The demands of commercial interiors have evolved radically in recent years and as a result, approaches to office design have had to adapt, modernise, and cater for hybrid and dispersed teams. We stay at the forefront of these innovations, to provide organisations with transformative office interior solutions in Manchester, Liverpool and across the North-West.
Technology has transformed how we work. Many organisations are moving away from traditional business and office models, embracing change and reinvigorating working practices with smart office solutions. Penketh Interiors partners with leading brands to bring you the most innovative workplace technology advancements, helping your office collaborate, create, share information quickly and achieve your goals.
Ergonomic furniture is designed to support the natural movement and functionality of our bodies, so that pain and discomfort is reduced. The human posture is correctly supporting a full range of movement when the spine is sustained in an S shape, however, furniture that provides limited mobility and doesn’t encourage regular movement can often create a C shape curve in our spine which puts excess pressure on the neck, joints and hips.
Ergonomic seating
We all recognise that sitting for long periods in a fixed position is bad for our health, poor posture, limited blood flow and excess pressure on our spine and joints can all lead to persistent pain, obesity, and arthritis. Incorporating ergonomic seating into the office as part of a refurbishment project, can support users with a wide range of movement, improve comfort and limit lost time because of pain.
Reduces the stress placed on the spine, neck muscles and joints which is particularly common in those who sit for long periods of time
Lumbar support reduces the physical strain on the inward curve at the bottom of the back
Adjustable seat depth, arm height and flexible weight activated back resistance, accommodate a range of users, varying in weight and size, making it a more inclusive seating choice

Ergonomic furniture
Over the course of a decade, the way we work has fundamentally changed. Driven by advancements in technology and a shift to hybrid working environments, it’s now common to see people working outside of the traditional desk and chair set up. A study by Steelcase discovered that 45% of workers typically use three devices to work each day, and with the typical desk not accommodating this style of work, it’s easy to see the benefits that come from adding a more varied range of ergonomic furniture.
Comfortable workers are more productive and have greater levels of engagement
As technology becomes more portable, so does the need for furniture that supports a greater range of movement
Regular movement and posture changes improve blood flow and reduce the chances of persistent pain

Ergonomic desks
Ergonomic office desks put user wellbeing at the core of its functionality and design. People who can get up, change posture, and move freely around their workspace have improved physical and mental health. Research by The Centre for Disease Control found that 35% of people who regularly sit for 8 hours or more a day are likely to develop a musculoskeletal disorder, with this alarming information, its clear to see why so many organisations are adding height adjustable desks to their spaces.
Regular movement aids concentration, which in turn drives productivity
With improved health there is less chance of absenteeism through sickness
Height adjustable desks are not just for encouraging standing, they are also more inclusive and accommodate users within a greater range of heights as they provide increased comfort in a seating position to support those with longer torsos
