In the modern day office environment … things appear to be changing, we all seem to be slimming down!
Research suggests that as financial pressures hit businesses, one consideration for reigning back the money is to down-size. In some extreme cases businesses will move to smaller (and cheaper) premises, but what furniture suppliers have started noticing is that instead of changing premises, businesses are buying smaller versions of office furniture in order to accommodate more bodies within existing space.
When you consider the slimming down of office machines – for example flat screen monitors – it’s not quite a barbaric option as first seems. In fact whole ranges of office furniture are tailoring their offering to the modern, largely paper-free office.
This means skinnier desks as we nolonger need the depth to accommodate large monitors, streamlined filing options as we move towards consuming less paper in the office and finally slimmer under desk storage to accommodate the smaller desk.
