That old lady at the park, feeding the pigeons from a brown paper bag, a couple of girlfriends sitting near a window looking over vintage photo albums, children playing with their food at the dinner table—does anything stand out in your mind when you read about these people? Maybe they easily conjure up a bit of nostalgia, but if you were to carefully picture these situations in your mind, they may also bring up a little-talked-about but popular form of seating. Benches. --subscription-box-- Benches Whether a park bench, an indoor bench situated near a windowsill, or a dining bench, bench seating offers a comfortable, multi-person seating option that can (Read More)

The traditional style desk is usually made from natural wood and blends with the traditional office decor of wood furniture, plush carpeting and perhaps even dimmed lighting. You can still have a traditional office space featuring a warm, cherry desk and blend in more modern finishes such as tiled floors, large windows, and plenty of natural light. Oak is the more traditional look for the dark, natural wood desks in traditional office spaces. A cherry desk offers a warm, bright finish and enhances the office without detracting from the feel and design of the natural wood desk. A cherry desk projects charm and elegance and is a functional and beautiful addition to any tra (Read More)

I do all my writing in my home office, and I recently realized that I don’t talk enough about office furniture selections for a space like this. Many of us began working from a dedicated space in our homes around the time of the onset of Covid-19 and have stayed there ever since. In a place such as this, a lot of times the work area is small because we just don’t have all that much square footage to give up for a home office. So, over the next few months, I will be looking at office furniture that will fit in small places inside a home office or even that professional business that doesn’t have much workspace. Today I will begin this series with the o (Read More)

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. You see, we have office chairs that are built for full time service of the office worker. Built with comfort and support at the forefront of the de (Read More)

However, the office furniture is not just limited in that respect. The U shaped desk opens the door for so much more!
