Unpopular opinion: display cases are an underrated and often forgotten office furniture item. Why is that? Oftentimes, when we begin to furnish an office, we think about all the things that help us get our work done. When we design our spaces, we also consider the impression they will give to clients and visitors.

A great option for a small or growing business in lieu of a conference room is a bow front desk for the office. If you are meeting a small number of people, the bow front desk works as a de facto conference table. Designed specifically for the purpose of meeting guests in your own office, it allows you to function as a full-sized business in limited office space. Several years ago, I worked for a small but successful land surveying company. The boss had a bow front desk in his office, and it functioned exactly this way. If we had to have a party chief meeting, it was done across his bow front desk. If we met with clients, it was done there. Also, on those rain days whe (Read More)

Getting into the most comfortable position for your work throughout the day may not be as cut-and-dry as sitting in an armless office chair. We all like to move around regularly, sit cross-legged, or put our feet up from time to time, but doing that would also require you to find the best configuration for your laptop. While many offices nowadays prioritize a multitude of workspaces so that employees have the freedom to get the job done in the best environment for them, working from home and allowing yourself some freedom may not always be possible.

After reviewing standing office furniture for the past week or so, I thought I would look into this style in the most popular office desk around today- the L shaped desk. L shaped desks are always “flying off the shelf” at Madison Liquidators and for good reason. They provide an upgraded workstation compared to a traditional rectangular desk. They give the worker double the desktop workspace versus a traditional shaped desk. This extra workspace pays dividends for project management and desktop organization. I personally work from an L shaped desk and do so because I was allowed to pick out my own desk, so I like so many others went with L shaped office furnit (Read More)

    According to Arch2o multifunctional, multiuse and multipurpose spaces are defined as: a proper integration of several functions. In essence, taking a space and using it for more than one purpose. While everyone has a room in their house or office which has a dedicated name to make the use apparent, creating a multiuse room is not necessarily about changing the function of that space, but designing it in a way that opens it up seamlessly to another possibility of use. So, if conventionally a room has a particular use, why would it be important or even necessary to create a multifunctional space? Well, it's no surprise that in the past decade, at least, (Read More)

When thinking of a modern office, specifically the conference room the conventional thought for the office furniture is a modern shaped conference table. Like the boat shaped conference table that flairs out on the long ends so that everyone in the meeting can see each other, or the racetrack conference table that has rounded ends for a touch of uniqueness in the office furniture of the conference room. These two shapes seem to have been created for the modern office, but manufacturers are making a concerted effort to broaden the office furniture available for the aesthetic by applying modern touches to traditional conference table shapes.

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)

Over 66% of households own a pet according to the American Pet Products Association, with Millennials taking the largest share of pet ownership at 33%. Compare that to Team Stage data which states that millennials make up 35% (or 1/3) of the current workforce, which means that a good portion of the workforce probably consider themselves to be pet parents. Since the pandemic, a lot of the benefits of home pet ownership have come to light, and for the workplace the same applies.

Floor space is in demand in most offices and often people center their focus on the maximum use of the available floor space. Using a desk with bookshelf can reduce clutter as well and reduce the amount of floor space used for storage. Office walls are generally not used for much besides a piece of art or a whiteboard or corkboard in most offices. Where space is at a premium, why would you take up unnecessary space with filing cabinets, cupboards and other storage areas when a bookcase can give you the best of both worlds? This reduces clutter, improves efficiency and enhances productivity in the office. Vertical storage at the site of your desk is a great way to keep e (Read More)
