BÜROTIME IS DEEMED WORTHY OF AN AWARD WITH “MUTE”, DESIGNED FOR THE COMFORT OF CALL CENTER EMPLOYEES
Introducing comfort and convenience to working environments, Bürotime has won an award with its “Mute”, which was designed for the comfort of call center personnel in the 4th Design Turkey Industrial Design Awards. Seda Palandüz, who designed the product attended the ceremony in Haliç Congress Center and received her award.
Organized for the fourth time this year in collaboration with Republic of Turkey Ministry of Economy, Turkey Exporters Assembly and Industrial Designers’ Society of Turkey under scope of TURQUALITY Program to reward outstanding designs that observe the needs of users in Turkey while creating added value and competitive superiority to products in export as well as in the national market, Design Turkey Industrial Design Awards have been handed out to the winners. Turkey’s leading office furniture manufacturer Bürotime received an award with its product named “Mute” in the “Office Furniture” category in the contest, which had received 407 applications in 13 categories.
The greatest challenge for call center personnel is talking to customers on the phone for hours and being exposed to noise. The number of employees in call center offices per square meter is unprecedented, where the layout usually comprises monotonous, sloppy design in furniture. As the number of employees in these offices are high, it is important to use products that make employees feel comfortable. Considering all these needs, Bürotime designed its aesthetic, comfortable, colorful and ergonomic Mute product. With its V form, the product allows hundreds of different layouts while the special materials used in the panel section minimize ambient noise inside the cabin.
