The Impact of Colour and Comfort on Learning and Working Environments.

The environments where we work and learn have the ability to have a significant impact on both our productivity and our well-being. So, why shouldn’t we strive to make them as collaborative, comfortable and space-savvy as possible?

Over the years, learning spaces, especially those of higher and further education, have evolved significantly. Improvements have been made to create a more relaxed and comfortable atmosphere for students, creating an environment where they feel more comfortable and can work in a more productive and positive way.

One of Arc’s main purposes is to provide comfort for its users through colour. The impact that colour can have on students has been studied far and wide. It’s believed that implementing certain colour schemes into the classroom can influence the emotional state and subsequently the behaviour of its students.

Studies believe that the use of certain colours can increase productivity by as much as 10%, can reduce truancy, and improve the well-being of students. Bright colours, such as yellows and oranges, were found to increase mental awareness, and soft blue and green shades were seen to help create an atmosphere of calm within the classroom.

COLOURS INFLUENCING LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS

Adhering to the idea of colour inciting productivity and calm in educational settings, the Arc collection comes in a wide variety of colours. From coral and grape to marigold and steel blue, Arc is committed to providing a positive impact on learning environments and the students that inhabit them.

By creating products like Arc, students can not only learn in a more positive and productive environment, but also have the freedom to move around their spaces, making it easier for them to connect and collaborate with others, while still being able to keep their spaces their own, something much more prominent now in 2022.

COLOUR CREATING PRODUCTIVE SPACES

Arc allows for both collaboration and safety, creating storage bases, arms tablets and chairs with wheels, making it easy for students to keep notes, devices and belongings with them at all times, and still being able to move around the room when engaging in projects with others.

By creating open, connective spaces, and applying products like Arc, secondary and further education facilities are drastically improving not only their student’s productivity in work, but also their well-being and mental health. Spaces and products like these have been designed to give students comfort, making them feel able to tackle problems, and get their work done.
