Office workers are becoming more mobile, both in movement and devices. Employees don’t have as much personal space in the office, and people can work almost anywhere. To meet these changing expectations, office furniture types and materials are changing.quality modern office furniture

“Where people have their personal work take place, the overarching trend is height adjustability and built-in technology support,” says Nick Meter, Director of Customer Experience at Tangram Interiors. “Does this table go up and down? Is there support for charging or multiple devices and a laptop dock? Does the space allow you the opportunity to meet collaboratively?”

Because people might be moving around, not have an assigned desk or even work in another part of the building, Meter says that clients are thinking beyond the desk when looking at office furniture.“There’s a diversity of spaces taking over – it’s more than desk and chair,” he explains. With mixed uses for social spaces, “there’s a lot of move to eclecticism and unique products.”

Integra’s Joel Riley, National Sales Manager, and Chandra Putnam, Director of Sales and Marketing, notice clients asking for more modular and flexible lounge seating options, with many spaces serving multiple purposes. As furniture is used more within a space, it needs to be multifunctional and durable.
