Fancy seats

FANCY a glimpse at the workplace of the future?

Belfast-based Alpha Group will showcase a range of furniture designed to maximise productivity when it launches its office on Glasgow’s West Regent Street tonight.

Alpha Scotland, whose experts are described as workspace engineers, will show guests a bench that enables you to stand or sit, a pod for privacy and a seat which filters out background noise.

The company moved into the Scottish market with the acquisition of Glasgow’s Steelcase in April.

Alpha Scotland director Nick Lyons said: “One of the huge challenges we face today is getting the job done in a world where constant distractions and interruptions have become the norm.

“Presenteeism is more than just turning up. By designing offices in a way to aid concentration and comfort as well as social interaction, results are going to follow.”
