		<description><![CDATA[We caught up with Leon Roodt, Owner and Creative Director of Ergoform, an award-winning enterprise and one the most progressive manufacturers of office furniture in the country. Ergoform has been designing and manufacturing premium quality, functional-yet-beautiful pieces of furniture since 1994. With showrooms in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban, as well as a fully equipped manufacturing premises in the Western Cape, the company’s success is due to owners Leon and Alice Roodt’s ability to understand the needs of the modern professional and to adapt to an ever-changing landscape, where office furniture and office interior design have become an essential part of what organisations have to rely on to optimise employee performance. Tell us how your business began, and what prompted the idea? After studying business at the University of Stellenbosch, I began working as a management and training consultant. I sat at my desk one day and thought surely it can’t be too difficult to manufacture the designs that I’d always dreamt of. Wanting to have my own business for a long time, at the end of that month I decided to resign and start up on my own. How did you come up with the name Ergoform? The name Ergoform combines ergonomics [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Stylish and slick, the new Spectre Chair from Ergoform epitomizes a contemporary classicism that speaks of a stylish setting in which James Bond would be at home. Tall, sleek and embodying Ergoform’s signature minimalist approach, the Spectre Chair is an elegant addition to any space  – professional or otherwise. Designer, Leon Roodt has drawn inspiration from design classics such as the ‘good old rocking chair’ and sought to fuse the timeless grace of such pieces with the striking contemporary twist for which Ergoform are renowned. Born out of the need for a comfortable high back lounge chair, the Spectre Chair is suitable for breakaway areas, waiting areas and meeting lounges. The Spectre Chair is a standout piece that defines a space. With a range of fabrics and finishes to choose from, including standard fabric, 100% 1st wool and leather – one is easily able to refine that definition. Available from Ergoform in Cape Town, Johannesburg and now Durban, with a 4-5 week lead-time, you’ll be swiftly swivelling along in no time! For more information visit www.ergoform.co.za or call Ergoform in Cape Town on 021 461 2251, Johannesburg on 011 262 0210 or Durban on 031 566 5094]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ergoform’s 3D Acoustic Panels are making a noise! These innovative panels come in an array of popular patterns and cool colours and are an easy way to invigorate an office space. Apart from looking great, the panel’s primary function is to absorb sound waves &#8211; resulting in a far more precise sound quality. By reducing the speed at which sound pressure waves bounce around in a space, the acoustic panels allow for greater audibility and clarity of speech. The visual stimulation paired with the enhanced acoustics that the panels provide makes for an ideal environment for business meetings, presentations, one-on-one discussions, or creative brainstorming. Be boardroom bold by choosing from a variety of patterns and colours that will transform your meeting space into a hub of effective communication. Not only will your office environment be transformed, Ergoform’s 3D Acoustic Panels are also easy on the natural environment; they are manufactured using PET Felt, which is made directly from recycled plastic bottles. Priced between R600 and R900 per panel, Ergoform’s 3D Acoustic Panels are available to order from Ergoform in Cape Town on 021 461 2251 or Johannesburg on 011 262 0210.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ergoform’s office Pods are revolutionising the way we work! Gone are the days when we were bound to the confining walls of our workspaces. The younger generation entering the workforce is more socially interactive, mobile, and environmentally aware, meaning our workspaces need to be too! Whether it’s an intimate meeting, a brainstorming session or some simple time out to focus, the Pod, as the name suggests, encapsulates the end user and their task, allowing them a creative hub of peace and quiet. The Pod also enables professionals to manoeuvre their working environments as needed. For young start-ups, these movable meeting rooms can be relocated to new premises if need be, while the larger corporates in a more permanent location can reposition the Pods according to their requirements. Ergoform is a proudly South African company, and all of designer Leon Roodt’s products are created with the well-being of the environment in mind. The Pod is a green concept whereby it involves no hard construction or breakdown resulting in material waste. Ergoform&#8217;s: The Pod range consists of the following designs: The Space Hub Focus Pod for individual focus work The Space Hub Meeting Pod: a 2-4 seater for intimate meetings Giggle Pod: [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ergoform’s aptly named “Bonbons” have the same appeal as an array of assorted candies on a tray. Yet with such a wide variety of colour “flavours”, the only problem is which one to choose? But in this case, it is a good idea to have them all! Better as a cluster &#8211; yet superb as a solo item &#8211; these delectably formed poufs take the prize for informal seating both in the home and the office meeting area as they come at standard seat height. Designed and manufactured in good ol’ ZA by Ergoform’s Leon Roodt, the Bonbons up the eco ante with wooden frames, a water based, solvent-free glue specially imported from Sweden, and 100% wool felt upholstery with leather straps. And if you aren’t feeling the felt, you can also choose your own upholstery… Priced at R2200 per Bonbon in the felt, and at ± R1600-R1800 in various other choices of fabric. Bonbons are available to order (with a 4-week lead time) from Ergoform in Cape Town on 021 461 2251 or Johannesburg on 011 262 0210. For more information visit www.ergoform.co.za.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[   South Africa’s leading designer and manufacturer of office furniture, Ergoform, has branched out from its home base of Cape Town to open a brand new showroom in the décor hub of Kramerville, Johannesburg. Situated in close proximity to other interior design stores and top fabric houses, the new Ergoform showroom is perfectly positioned to cater to interior design, décor and architectural design professionals as well as members of the public. Already, the space has been lauded as a world-class design destination. When owners Leon and Alice Roodt conceived of the space they envisaged a very contemporary outlet that would have more of an art gallery feel than a regular showroom.  The open plan configuration and high gloss white floors contribute to this effect &#8211; as does the up-to-the-minute selection of Ergoform’s latest designer pieces. Ergoform specializes in modern office furniture that keeps abreast of international trends, but doesn’t carry the heavy cost of imported pieces. Many of Ergoform’s pieces translate comfortably into the home office and home environment too… All Ergoform’s pieces are designed by Leon and manufactured here in South Africa and the company has received several awards for manufacturing and productivity over its 20-year existence.
