The program New Office System Waldmann starts from scientific insights to take an advanced step in the field of workplace lighting. Three presets in a app enable targeted and advanced support for any type of work task.
A modern workplace is no longer just about furniture and IT solutions. Health, well-being, and productivity are just as important. Think ergonomic chairs, sit-stand desks, and ample daylight. But one aspect often remains literally under-emphasized: lighting. That's why Waldmann decided to change that with his NEW Office SystemAn innovation that combines science, technology, and ease of use in one smart lighting concept, designed to optimally support every work task.
Where traditional lighting systems offered one constant for years – the same color and light intensity, all day long – Waldmann ensures that static light is a thing of the past. With the NEW Office System introduces dynamic, task-oriented lighting that adapts to what and when the employee is doing it. The core of the system is three intuitive presets which via a app are easy to select: wellbeing,reativity in fear.
Three presets, endless possibilities
Within the same workspace, employees are sometimes working on very different tasks, depending on the stage of a file. Creative processes are monitored through analyses, and analyses are translated into strategies and action plans. The entire process is supported by task-specific lighting. This is user-friendly: every employee can adjust the lighting in their workspace to the task at hand – hassle-free and without technical expertise. They can choose from three options, available at the touch of a button via a user-friendly app:
- WellbeingIn this basic setting, the lighting follows the natural course of the day. In the morning, cool light increases energy and alertness, while in the evening, warmer light promotes calm and relaxation. This mode supports the circadian rhythm and promotes general well-being in the workplace.
- CreativityCreative processes require a different mental state than analytical work. This mode offers a softer, warmer light that stimulates the brain to think freely, make new connections, and come up with original solutions. Ideal for brainstorming sessions, creative workshops, or concept development.
- Focus Sometimes work simply requires concentration. Think of analyzing figures, writing texts, or preparing presentations. Cool, bright light offers the best support in these situations. It increases concentration, increases alertness, and helps you work more accurately.
The strength of the new system lies not only in its individual adjustability but also in its flexibility at the team level. Waldmann offers mobile, floor-standing luminaires that can be individually adjusted, as well as collective lighting for meeting and project rooms.
An added benefit: existing Waldmann YARA luminaires can be made compatible with the new system via a software update. This allows organizations to upgrade their current lighting solutions without major investments.
Scientific
Light works on multiple levels. It improves our vision (visual), influences our mood (emotional), and regulates our biorhythm (biological). It plays a role in the production of hormones like melatonin, dopamine, and serotonin, thus impacting our sleep, sense of happiness, and brain activity.
The program NEW Office System Waldmann's lighting is based on extensive scientific research into these effects. The three light presets weren't chosen at random, but carefully developed to naturally bring out the best in people – whether it's energy, creativity, or concentration.
