Hi all.
Stayed at a hotel last week, it was charming, newly designed in its interior, lovely atmosphere. If it wasn´t for one important problem. The lighting switch. After a transportation by train, by another train, by flight and by another train and at last by a metro. At last, walking to the hotel, at night, tired, taking the tiny elevator up, wanting only to get into bed, I could not find this important lihgting switch. Poking around for some while, decided to take the elevator back down to the reception asking for help to find this switch. They cordially showed me. It was hidden down somewhere, at foot level, as not to disturb the design impression. It was a touch switch, when found, very easy to use. But impossible to find, in a black dark room. Usability is about products easy to use, sure, though they must also be logically and visually placed, right??

Today we welcome our Guest Blogger Mr John de Boer, export manager at Götessons.
Götessons is one of the exhibitors in the TCO Show Office. We learn from them how to combine IT work with smart energy saving solutions in an eco friendly way.
Read and learn from John´s blog:
For Optimum office productivity a well balanced environment is required,
were the equipment complements and supports the user. We produce our own designed functional solutions to help create the ideal office working space. But we feel that it is essential that we bear in mind how, where and for what purpose we manufacture, blending durable usability with ergonomics and only giving the “Green Light” to Eco Friendly Products.
