Smoking areas: combining design and well-being for everyone in your company

Smoking shelters represent an innovative and practical solution for reconciling the expectations of all employees. Tobacco users and vapoteurs enjoy a pleasant environment, while non-smokers avoid exposure to smoke. Polymobyl, creator of collective furniture in France, presents its furnishing solutions for an elegant, durable smoking area.

Why create a company smoking area?

Setting up a dedicated smoking area ensures that you comply with the law, while allowing those who wish to do so to vapourize or smoke during their break time. It’s also a way of protecting the health of non-smokers, by avoiding exposing them to passive smoking.

By creating an outdoor smoking enclosure, you clearly demarcate the areas reserved for smokers and non-smokers, promoting the well-being of everyone and harmonious working relationships. Shelters such as those in the 25° & Cie range, for example, allow you to create sustainable, user-friendly spaces that can be customized to your company’s colors. What’s more, the existence of these zones encourages your employees to get some fresh air and enjoy the outdoors, whatever the weather conditions.

How can you integrate the creation of a smoking area into your CSR approach?

Despite the ban on smoking and vaping in public places and enclosed business premises, many millions of French people have not given up their habit. To take account of individual habits, employers can set up smoking areas in their outdoor spaces.

To reconcile quality of life at work with a commitment to CSR, it’s in companies’ best interests to choose durable, eco-responsible shelters made in France, like those offered by Polymobyl. To create an even more convivial space, you have the option of fitting out a real break area with seating, ashtrays and waste garbage cans, all designed in elegant, environmentally-friendly materials. Indeed, the 25°&Cie collections, like NUT, favor wood. The LUD collection, on the other hand, stands out for its colorful, more “whimsical” look in powder-coated steel.

A wooden smokers’ shelter, shaded and planted, equipped with a table with bench and deckchair, contributes to the image of a company committed to the well-being of its teams, their safety and respect for the environment.

What kind of furniture is needed for a smoking area in the workplace?

The 25° & Cie range of professional furniture is particularly well-suited tocreating break-out areas for your employees. Modular, with clean lines and eco-friendly materials, the various models in the range are fully customizable.

On an aluminum structure, you choose the type of partition: Securit glass, wood, perforated sheet metal with your logo or a motif of your choice… You can also grow climbing plants on one or more sides, to bring freshness and a natural feel to your smoking area.

In terms of accessories, the smokers’ awning can be fitted with a variety of elements:

Ashtrays and litter garbage cans

tables and a variety of seating furniture: armchairs, chairs, benches, stand-up seats...

planters for planting

How to customize your professional smoking shelter?

Creating a space for vapoteurs and smokers is a project that deserves careful thought. The Polymobyl team can help you from A to Z, from choosing the right location to customization options.

25° & Cie shelters adapt to your preferences in terms of dimensions, materials, colors and design. In keeping with our contemporary, sustainable approach, each element is designed and manufactured to order. You can add a logo, an engraved visual or openwork motifs to convey your corporate image. Ask our designers for advice.

Our catalog also includes a mobile smoker’s shelter on a frame, which can be moved at will to suit your needs. It’s the ideal solution for construction work, temporary installations or sites that don’t allow the creation of concrete slabs or blocks.

How do you create a pleasant, functional break area?

Polymobyl focuses on aesthetics and the quality of its materials to create user-friendly, long-lasting and modular corporate furniture. For example, you can integrate the smoking shelter into a larger break area, with a dedicated area for meals or coffee breaks. The result is a convivial, functional space that your employees can make their own, and which provides a place to gather during the lunch break.

In addition to awnings for smokers and break furniture, why not include a bicycle shelter? In this way, you can extend your CSR approach by encouraging your employees to use environmentally-friendly means of transport.

The NUT range of street furniture, for example, is ideal for complementing smoking shelters and creating comfortable break areas. Featuring PEFC wood and a resolutely timeless design, the products in this line can be adapted to meet all your needs for furnishing professional and public spaces.
