DIRTT’s Answer to Folding Walls Posted on April 22, 2021March 18, 2022 DIRTT’s Leaf Folding Wall lets you adapt your space on the fly. At first look, Leaf looks and functions just like any other DIRTT wall. It’s tailored to perfectly fit within your space, integrate and adapt to your technology needs, and look good while doing it! While a traditional accordion wall does its job separating spaces, it’s not exactly winning any beauty contests. But when Leaf is in its closed position, you’d never know you were looking at a folding wall, and that’s exactly the point. Businesses are fluid, and the needs of tomorrow can look much different than they do today. Leaf isn’t just an accessory; it turns your space into a powerful tool. Think of it like a swiss army knife: no matter the situation, Leaf is going to be able to help you adapt. The only thing that’s certain, is change. Leaf walls were designed to help embrace change and make the most out of it. Leaf looks just like any other DIRTT wall because it is any other DIRTT wall. Leaf is built using typical DIRTT wall frames and panels. This means you can repurpose existing walls using a simple kit that converts a solid wall into a Leaf wall. All you need to add is a structural support system, which DIRTT can help design and install. When designing the Leaf system, our Product Development team knew it had to hold true to DIRTT’s DNA of building adaptive environments. It needed to be non-generational, just like all of DIRTT’s solutions. It needed to be more than just a space divider. It had to liberate and elevate the entire space that surrounds it. Leaf was first launched in the spring of 2017. It took our skunkworks team nearly a year to develop Leaf, and we think it was worth every second. Soon, Leaf will have the ability to integrate power, technology and accessories. This means your Leaf wall will become an even more functional part of your space and be impervious to changes down the road, just like any other DIRTT wall.

How your workspace can help you reach healthier goals Posted on July 3, 2020December 16, 2020 BSI and Herman Miller are supporting your goals to be healthier and more active. On average Americans work 34.4 hours a week and most of this time is spent at a desk. Excessive sitting has been linked with cancer, heart disease and diabetes and even depression. Here are our top three workplace furnishings that support healthy goals. Ergonomic Task Chair Ergonomic seating solutions, like the Herman Miller Aeron chair, can increase productivity by properly supporting the back and encouraging healthy posture. Prolonged sitting or not using the proper task chair, can cause physical issues like fatigue, spinal disc compression, and general discomfort. Simply improving your task chair can result in happier, healthier employees – and potential savings due to a decrease in work-related musculoskeletal disorders. A combination of sitting, standing, and moving over the course of the workday—and not too much of any one activity—is the best approach to managing the balance between postural risk and physical comfort. Height Adjustable Tables and Worksurfaces In addition to its line-up of performance work chairs, Herman Miller offers a selection of tables and workstations that provide postural options through fast, easy height adjustability. At the push of the button, easily move from a seated position to a standing position allowing better blood flow and circulation. Smart Furnishings New to Herman Miller is the ‘Fitbit for your desk’ Live OS app. By pairing the app with any connected desk, users can set preferences for sitting and standing and move comfortably between the two throughout the day. The app will send reminders when it’s time to change postures and gradually helps individuals achieve activity goals. Today’s workplaces are healthier than ever.
