The years of isolated office cubicles are long over, making way for bright, open spaces that support and encourage happier workers and productivity. The chairs, desks, and shapes within offices are constantly being revolutionised, as businesses recognise the statement they can make to employees, clients and guests with the furniture they select.
Modernise your office floor
From improving working conditions to building reputation, the right office furnishings hold a fair bit of power. In this post, we’ll share some of the most popular pieces of modern office furniture
1. The home office
Who says your working from home setup should lack the style of a modern office environment? Opt for furniture that suits your home’s aesthetic to create a space you feel both comfortable and inspired in. The Herman Miller SAYL Chair is a unique desk chair with fantastic support, available in a wide range of colours to suit your home office design.
2. Ergonomic seating
Ergonomic chairs are the only answer for those that want to be comfortable while sitting for long periods of time. Luckily, the design of these types of desk chairs are constantly evolving, resulting in office furniture pieces that keep up to date with modern trends.
The Embody Chair by Herman Miller is sleek and simple while offering the support you need for good posture. Improved posture is said to contribute towards productivity and motivation as well as fewer aches and pains, and this stylish ergonomic chair is your answer to a better supported spine.
3. Modern privacy
Open office plans allow for a brighter, airier space that some say is beneficial for staff connections and communication, but it’s still important to have areas that lend some privacy. Besides designated meeting rooms, consider adding pods to the office floor, such as the Orangebox Cwtch Screened Unit, the perfect semi-contained pod for group work and discussion.
4. Lose the boards
Modern offices are designed to enable collaborative and creative working. These low-level semi-opaque screens are a refreshing change from the dusty fabric covered boards of past call centre fame. Perfect for creating an element of privacy between desks without isolating people, they’re a great choice for increasing staff comfort while working.
5. Simple catch up spots
Create an instant meeting room with the Boss Design Shuffle Chairs that have ready to go integrated ‘walls’. Available in a range of sizes and colourways, these sleek seating pieces complete with backs are perfect for modern office floors or reception areas. Shuffle them into your desired arrangement to create catch up spots, or stagger them in a row to offer staff and visitors hot desks.
6. Don’t forget the extras
Tablets have become a standard piece of kit for the modern day worker. Provide workers with the Mantis iPad stand on their desks to give them a stylish and practical accessory to place their tech.
7. Stylish storage
No office is complete without storage for possessions, documents, equipment, and just about everything else you don’t want out on the desks. This Elite Flare Storage Unit is a prime example of office style, with a wide variety of colours and finishes to choose from. Lockable, this sleek and secure cabinet is perfect for filling with anything you need out of sight, and works on the office floor, in meeting rooms, or out in the reception area.
8. Desks of the future
Desks have evolved over time and you no longer have to settle for stationary pieces of furniture. Standing desks are perfect for giving workers the chance to stretch their legs and back, helping with circulation and comfort. They also look good, which helps create an aesthetically pleasing office atmosphere. The Lavoro Five Sit Stand Desk is a stylish, sophisticated height adjustable desk, with dual motors and anti-collision features, perfect for any office space.
9. Impress your visitors
It’s the details that can make the difference when it comes to an important meeting or pitch. Welcome your guests into a reception furnished with these distinctive and striking lounge chairs and colourful pebble seats from Allermuir, or stylish wooden credenzas from Boss Design.
10. The breakout space
Your team deserves a comfortable, visually appealing space to relax in during their breaks. Provide them with modern breakout furniture to rest on, like the colourful and cushioned Orly chair or the stylish reclined Moss chair from Orangebox. Create an environment they feel relaxed in so they can recharge for the next task.
