Haggis, Neeps and Pilates
January 31, 2020
Saxen organised a successful event centred around the theme of wellness.
On the 30th January, we hosted an event in our showroom ‘Haggis, Neeps & Pilates’ with a theme centred around ‘Wellness’. The day was well attended by industry professionals and featured great discussions and idea-sharing.
We organised tours for attendees around the MYB Textiles, a lace factory that is based near our HQ that produces world-renowned madras and Nottingham lace.
Some of the furniture featured in our showroom on the day was provided by Ocee Design and Knightsbridge. Ocee Design held an interesting workshop on wellbeing at work which explored what wellbeing was, how to achieve it and its impacts on us.
Karen from The Pilates Room ran a pilates class (slow easy movements as everyone was in workwear) and taught attendees relaxation techniques. We also had tasty canapes that paid homage to Robert Burns by Alisdair Hood of Cottage Catering.
The day was a massive success and we are excited to be planning another event for later this year.
You can view images from the day in our gallery below.

As much of the country and the world has switched to home working out of necessity due to restrictions caused by the virus, there have been certain oversights when it comes to safety while working from home.
Prior to the pandemic, prime office space was at a premium and the goal was to fit as many people as possible into the space in order to keep overheads to a minimum.
As we start to prepare for the ‘new normal’ after much of the world has dramatically changed due to covid-19, the way we work in offices will be different too.

Open spaces require clever furniture solutions to create privacy. In busy working environments there is a need for furniture that encourages social interaction, intimate meeting places, privacy, and places of refuge where focus and concentration can happen.
The term biophilia, meaning love of nature, focuses on human’s innate attraction to nature and natural processes. With the current increase in urbanisation, human beings have become separated from nature, which has caused an increase in stress-related illnesses.
As open plan offices continue to be the go-to of office design, the need for areas to have meetings, team working and a little privacy becomes important. That’s why dens, pods, and booths are the perfect pieces of office furniture to provide a breakout area in an otherwise open space.
