Furniture

Furnishing an office from scratch

Our complete office furniture range in one listing. Most people get where they are going faster through the department pages, but this is here if you would rather see everything at once.

Where to start instead

If you are furnishing a space rather than replacing one item, work in this order: desks first, because they set the floor plan; then seating, because it is the biggest ongoing comfort decision; then storage, which is consistently under-ordered; then tables and accessories.

Start with desks and workstations, then office chairs and seating, then storage and filing.

Specifying a whole office

Consistency matters more than any individual choice. Furniture from one range shares finishes, heights and proportions, so a room reads as designed rather than accumulated. The Impulse contract range covers desking and storage across most of an office, and matching tables and soft seating can be specified alongside it.

The most common failure in a self-specified office is not a bad product, it is six good products that do not sit together.

The things people miss

Cable management, storage volume and acoustics. All three are invisible on a floor plan and all three are obvious within a fortnight of moving in. Our office accessories range covers the first and last.
