Leading Polish furniture manufacturer, Nowy Styl is proud to announce its participation in Global Ergonomics Month this October, celebrating movement, comfort, and the establishment of healthier workplaces. Drawing on over 30 years of experience, Nowy Styl is leveraging this annual moment in the calendar to emphasise the importance of ergonomic design to their business.
The human body is naturally designed for movement. Every day we forget how important it is to move, change our body position frequently and maintain good working posture. Nowy Styl advocates for the three Ms: Motion, Movement and Modification. While behind the desk, employees can stretch their neck, arms, wrists and lift their knees to boost ergonomics and reduce tension. They recommend that employees aim to spend 50% of their time in a sitting position, 25% standing up and 25% engaged in short walks to maintain balance and ensure a proper amount of exercise every day. In addition, each of us is different, so it is extremely important to be able to modify the parameters of our workstation to suit our body.
Nowy Styl demonstrates the experience and knowledge necessary to support clients in creating user-friendly workspaces though its wide and considered product portfolio. Designed to enable a truly dynamic working approach, their expansive range features human-centred flexible design solutions throughout its ranges includes swivel chairs, height adjustable desks and soft seating. Ergonomic furniture is just the first step for Nowy Styl: they also provide a detailed guidance service on how to use furniture correctly, including adjusting the seat height and depth, backrest height and resistance force, armrests, and desk height to avoid tension and fatigue.
Xilium designed by Martin Ballendat
The Xilium is described as more than a simple office chair; it is a work tool. It is intended to boost productivity and allow businesses to quickly and easily improve the comfort of employees. The chair is highly adaptable, featuring a wide range of configurations and an extensive range of finishes, which enables Xilium to fit into a variety of settings.
Key ergonomic features of the Xilium include:
- X-MODE Function: this is a patented function designed by Nowy Styl. It allows for dynamic movement in the frontal plane and caters for twisting movement in the lumbar region.
- Duo-back backrest: the Xilium is equipped with this backrest, which consists of two symmetrical parts mounted on movable joints. This specific structure ensures that the backrest will not exert direct pressure on the user’s vertebrae and disks. Furthermore, this design is credited with reducing the pressure on the spine by up to 50%.

eModel 3.0, Nowy Styl Design Team
Designed with ergonomics at their core, the eModel 3.0 desks and workbenches by Nowy Styl ensure users can maintain healthy posture and comfort over long periods of work or study. Key to this is the electric height-adjustment system which allows the user to raise or lower the work surface with ease. This enables alternating between seated and standing positions, which helps reduce strain on the back, shoulders, and neck.
Nowy Styl champions ergonomics in every aspect of its portfolio, whether it be seating or office desks, Nowy Styl will ensure it supports users in every part of the working environment.
