Furniture: A Key Medium for Fulfilling Health Concepts

The WELL certification encompasses ten health concepts: Air, Water, Nourishment, Light, Movement, Thermal Comfort, Sound, Materials, Mind, and Community. As furniture is the most vital medium within an architectural space, AURORA Furniture focuses on professional planning—such as adjustable desks and height-adjustable tables—to help employees work in an environment that satisfies WELL requirements.
 

Office design should prioritize employee physical and mental well-being, using healthy furniture planning as a key benchmark.

WELL certification sets high standards for "Comfort," requiring ergonomic office furniture to reduce the risk of physical strain:

‧ Height-Adjustable Desks： WELL mandates that at least 25% of workstations provide height-adjustable desks, such as the UP! series, allowing employees to balance sitting and standing during work.)

‧ Office Chairs： The standard requires high-flexibility chairs, like the Daywalker, for all employees. These must offer adjustable height, depth, armrests, and backrest angles to provide lumbar support and relieve sedentary discomfort.

‧ Public Areas：Comfortable sofa sets are recommended for lounge areas to help employees relax and spark creativity, fulfilling the "Comfort" and "Mind" requirements of WELL.
 

Material Safety: A Core Indicator for WELL Certification

WELL certification places immense value on the relationship between Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and health, enforcing strict regulations on furniture materials:

‧ Low VOC Emissions：Products passing VOC emission tests are recommended. AURORA’s entire desk series utilizes E1-grade (low formaldehyde) and V313 (moisture-resistant) boards that comply with government regulations.

‧ Chemical Transparency： WELL reduces hazards to people and the environment through material ingredient screening, emission limits, and transparency tools.
