COMPACT WORKING – THE GLOBE CONCEPT
New technology has enabled us to be freer and less
dependent on traditional office workplaces. Distance
working is more and more common; our meetings are
increasingly virtual; fixed workstations are replaced by
hot-desking; and large, expensive conference rooms
are replaced by small, technology-packed cubbyholes.
New times also require a new way of thinking with
regard to office furniture. The GLOBE range is based
around a modern, mobile and active workplace:
• The higher seating position ensures a better outlook,
better reach and better ergonomics.
• The rounded seat and back makes sitting more
dynamic and active.
• The shape and flexibility of the ball-shaped back
supports the upper body and the arms at various
angles.
• The ball-shaped footrest provides an even greater
variety of sitting positions.
• With “roll-on, roll-off ergonomics” that suit most
people, without the need for time-consuming,
complex adjustments.
The Globe Concept was developed by the Norwegian
designer Peter Opsvik, renowned for the classic high
chair Tripp Trapp, the office chair Capisco and the
revolutionary Balans concept. Together with its
cooperative partner Moment AB, the Opsvik company
has developed an entirely new concept for the modern
and flexible workplace. The Globe Concept was created
to inspire curiosity and make sitting active – in both
public spaces and offices.

GLOBE ”TREE” is the “all inclusive” option. With its two back
balls, rounded seat and two flexible tabletops, as well as the foot
rest, it offers a complete and “super-ergonomic” workstation in
a compact format. There is plenty of space for a laptop or tablet
PC, mobile phone and coffee cup. ”Globe Tree” is the new laptop
workplace which addresses the consequences of the changes that
information technology has made on the way in which we work.
The design fits most users without the need for tedious and
complicated adjustments. You decide where you want the tables –
as a work surface for your laptop and a sideboard for your mobile
phone and coffee cup, or to just support your arm while you think.

GLOBE TWO based on the height of its sitting position and foot
support, provides the body with freedom of movement and
energy. The increased seating height and ball footrest provide
maximum support for the back and shoulders. The GLOBE TWO
serves as an excellent conference chair for conducting efficient
meetings around a slightly higher conference table. (The
recommended table height is approx. 90 cm.)
The Globe Two also serves as a special waiting room chair; it
is easy to sit on, it feels good when sitting slightly higher up and
one can quickly get up from it. The ergonomic design suits most
people, thereby eliminating time-consuming chair adjustments.

GLOBE ONE is a stool, perfect in waiting room area or in areas
where freedom of movement of the upper body is essential.
In spite of its lack of a back ball, GLOBE ONE encourages an
active and and upright sitting, which is reminiscent of a rider
on horseback. The rounded seat forces the pelvis forward and
increases the use of the body’s largest muscle group – the
gluteal muscles.
In this way, there is less pressure on the back, shoulders and
neck. The small supporting ball creates an extra level for the foot
and thus increases mobility even further. GLOBE ONE is the
perfect meeting chair, as it takes up a minimal amount of space.
