The last two trends in office furniture, namely working from home and dynamic office design, have had a significant impact on the design, functionality and use of office furniture. Let's look at these trends in more detail:
Working from home:
- Change in design: Office furniture has undergone a transformation, with more attention paid to design, comfort and coziness. Round shapes, organic designs, use of color and accessories have become characteristic of office furniture, creating a homely and personal atmosphere.
- New furniture innovations: In addition to a change in design, new furniture innovations have also emerged that meet the needs of home workers. Examples include sit-stand desks and deskcubes/workstations, which offer compact and ergonomic solutions for home workplaces with limited space.
Dynamic office design:
- Flexibility in workplaces: The concept of the new way of working has led to a shift from fixed to dynamic workplaces. Organizations have started to look at the function of the workplace instead of an assigned place for each employee. This has led to flexible workspaces and dynamic workplaces that can be adapted to different needs.
- Transformation of office furniture: Office furniture, such as conference chairs, has not only undergone an aesthetic change, but also a functional transformation. Hybrid chairs have been developed that are suitable for both individual working and meetings, increasing the versatility of the workplace.
These trends have brought about a positive change in the working environment, making the office more cozy and personal. It offers space for creativity and personality, reducing the gap between the traditional office environment and the home workplace. In the coming years, we expect to see these trends more and more often in organizations that strive for a modern and flexible working environment.
