Executive offices require special office furniture, right? What’s the point of being in the big office if you can’t enjoy the benefits? If we take the 1980s yuppie phrase of “work hard, play harder” then we can assume that we should reward ourselves for making it to the top of the business. Okay, so that tongue in cheek spill was my attempt at humor, but the underlying message is true. Executive office furniture is built to higher standards than regular office furniture with the executive in mind.
Let’s take executive office chairs for example. You will find larger office chairs with more comfort considerations built in, and more luxury ma (Read More)

A small conference table for an executive office can be a valuable asset to have in place. They provide a small meeting area outside of the normal confines of the conference or board room. Usually, a small round or square conference table can be placed within the executive office without taking up too much space and ruining the design of the office space. They provide the executive with a small informal meeting area within their own office to greet guests, often those VIPs that really help make the business such a success. Since small square or round conference tables are becoming so popular for the executive office, I thought I would highlight a few from the Madison Liqu (Read More)

Office chairs are one of the most critical purchases for every office. The chair provides comfort and support throughout the workday, every day, all year long; or at least it’s supposed to. It should be a safe assumption that everyone has had to endure a poor-quality chair in the past, or perhaps even now. I know that I can think back on a particular chair and my back aches in remembrance at just the thought of it. Some people look at the copy machine scene in the Office Space movie and relate, but for me I would have loved to take a baseball bat to this so-called office chair.

About Conference Room Chairs
When you're in a meeting you're probably thinking about the exciting words the presenter is conveying, the new ideas your team is collaborating on, or maybe even the kindly provided donuts and coffee on the table in front of you.
Or maybe not.

If you're like most people, the office furniture provided for you by your company is the office furniture you use.

Take a moment to think of your favorite part about the office.
Is it the grey cubicle walls or speckled ceiling panels? How about the early 90s carpet squares or, if you're in a newer office, the generic kitchen tiles.

I like drag racing. It’s an interesting sport because the vehicles are purposefully built for a cold start ¼ mile straight line sprint to a finish. For drag racing they are perfectly suited for the drag strip but if you put one in a stock car race and they become a little more than useless. That’s why a drag car must stay in its lane- that pun was totally intended.
Turning to office furniture with this illustration in mind, the conference room chair is the drag racer, and the conference room is the track.

Office style is important. It creates the atmosphere of the entire office. A good office design is a single cohesive statement from the front door to the boss’ office.

If you follow my writing then you know that I have been a little more than heavy-handed in highlighting modern office design lately.

This is my regular reminder that sit stand desks exist and improve the health of the office worker. I was talking with a friend who is an office worker from home the other day and she was complaining about how sitting down so much has made her seek out the aid of a chiropractor about once a quarter. This immediately got me championing sit stand desks as a healthy alternative that can give her much needed movement daily while still remaining just as productive. She said she had heard of them but thought they were more of a novelty than an actual fundamental change that I view them as.

Reagan was right about needing a place to communicate clearly. His thoughts are from parent to child, we have flipped it from management to worker.
