Office Furniture Supply and Workplace Trends: The Dealers Point of View

Today’s office world is under a huge transformation, with concepts such as flexibility, coziness, and sociability shaping the new workspaces. Office Furniture is ever more inspired by residential environments while remaining technologically much more advanced and function-oriented. About half of a medium/large office project budget, according to the results of CSIL’s survey, is represented by shared and focus spaces, while the traditional desk-based areas are reduced significantly. All these assumptions have led to demand growth for types of furniture not typically considered within traditional offices.

Some major changes are affecting distribution and office as a service. A relevant share of dealers started selling refurbished office furniture. Furthermore, almost half of the CSIL survey’s respondents declared that they are using e-commerce.
