Sassy office designs of today's corporate world owe it all to the design of the furniture they use- from elegant and stylish reception desks to modular cabinets, chairs and tables. Studies have proven that there exists a direct relationship between interior décor of an office and the efficiency of the workers. Office furniture comes in a variety of colors and styles to match specific themes and office mottos and they play an important role in setting up the image of any corporate office.
However, it wouldn't be insufficient to say that office furniture just adds style and elegance to the interiors for they serve a lot of practical purposes too. It is not just impressive appearance that counts but also the cost effectiveness and storage options offered by the different desks, table and cabinets that make them a valuable part of office design.
The Reception Desk:
The reception area serves as an entrance zone into the office and it is this zone that defines the first impression that any person has about an office as he enters it. Therefore, the design of this area becomes crucial in leaving a first and lasting impression on a visitor.
While choosing a reception desk for an office, one should keep in mind that its design is such that it follows the overall theme of the office and sends an apt message about the work done there.
Office Chairs:
Chairs play an important role, not only with respect to the aesthetics but also with respect to the level of comfort and efficiency of any office. A wide variety of office chair types and designs are available depending on their usage, from ergonomic to contemporary and executive chairs. While conference rooms would most suitably need Italian designer chairs or swivel chairs, microfiber or leather sofas would be most suitable for lounges, to ensure luxury and comfort. The Modular Office Workstations, on the other hand, would require chairs that compliment the cabinets and which are comfortable for hours of working.
Modular Cabinets:
Modular cabinets solve the problem of storage in office spaces and they are perfect for open office designs where private zones need to be defined within the common work zones. It is advisable to make the cabinet's fire proof to ensure safety of the documents and files stored inside them.
Executive Tables:
Executive desks are different from the regular office desks in the sense that these are designed especially for the executives working at the top position in an office. These desks are generally bigger than the regular desks implying the relatively important workload handled by the person sitting behind them. The design of an executive desk should be such that it is a clear reflection of the office culture and the general attitude of the corporate firm. It is advisable that its design compliments, not matches that of the regular tables and chairs to make it stand out and symbolize the corporate hierarchical order and define importance of such a position.
Having established that office furniture can play such a vital role in defining not just office aesthetics but also the efficiency with which an office works, special thought should be given while selecting or designing such furniture- right from the size to color and from shape to material.
