Jeremy Albright designs office furniture for a prominent manufacturer and suggests that business furniture should support as well as create effective work flow.
Office furniture need not be bland or uninteresting. To let your office stand out from the rest, invest in trend-setting, exciting and downright funky furniture. Below are various options which may meet your particular style:
The amazing Office-in-a-box
From a company named Casulo, comes the incredible room in a box. Each and every office furniture component that you require for your office is located inside a very unassuming box. This box, which is no bigger than a table is a miracle of design and has been engineered to get your business up and running in under an hour. The desk, cupboards, drawers, bookshelf, chair and much more is crammed into a little space that can be unpacked as if it were an origami flower. This concept literally flips your perceptions in terms of business furniture and is the perfect option for start-up ventures.
The OSOM desk
The out of sight, out of mind (OSOM) desk is a miracle of design, engineering and thought-provoking conceptualisation. At face value, it is an office desk and nothing more; a mere blank canvas, a state of calm before the storm. With a deft push on the bottom of the table, a pencil holder springs from the surface. A tap here and a tap there will instil a sense of wonder in the user as they create a busy office desk from this once barren landscape. The OSOM desk is still in the design stages, but it has won my heart with its clever use of space.
The Pininfarina Xten office chair
In this chair a stunning piece of art becomes a chair which is sure to be desired by all. For a mere $3000, you too can become the proud owner of a Pininfarina Xten office chair, which is based on microfiber technology that was previously used by Olympic athletes. The design is perfect for any frame and corrects the proportions of a poorly positioned office worker perfectly. The designers ascribe this to a revolutionary ‘technogel’, a bouncy substance that reduces the impact of your posterior pain. It was designed in part by Enzo Ferrari, so we all know that this is a chair to beat all others.
The Linedesk
Another concept, but true to the concept of this article if you will excuse the pun. One single, elegant flowing line of metal that redefines what it means to sit behind a desk. Wolfson Design bent and manipulated its formless concept until it took the rigorous shape of a desk. This is more than a mere desk. It is a sculpture, a virtual objet d'art. Even taken at face value, it is more than a desk. It is a design which will inspire creative types to take hold of their inner imagination and let magic spring forth.
Arrow bookshelf
Finally, we have an interesting alternative to the standard built-in cupboard. The Arrow bookshelf system comes in bright, primary colours and is easily stackable. Collect one – which is shaped like a massive hollow arrow and then stack the rest into the points on top! This system can be renewed constantly and is easy to install. As it comes in twenty different colours, it basically ensures that you will never be bored with this tasty piece of art.
Your office furniture need not be bland. Take the next step and breathe life into a drab interior.
