Living green room dividers dress up office in Amsterdam
- LiveDivider PLUS
On the Amsterdam quayside (Netherlands), employees at Success Factory now find themselves surrounded by vertical living greenery. Using the modular green LiveDivider PLUS, the company has been able to create a healthy working environment for its employees, without sacrificing too much valuable space.
More privacy without sacrificing space with living green LiveDivider PLUS
Success Factory is a network marketing platform that offers people an alternative to a nine-to-five job. Due to its huge growth, the company needed more privacy in its office space. At the same time, it wanted to see more greenery in the office garden, without needing to give up too much space to achieve the desired end result. Over a short period of time, Success Factory has grown into a company with over 100 employees, and the management wanted to make sure that each and every one of these employees is able to work in the best possible environment. Success Factory approached Botanico to help achieve exactly that. Botanico is a family-run company that installs, maintains, and revitalizes indoor greenery. Based on its own experience, Botanico recommend Mobilane’s living green LiveDivider PLUS.
Expert advice from official Mobilane partner Botanico
Botanico stands for quality and craftsmanship, which is partly why the company has been an official Mobilane partner for some time now. Nicolette van der Nagel, Account Manager at Botanico, comments: “We were asked if it would be possible to screen off spaces and add vertical greenery at the same time. Mobilane’s LiveDividers are narrow and completely non-see-through, which allows you to create spaces that feel genuinely separate. As such, this product is ideal for this kind of request. Success Factory was attracted to LiveDivider PLUS due to the fact this product offers consistent indoor design that looks stylish, compact, and sleek. On top of that, LiveDivider PLUS does not require any power, which proved to be a bonus to the company: aside from allowing for much more flexibility, this also keeps energy bills down. The company had initially ordered four LiveDividers to see how they would impact the space, but now, no fewer than 22 LiveDividers are spread throughout the office building.”
Unique solution-oriented design
LiveDivider PLUS is a modular green room divider that can be used to partition rooms, create separate spaces, or offer privacy. The product was nominated at Dutch Design week 2022 for its unique watering system, sleek design, and solution-oriented functionality. Modules made of sturdy metal can be stacked on top of each other as required. The interchangeable plant cassettes on either side allow you to build a divider with a height and look to suit your situation. The plants can easily be swapped, depending on the season or occasion. In doing so, you get more freedom to arrange a space flexibly and bring living greenery right into the heart of your working environment.
Benefits of plants in the office
It has long been known that plants improve air quality. According to a study at Wageningen University and Research, the difference can be as great as 5% compared to rooms without living greenery. That said, plants at the office offer a whole range of other benefits too, for both employees and employers. To name just one example, employees feel more satisfied about their workplace and their own performance when plants take pride of place in their working environment. Because plants instantly change the atmosphere — and because we have a natural penchant for nature — employees feel more relaxed among plants. As a result, productivity and creativity have been known to increase by as much as 15%. This in turn means that team members are less likely to call in sick (down from 36% to 16%), according to the same WUR study. This amounts to about 1.6 fewer sick days per employee per year.
