The Demand for Home Comforts in the Office

4th July 2019

The Trend towards Freedom

The rise of the freelance economy, tech start-ups, mobile technology and the trend for co-working has undoubtedly penetrated the culture, design and expectation of where, when and how people work. This brings new pressures and choice for workers trying to balance work and personal life. It also affects organisations as they try to meet the expectations of being an attractive place to work.

Advances in personal computing, communications devices, storage clouds and the near paperless nature of work is enabling more people than ever to work remotely. Cafés resemble living rooms, restaurants feel like home kitchens, and modern work spaces are full of home comforts.

The “Homeification” of the Office

In a bid to increase or maintain employee happiness, attract new talent, and make working in the office more attractive, forward-thinking companies create spaces that people want to be in. They do this by using functional modern office furniture can represent the values of a flexible workplace that balances a work-life ratio. The new style is a more nuanced, inclusive and thoughtful place than the open-plan office, which can often create problems with concentration and productivity.

Of course, the main criteria for workplace furniture is for it to function well. But a great design enables an employee to develop a more personal connection; furniture that is tactile and comforting, with a nod towards a domestic environment.

Knightsbridge the award-winning British furniture manufacturer understand the need to create office furniture which is ergonomic, functional but has a homely aesthetic. Take a look at some of their latest products for inspiration for your next space!
