LINAK: solutions for living in the future at the ZOW
How will we live in the future? How can we arrange our ambience more comfortable, healthier and more barrier-free? The Danish company Linak, specialist for drive and adjustment systems, presents the answers on these questions at the ZOW in Bad Salzuflen. Living room, kitchen, workroom – Linak-systems can improve life in many rooms.
Workroom
Nothing is worse than monotony and sameness. Everyone who had to remain in a sitting position over a longer period, such as in a plane or on a school bench, can confirm this. In working life, it is the same way. A changing of the working position can be liberating. More than 85 per cent of time in the office is spent in sitting position. The most common health problems are backaches and tensioning. The magic formula is called prevention. Variant standing and sitting can be relaxing for the spine and keeps the circulation going. Linak delivers the technique for the modern stand-sit-working place. At the ZOW, Linak presents the new lifting column DL14 with Piezo™ sensor. Piezo™ is a special component which recognises when the table encounters obstacles during the procedure. The system reacts to this obstacle when the loading changes only minimally. It is stopped and the table proceeds in the opposite direction. That way, pinches are prevented.Kitchen
Flexible furniture not only offers comfort, it also helps to optimally utilise the room in the kitchen. By now, the dining table frequently is not only a dining table but also deposit space and working surface during the cooking. Why should one not pick up and optimise this function. An example therefor is a height-adjustable table on a cooking island solution. Powered up, the table becomes a comfortable working plate which offers enough deposit space. By the individual setting you have the optimum height for each adjustment.Among the height adjustment of desks, working plates and hobs, the adjustment of fume extraction hoods and the “hiding” of mulde ventilation systems is an important issue in the kitchen. Extraction hoods are necessary but get in the way. Why should one block his view when it is possible to run the fume extraction hoods up and down comfortably? Electrical drive systems by LINAK provide that ventilation systems “tuck away” and only appear when they are required. Here, new design solutions are possible.
Livingroom
The human being wants to arrange his domestic ambiance practically and comfortably. Flexibility is an important keyword at this. Furniture should be flexible in a way that it can suit human needs. Big flat screens turn evenings in front of the TV into cinema adventures. It is nice if the flat screen disappears into the closet afterwards. In this connection, Linak-drives can place their advantages entirely: They are particularly quiet, offer constant motion and a compact design. Here, radio operations likewise offer a particular comfortable possibility of adjustment.LINAK GmbH
