Whether you are going back to the office full-time or transitioning into a hybrid way of working, we have all adapted and found ways to work efficiently with what we have in our environment.
This year for Labour Day, we asked members of the ergonofis team what was their work essentials. For a productivity boost, a little comfort or to help with organization, we all have one item that we can't go to work without. In the spirit of Labour Day, we also asked the team what ergonofis means to them. Find out how our core values integrate with our work reality in our team!

The Sway Desk- Because when I think of all our products, this is the one that is my favorite (and the first that we launched!!). As well as being made locally, the desk is made to last, the solid wood is just amazing, and the built-in interface is a touch of design that I really like. I have had mine for a long time and I could not live without it!
Work Essential
My Ipad and my Apple Pencil. I've always loved taking notes on paper, but the environmental aspect has always bothered me a bit. I now use my Ipad to take my notes and I am completely addicted! Everything is in order, organized, and in the same place, in addition to having the feeling of writing like on paper! I love it!
To me, ergonofis means...
A big family! Motivated people who want to surpass themselves and who care about each other. An innovative company that wants to make a difference in people's lives.

The Cable Management Solution! I hate seeing cables everywhere and I feel disorganized when they are. The Cable Management Solution with a 9-outlet power bar allows me to plug all my electronic devices and tidy up the cables behind the privacy metal grid.
Work Essential
My espresso cup. I love drinking a good espresso while working!

My Sway desk in Maple. Simply because it totally changed how I feel in my office. It's thick solid wood surface and natural look make me feel more grounded, and it's sit-stand frame keeps me energized throughout the day.
Work Essential
My reMarkable 2 tablet. A perfect solution for my love of writing in a notebook while consuming less paper. It truly feels like I'm writing on paper. It's distraction free, and keeps my notes organized and available from everywhere!
To me, ergonofis means...
A dedicated team that strives to create workspaces that redefine our relationship with work.

The Desk Shelf. It allows me to be ergonomic while adding storage on my small 24x48 ergonofis desk at home. Since I live in a small apartment, my small desk and the Desk Shelf allow me to have all the space I need to be efficient and productive during my work days. I also like to display my favorite things like flowers, candles or pencils on the shelf.
Work Essential
My noise-cancelling Bose headphones. They allow me to be focused and to work without distraction. For me, listening to music is essential while working so I can't be productive without my headphones... otherwise I end up chatting with my colleagues and losing my concentration!

The Almost Perfect Leather Mouse Pad. It's the perfect accessory that brings a sophisticated touch to my workspace!

I can't choose! The Dual Monitor Arm with Laptop Tray or the YouToo chair.
The monitor arm with tray allows me to use my laptop as an auxiliary monitor at a perfectly ergonomic height, and frees up a lot of space under my screen and my laptop to be comfortable and efficient at work.
The YouToo chair is among the most comfortable ergonomic chairs I have tried. The cushion is extremely comfortable, the breathable mesh backrest and the adjustable mesh lumbar support allows me to support my back in a comfortable and adequate position without creating pressure points on my spine.
Work Essential
My wireless headphones with noise cancelling (AirPods Pro). Since I am always moving between my computer and the products I am working on. The ability to be wireless allows me to bring my music with me without having to bring my cellphone to an area at risk of damaging it, and the noise reduction mode allows me to stay focused in my area even if the environment around me is noisy.
To me, ergonofis means...
A dynamic and collaborative team, a pleasant and balanced work environment, quality products adapted to the needs of contemporary work.
Laurence, Industrial Designer
Fave ergonofis product
The Alive desk! It's a sleek desk that adds so much richness to a space. In addition, each piece is unique!
Work Essential
A paper and a pencil. I put every little idea I have on paper, whether it's work-related or not, in order to remove it from my mind. I can thus better concentrate on what I am doing. Also handy for taking quick notes!
Andrei, VP Operations

The Desk Shelf - It creates extra space on the desk that can be use to store note pads, pens and other useful tools.
Work Essential
The Leather Desk Pad - It gives me more space to move my mouse and a more comfortable area to put my forearms on!

The Sway Desk in cherrywood, because it's the perfect blend of craftsmanship and technology.
Work Essential
I sound 100% biased in my answer, but frankly, for a hyperactive like me, a standing desk is the number one productivity tool. If I didn't have the option of moving my legs every half hour while continuing to work, I would always be running in the office.
To me, ergonofis means...
A united team that always does its best to provide superior experience and products to its customers. All companies say it, but we do it for real!

There are many products that I like at ergonofis but if I have to choose one, I'll go with the Shift Desk. It has certainly changed the way I work and has helped me become more productive by switching between sitting and standing. On top of it, it's smooth texture and classic white color acts as an icing on the cake.
Work Essential
My favorite accessory to be productive at work is my monitor arm due to it's ability to rotate 360 degrees and easy of use. Moreover, it is flexible to handle and requires minimal or no effort to adjust it's positioning. The monitor arm is a complete package which takes care that my health doesn't get compromised.

My toy to pull! I like to bring it to office workers and ask them to play with me! My cozy little Casper bed to rest after a long play session.
