WORK EXPRESSION

The workplace concept is changing with time and it is inclined towards creating a need based environment. Though people still follow the age old practices of a cubicle and cabin philosophy but the work needs have made the work culture and the workplace evolve from the conventional arrangements to a modern and smarter work expression.

Work Expression, as work is a way of expressing one's skills to complete the assigned task allotted to an individual or taken by an individual over the course of his job or his lifetime. Now is the time when people are trying to create a workplace where one wishes to go, rather has to go. Where 'wish to go' conveys freedom and choice of happiness, 'has to go' conveys a forced and imposed compulsion without one's choice, but just for the sake of earning his share of a daily bread and butter.

If it is about earning a bread and butter, then why not make the place where it is earned, a place where one could feel energized and happy about coming to. A place where one could feel motivated and energized has a lot better chances to grow and prosper, as it reflects the intentions of the business owners, that they expect results and efforts from their employees, not just in lieu of the salaries they extend but for the comfort and freedom of work expression they impart to their teams.

Many a businesses face the inter department lobbies and communication gaps, the extent of which may vary from business to business but it still exists and has become a part of everyday work culture. Where creating a problem for one another is a part of a work, rather than creating a solution for every problem. It isn't a practice guided by a healthy competition but is directed towards establishing a survival strategy for one's own existence.

Days have come when the business owners prefer to have a collaborative work culture, as they know that even a silent or the most introvert employee of their camp, too must have something brilliant to suggest. It's about engaging all their workers into discussions, given a chance to express and speak up. Lessening up the gap between departments and bringing them together to contribute is what businesses are trying to do, which helps them in meeting their business goals and retaining their work force, as there are many a hidden costs and expenditures which are involved in developing the skills of each individual employee, that a business owner pays for, and nobody wants their best men to leave and work for someone else.


A workplace where an individual gets the feeling of belongingness, has more chances that he would stay there. This feeling is contributed by the conducts and behavior of the staff and the owners, but the furniture arrangement and and the furniture type too acts as an important contributor to it. As it's an element with which an individual spends the most hours of his day and so the more at ease he is with his surroundings the more are his chances to stay and be a part of that work environment. 

We at Pyrotech Workspace closely observe the ever changing needs of the work style and work preferences. We believe that furniture is not a mere non-living element of a surrounding but it adds an essence and flavor of life to the work environment.

At Pyrotech Workspace we design need based furniture and work expressions. Not every work expression is similar to the other. The furniture arrangement and the type of furniture depends on its use. Not every work expression could be confined to a typical cubical arrangement and it is not
mandatory for  managers to be seated in closed cabins. The arrangements and the furniture types have to be interactive and collaborative.

The furniture must serve the specific work style needs of an individual and the entire work environment, where a manager could not only complete his own task, but could also interact and contribute to the tasks of his team and where each of his team member is motivated to suggest.

We give shape to each work expression, studying and understanding it's level of participation and contributions, so that we could offer the best suited work environment, where individuals wish to come rather they have to come.

Need Driven Innovations


Every idea is driven by certain needs. An idea is directed towards finding the reasons for which it must be generated, being it recognizing a problem with the existing solution, knitting the incomplete and missing threads of an imperfect situation or finding new possibilities to the ever changing needs and practices of human behavior to make things better and easier.

There was a time when workplaces were limited to just a sitting arrangement within a work room, with less emphasis and concerns about the human factors which too influence the overall performance of a system. The human-machine interface and its interaction with the environment are the key factors that are now taken into consideration while designing a workplace.

The human effort considerations are now taken into account, as it influences the overall performance of a system. Gone are the days when a workplace was limited to a rigid furniture web within a specific boundary. The human needs are of more importance in the present work scenario. The human needs are the guiding force behind most of the successful furniture innovations these days.

We being into the business of control room consoles, realized that the comfort needs of an operator enhances a smooth operation within a task critical control room environment. An operator at comfort will add more efforts and will contribute to a better and enhanced system performance. 

For the same concern, we have designed a motorized Sit-to-Stand height adjustable control room console for the first time in India, which promotes healthy experience for 24X7 work style, enhancing blood circulation for better performance and maximum focus, as sitting for long hours induces health problems  and makes you body a home of diseases.

Our consoles are designed to fulfill the health needs of the operators and the overall health of system performance. It's a scientific study that says, "one must stand from their work chairs after every half an hour to avoid and control any cardiac, blood pressure and blood sugar diseases". We give a control room console onto which the operators could perform various task critical operations at different height adjustable options without any posture disorders.
