The Office Chair - King of Office Furniture
The chair is a key part of office furniture, and as we spend a great deal of time sitting at our desks it is vital that we are comfortable with it. There are so many different types of office chairs that the choice is mind-boggling; however, there is an important question to ask when considering the purchase of chairs for the office - who are they for?
Not every chair is for the
manager in his office, nor for the secretary at her keyboard, and what about
the receptionist's needs, and those of visitors to the premises? All of these
people need different types of chairs, and all need the one thing a good chair
provides: comfort.
That last point may seem like
common sense - for it is - but in the quest for a good-looking and stylish
office, it is often overlooked. What, after all, is the point of having exciting
and beautiful office
furniture if it is uncomfortable and difficult to use?
Looking at the chair for the
desk-bound manager first, the leather swivel type tends to be the most
frequently chosen. This is for good reason, too, as these executive-style
chairs come adjustable for height and with dull armrests, and when finished in
black leather with chrome trimmings look the part, too. After all, you want the
office to look good when clients visit, and what better than a well-furnished
office to put an image across?
While talking of clients it is
important that they are catered for, too; they may have a wait in reception,
and there are many designs of chairs that will be adequate for keeping the
client comfortable during that short time. In addition, the board room or
meeting room needs to be matched with equally comfortable and stylish office
chairs, for these areas are the ones the client will be introduced to
most frequently.
Comfort is as good a selling
point as style, and the two together make a formidable partnership. In terms of
office furniture it is fair to say the chair is the one piece that may be most
varied; the typist, for instance, wants one in which correct posture can be
maintained for long periods, and the receptionist needs one that is movable and
easy to get in and out of. All of these needs can be found in a range of chairs
with castors on and swivel backs, those that are designed exactly for the
purpose.
There is one area we are
forgetting, however, and that is the lounge: every office has a resting area
where staff and clients are encouraged to take a break, have a coffee, or simply
relax for five minutes, and this needs to be furnished with soft, comfortable
chairs in which the individual feels relaxed.
The choice of chairs, and the
varied designs and styles, available means any office - large or small - can be
designed to look good and be comfortable to work in, and for that, we should all
be thankful.
