The meeting rooms of the future are flexible

We all know the traditional meeting room with a big wooden table in the middle with chairs around the table and a projector showing a big screen on the end wall.

In recent years, the traditional meeting room has been challenged by new and different meeting rooms that cater more for creativity and different ways of holding meetings.

We at BeneSit find that the BeneSit chair is used in meeting rooms and in open office landscapes.

As this chair is actually developed to counteract back pain due to sedentary work, customers have been asked why they use it in meeting rooms and open office spaces.

The reason is that the chair is super lightweight and has a handle that makes it intuitive and simple to move from room to room, so it can be used as an extra chair (if there are many people at a meeting) or as seating (when there is an informal or unscheduled meeting).

“We hear that the chair is used in creative spaces because the design is alternative and the rounded base makes it fun to sit on and “opens up” creative thoughts and an open, playful mind,” says Peter Kragh, co-founder of BeneSit ApS.

The company “Sessions” is a meeting room expert and have produced this article on the flexible meeting room of the future (in Danish).

Guide on how to choose the chair height

Benesit chair heights

We often get questions about how to choose the right BeneSit chair height. That’s why we’ve developed the guide below.

💡We always recommend that you choose the chair height based on your own height – so that you achieve a straight posture with your thighs at a downward angle. The picture shows which BeneSit chair is generally suitable for which height.

💡Sometimes it will also be necessary to adapt your choice of chair height to the table at which you will be sitting (if you do not have a height-adjustable table, for example). The picture shows our general recommendations for which BeneSit chair is suitable for which type of table.

Feel free to write to us if you want guidance on your specific situation!

REMEMBER that we offer a free exchange to another chair height on standard chairs if you change your mind.

Just send us an email within 14 days of receipt of the chair requesting an exchange for another size and the chair must appear new (like trying on a pair of shoes in a shoe store).

We hope that you are now clearer about which BeneSit chair is right for you. Click on our webshop and order your chair now!

A little physical activity makes a difference

Denmark is the country in Europe where we sit down the most hours a day. In the long term, this can increase the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

It may seem overwhelming to minimise sedentary work in an office.

But experts* say that just a little activity can reduce the negative effects of sitting inactively for long periods.

With our back-stimulating chair, we strive to reconcile the two needs; sitting down to work and keeping your body active. Read more on our back pain page.

Interaction of materials

What makes a product design fantastic?

The answer to this question can of course vary depending on who you ask.

In BeneSit, we’ve come to the conclusion that it’s very much about the materials. Their surfaces. Their tactility. Their interaction.

The BeneSit chair combines fabric, leather and metal, with a cork base. These different materials contrast with each other and create an interesting expression despite the chair’s simplicity.

We love working with the different materials – the feel of the fabric between the hands and the smell of the leather.
