Considerations for Feng Shui of Office Chairs
Considerations for the feng shui of office chairs should comprehensively take into account aspects such as the orientation of leaders' seats, the overall feng shui of seats, the setup of bosses' seats, and the placement of office chairs in the workplace.
Orientation of Leaders' Seats: The suitable seat orientation varies for leaders in different industries and career stages. Sitting facing east or southeast is ideal for young leaders planning to start a new company or expand an existing one. Sitting facing southwest to northeast suits leaders in industries like ore mining, representing competition, wise investment, and challenging work. Sitting facing west to east is appropriate for leaders in software development engineering and market development companies. Sitting facing south to north is good for leaders in administrative departments, indicating proficiency in interpersonal relations and a desire for promotion. Sitting facing northwest is suitable for leaders aiming for stable development with long-term plans and good relationships with subordinates. Sitting facing northeast or southwest is ideal for leaders in marketing companies. Sitting facing north to south is suitable for leaders in companies engaged in mass media, sales, and the fashion industry, as south represents positivity and enthusiasm, indicating a determination to overcome difficulties and win public support. Sitting facing east to west is suitable for leaders nearing retirement, especially those in investment and sales companies, indicating the company's financial strength or promising investment projects.
Overall Feng Shui of Seats: Sitting facing north to south is an excellent position. If assigned this seat, the feng shui is superb, and work can be accomplished with half the effort. A seat with a walkway behind is unfavorable for development as it fails to retain qi and wealth and can even harm career prospects. An office seat facing a window has an uncertain feng shui due to the irregular external feng shui conditions, requiring extra caution to avoid bad luck.
Setup of Bosses' Seats: It is advisable to face the general direction of the door but not directly face it. There should be no entrance or exit doors or walkways behind the seat. It is best to be against a wall. If this is not possible, a rockery or screen can be placed. If there is no wall behind, a yellow cushion or backrest can be used as support on the seat.
Placement of Office Chairs in the Workplace: Avoid facing the door or windows directly to prevent external disturbances. Ensure there is sufficient space for movement to avoid a cramped feeling. Avoid having two people sitting face-to-face in front; instead, place potted plants or files as dividers. There should be no walking paths directly in front of the seat to prevent the interference of the flowing qi caused by frequent personnel movement. Avoid having the seat cut by asymmetrical walkways or other seats to maintain personal smoothness and harmony with colleagues. The higher the position, the farther the seat should be from the door. Ordinary employees should also adjust their seat positions according to their job levels. It is best to have a 'backing' behind the seat, symbolizing support from influential people and enhancing promotion opportunities. If the back is a window, there is no 'backing,' indicating a lack of support. The distance between the seat and the wall should be moderate; being too far can cause the qi behind the seat to disperse.
