When it became common for people to work in offices, all offices looked alike. The office furniture was generally a solid oak desk, an upright chair and two chairs for guests. There may also have been a coat and hat rack in the corner. Brown was the dominant color, although the walls may have been a greenish color. Offices were not a place to express your personality. Work was a serious business and it occupied a separate place in your life from your personal existence.
All this has changed. Your office, and the furniture in it, is no longer simply functional. Your success and your status in the company are reflected in your place of work and in the manner in which it is furnished.
If you wish to make it to the top, you have to aim quite literally at the most prestigious office. This is usually situated in the premium spot on the floor above the rest of the firm and is located in a position that offers the best outlook over the surrounding area on two sides of the building. This office is always more spacious than any other and has a budget for decorating that becomes its status and that of the person who occupies it. It has walls of appropriate dimensions to display many paintings by celebrated artists.
Interior decoration of your place of work is now of such vital importance that it can only be correctly achieved by appointing a professional consultant. This consultant will ensure that the workspace reflects your status, achievements, individuality, and even your approach to life. The office must no longer be an impersonal space. The furnishing must be daring, sometimes even audacious, but it must demand the attention of all who set foot in your domain.
This is your place of business and that should be reflected in the furnishings. It is for this reason that pride of place should go to your desk which may be traditional in style and size, and dominate the room. If you have a lighter touch, your desk may be very modern and made of glass or whatever material is in vogue at the time.
The seat placed behind the working space is no longer merely functional. It should be designed to match your dimensions precisely and thereby prevent any feelings of discomfort while you are working. The chair should be perfectly positioned for you to be able to carry out every task with ease, from reaching for the telephone to working on your computer.
The area set aside for entertaining your visitors must have designer furnishings, either modern or antique depending on your taste. Carpeting must be expensive and soft underfoot while sofas and occasional chairs must offer luxury and comfort. Refreshments served on a fashionable coffee table should turn any meeting into a relaxed occasion.
The room will be devoid of any of the objects that one normally associates with a place of work. The furniture will have been carefully designed to hide anything that would spoil the aesthetic appearance of this space.
Is this new approach to office furniture the result of changes in the way that business is conducted, or because people have changed?
