Webinar: Nature in the Workplace
April 24th @ 12PM (PDT)
How can we learn and benefit from nature when creating the manmade? Biophilic design is loosely defined as the science proving how humans are healthier, more productive, more creative and learn faster when in the presence of nature (plants, water, sunlight, fresh air, natural patterns and natural materials). This presentation will familiarize attendees with the topic and science behind it, provide the sources of data to prove claims, as well as provide the knowledge to analyze the economic potential of their own workplaces or learning environments.
​
Join us and reimagine your surroundings for better results! Learn to transform your workspace into a thriving ecosystem, and discover the science of biophilic design and its profound impact on health, creativity, and economic growth.

January 16th @ 3:00PM (PST)
Chase Collaboration Centre, Vancouver BC
Chase Office Interiors in partnership with VS America invite you to learn from international expert Dr. Dieter Breithecker, Health and Kinetics Scientist, one of Europe’s foremost expert on posture, motion, and ergonomics as it relates to healthy physical and mental development.
​
Promoting well-being for students and faculty alike is a team effort, that starts with ergonomic furniture solutions. Excessive static behavior leads to physical-mental deterioration and sabotages our concentration ability. Physically engaging with the learning experience directly affects cognitive processing areas of the brain, which helps the center for learning and memory – as well as our executive functions – develop.

Webinar: Biophilic Design - Designing for Increased
Employee Performance
November 23rd @ 12PM (PST)
In the built environment, we can use the emerging field of Biophilic design to create building interiors that connect people to nature; that are connect to their place and mimic a sensory delight of a hike through the woods; that evoke emotions we feel when immersed in water, that bring nature’s smells, sounds, colors and textures indoors. Biophilia has historically been considered a “nice to have” benefit but evidence-based design is proving that there is benefit in these physical and psychological connections with attraction and retention being high on the list of employee satisfaction.
