Quadro Oasis
Oasis - a place with elements of nature
A place to recharge, inspire and meet people - both the ones you interact with daily as well as people from other departments within the office.
Quadro Oasis creates a pleasant atmosphere staging a relaxed environment optimal for socialising and increasing the probability for chance encounters.
Interaction and knowledge sharing
Collaboration Done Well
The Quadro storage line is extended to meet the current and future needs within the office by focusing on knowledge sharing and interaction within the work environment, which is found to be a central factor beneficial for a wide range of offices.
Interaction and knowledge sharing is increasingly seen as a valuable and important function within the office. Multiple sources tell that it is actually the main reason for implementing new office design. Knowledge sharing can occur through both direct and indirect interaction.
Indirect interaction happens when conversations are overheard or when parts of a work process is visible within the office. Indirect interaction can aid both personal and organisational learning.
Direct interaction happens when colleagues interact face to face. Sharing knowledge and getting involved in professional discussions can increase both personal as well as organisational productivity.
INSTALLATION
Installation of Oasis is carried out by the wholesaler. It is simple, using the adjustable system known from the storage system. Frames can be aligned or hung offset depending on the desired look.
USE
Daily, weekly or whenever needed employees can reconfigure the wall to accommodate needs and use. A subtle handle signals which panels are movable.
A company representative has the possibility to change or move all panels in case of new or changing needs within the office.

SCENARIO
FRENO
Truck brake disc replacement
HEAVY OCCUPATIONAL LABOR
Corporate Product Development - B2B project
Freno is a B2B project made in cooperation with Stiholt A/S in Aalborg. The project theme was integrated design.
Freno helps ease the mechanic’s back, shoulders and knees, when they are working on changing the brake discs on their huge trucks.
PROBLEM
When changing brake discs, the mechanics is required to work in inappropriate working positions/postures. These postures involve, among other things, heavy lifting, where the mechanics stand with bent back.
SCENARIO
BOSI
POSTURAL REHABILITATION
FOR STROKE PATIENT'S
STROKE REHABILITATION
Mobility & Perception Training
BOSI consist of a vest and an application. The BOSI-vest measures and monitors irregular shoulder position, forward-bent back and activity detection of an paretic arm.
The BOSI application is designed to be used for therapist. The two main function is setup of BOSI postural-setting and informative data.
The informative data collected gives therapist an more persistent data-base of each patients rehabilitation stage.

Improved health
The increase of postural adjustment activity has a major impact on the rehabilitation process. It improves a user perception skills, which is closely related to their ability in being more independent. This increase of independence influence the training sessions, because problems during the day are less likely to occur when the users are more aware and active.
PROBLEM
Irregular posture position & Kyphotic back:
After a stroke, users who suffer from paralysis have difficulties to withhold an aligned shoulder position and to sit in an upright position, because their mobility and perception skills are affected.
Perception of their own body:
Neglect after a stroke makes a user “ignore” or even unable to perceive the existence of the paretic side.
Inactivity of the paratic side:
Both with or without neglect the user tend to use their stronger side more often, because it is just easier to use what works. However, favoring their stronger side during activities of daily living (ADL), lead them to perceive the paretic limb only as a burden, this makes it very unmotivating and harder to integrate it in ADL.
BOSI - APPLICATION
The BOSI application is designed to be used for the therapist. The two main functions are the setup of BOSI postural-settings and collecting informative data.
