An innovation community in rural Weserbergland - that is the major goal of the large-scale project "zedita" of the Weserbergland University of Applied Sciences (HSW). In cooperation with various partners from administration, science and business, including WINI, a digital hub called "zedita" was created in the historic Kaisersaal of Hameln's railway station. The centre promotes innovation and digital working in the district of Hameln-Pyrmont.

September 2018 saw MAN Energy Solutions SE/Augsburg moving into their reconstructed floor in the company’s administration building. A complete makeover of the technical and structural conditions was undertaken to create a contemporary office design with recreation areas, communications zones and shared desks, separated by glass walls to create a transparent and open working atmosphere. 56 ergonomic sit-stand desks were supplied, equipped with an acoustically effective back or side panel, depending on their positioning in the working area.

Particalur attention was paid to power and cable management and the vibration-free flat screen arms, which are installed in the desk’s organisation rail as well as attached to the privacy screen at the back. To provide space-saving storage of notebooks for the shared desks, WINI developped a bespoke solution which is incorporated by the desk’s integrated rail.

The Human Resources Marketing Agency Raven 51 moved to new premises in the Rödelheim district in Frankfurt uniting the knowledge and competence of the staff of two former locations. 45 employees are now joined under one roof. The new office world, designed by Industrial Designer Ursula Czugalla, offers ample space for 55 staff members. The pleasant colour scheme and the contemporary furniture create a warm and comfortable atmosphere.  The work benches, grouped in rows of three, are aligned along the window front. The ergonomic, height adjustable work desks are operated with an innovative control panel, by pushing the panel up or pressing it down the desks moves in the respective direction – easy as child’s play. These clever desks support healthy work postures, the various formal and informal areas which are scattered all over the open plan space invite the users to explore and use the whole office environment: for a quiet place to work, for creative activities, for collaboration and socialisation.
