause pain if it is used for prolonged periods. A very simple example is that of those who use the stool or the work chair in front of computerized workstations.

Here the optimal choice falls on the version with the padded seat, as it is much more comfortable. If used in an environment such as, for example, a home office, the seat upholstery can also be used to create a chromatic contrast or harmonize with the colors of the surrounding environment.

How to create a perfect home office: 5 simple and practical tips

The new year has now arrived, and with it the new habits brought about by the pandemic. Among these, we remember smart-working, which has allowed most companies to be able to continue their business despite the Covid-19 emergency.

One of the positive aspects of smart-working is flexibility, thanks to it, it is possible to work remotely. We can manage our time better and transform our home into a new workplace.

In this article we want to give you 5 practical and simple tips to recreate a perfect office where you can work from home.

1. The light

First, we must decide where to place our workstation and opt for a room, a corner of our home that is as illuminated as possible; obviously the ideal would be to have natural light. As the light coming from the window gives more warmth and positivity than the artificial one. Where this is not possible, we recommend bulbs with a warm and relaxing light and avoid LEDs that have cold light and tire the eyes. After choosing the position of our workstation, let’s move on choosing the furniture that must be comfortable and functional.

2. The desk

As for the desk on the market, there are different models, materials, shapes and styles, it is up to us to choose according to our tastes and habits following 3 criteria: material, size, shape.

Regarding the materials, there are usually two options: for a simpler furniture we can choose between the different varieties of wood while if you want a refined furniture we will opt for glass which can be of two types: transparent or satin.

The size and width of the top are important as well, while the shape of the desk can usually be rectangular or sinuous. Additional drawers can also be added to the desk to ensure greater order.

3. A natural environment

It is also important to recreate a natural environment, many psychological researches in fact sustain that being in contact with nature improves our mood.

So the colors we choose also play an important role. We advise you to surround yourself with green and blue, two colors that convey harmony, well-being and therefore have a positive effect on productivity.

Our suggestion is to color the walls blue and to equip yourself with plants that, in addition to coloring the room with green, give a sense of calm and perfume. Some plants such as sanseveria have even the ability to counteract radiation from electronic equipment.

4. Order and cleanliness

Fourth suggestion: in order not to waste time it is essential to keep our workstation tidy and clean; an orderly space has the power to keep our mind focused on achieving goals. Therefore equip yourself with containers, drawers and cases to store all the work tools.

5. The chair

The choice of the chair that must be ergonomic is fundamental. It allows you to maintain correct posture and also helps those who work from home to safeguard their health.

On the market there are various models that differ in color, shape and accessories.

The essential characteristics of a chair are:

the castors used to move quickly in all directions.

the armrests which are useful for supporting the arms and avoid column fatigue.

the ergonomic backrest always useful to maintain a correct posture.

We recommend, especially if the chair is used by several different people, to use a breathable material that can be removable and washable.

As for the material of the chair structure and the base, it must be a resistant material with high mechanical performance, such as technical plastic or aluminum, to ensure maximum strength and durability.
