Choosing office furniture

Abstract

The UK furniture market is currently worth approximately £428 million. There are over 140 companies, all of them highly competitive and offering increasingly sophisticated ranges. The complexity of tasks processed through the office has placed huge demands on furniture and on building services. Whereas furniture selection used to involve picking the right desk, chair and filing unit for a particular grade and multiplying it by headcount, increasingly building elements have to be considered and a misguided choice can entail costly relocation of services. Criteria for choice should therefore be carefully evaluated and weighted.
