Or, to you and I… Fusion is a fabulous, brand new desking range from office furniture supremos Steelcase

And it’s not called Fusion for nothing!

Hot off Steelcase’s design press and on show for you to see in our High Wycombe showroom, Fusion is definitely more than the sum of its parts!  Bringing together a variety of worksurface options with desk organisation, clever cable management, practical storage and a choice of leg style, this is an office furniture system designed to satisfy your entire range of needs; all wrapped up in one attractive, flexible, easy to assemble and reconfigure package.

Incorporating thoroughly well-thought out, truly modular elements, Fusion allows you to create literally 100’s of individual workspace configurations which will all dovetail together perfectly, ideal for today’s ever changing office environment.  So, whether your people work in a traditional office style, in pairs (an increasingly popular arrangement), in groups as a small team, on a ‘benching’ layout or as a large team in a call centre environment, Fusion has the perfect, practical and productive answer for you.  There are even stunning options for your team leaders and meeting rooms too!

Fusion is the instant office furniture solution: modern or traditional design, choice of colours, range of storage solutions, even adjustable heights… plus Steelcase proudly claim you can install it in just 30 seconds (well, 2 people can complete the basic installation in that time; still impressive!); so you could change your office environment in an instant, or at least a weekend.

All this and great environmental credentials too!  No compromise on quality, durability or performance… it has a 15 year guarantee… just a thoughtful mix of less weight, lower polluting materials, less packaging and great end-of-use options makes Fusion a thoroughly modern, forward thinking choice.

Fusion… infinitely flexible, ultimately practical, stunningly good looking: it’s desking, but not as you know it!

Combining clean, contemporary styling, a simple interlocking beam structure and an intelligent cable management system, the Lucido range of office desking is obviously well conceived, well considered and well constructed.

Using just five modular components, you can create a whole fist full (well, building full) of different desk configurations… and they’re all designed to save you space and money too!

Lucido’s clever “leg sharing” on groups of desks guarantees substantial cost savings, particularly on larger configurations; its built-in cable management beam and leg riser system replace all those costly cabling add-ons (hiding all the mess from sight whilst allowing extra easy access to power sockets and cables) and it has a FIRA Gold award for total quality assurance coupled with a 10 year guarantee for total peace of mind.

With a choice of rectangle, single wave, double wave, crescent and 120° degree desktops, available in zebrano, white, grey, maple, beech or oak finishes, combined with white or silver metalwork, the options are practically endless… so, what would you do with your Lucido?

Mmmm… perhaps a set of four ‘crescent’ workstations (very productive); possibly a long run of plain rectangular desks (very practical); maybe even a work island of three 120° units (very compact)…

… whatever you choose, the World is your Lucido!

It’s amazing how many combinations you can create with a simple desking system… when it’s well thought out and cleverly designed!  And the Ekis executive system from Hunts Office Furniture is certainly that!

With elegant, clear-cut lines, smooth uncluttered styling and sophisticated walnut, light oak, dark oak or glass finishes, Ekis will add distinctive character and a touch of contemporary chic to your office space.

You can create your own personal configuration from the choice of panel end desks, mobile pedestals and extension sections, or use the innovative supporting pedestal for a more “designer” look.  There are three sizes of table, from the small and personal to full meeting sized, plus coffee height options; and there’s matching storage furniture to accommodate everything you need.

Choose from standard cabinets, with doors, drawers, shelves or a combination, in heights from 80cm right up to 275cm (approx), or for your books and files, there’s an open bookcase or modular bookshelves to create your own solution.

And then there’s the Dado range of cabinets… stunning, contemporary units to really complement the Ekis desking and add that finishing touch to your personal office space.

Ekis… so simple; but it’s often the simple things that make the most impact!

Hunts Office Furniture believes its Origami range of Executive office furniture is some of the “most gorgeously stylish, elegant and well-designed” the company has ever offered.

Inspired by the ancient Japanese art, Origami incorporates a wealth of innovative design features combined with rigorous attention to detail, ensuring the furniture is practical as well as eye-catching… and guaranteed to be far more robust than a paper sculpture!

The impressively proportioned executive desk is available with or without a return, and with matching storage credenza or pedestal options; meeting tables come in three sizes and storage cupboards in three heights, with unusual angled or standard straight versions.

All of the pieces are available as ‘minimal’, ‘contemporary’ or ‘luxury’ styles; in white lacquer, beech wood veneer, black ash veneer, polyester walnut and natural walnut finishes.

The Origami range has been specifically designed to create a stimulating, creative, yet calm and considered office environment; helping you improve the perception of your company, enhance your personal standing and promote the ‘right’ impression every time.

Office desks are more than functional furniture for computers – the way you plan your office space could impact on how staff interact.

Office desks need to be ergonomic for staff to work in comfort, but it isn’t just the height and space a desk provides that you need to consider. Of course the kind of communication flow you want in your office depends on the kind of work you do. If your office could give a battery-farm a run for its money, it could be time to invest in office desks that inspire individuality. Or if everyone is boxed off even though they should be working together, office desks that allow staff to sit in the right proximity in an open-plan style could be the solution.

Office Desks Create the Right Vibe

The respected office architect Ralph Buschow believes that successful offices work like cities – with different quarters and hotspots to accommodate the differing needs. For most offices, open communication is crucial to encourage open communication, an exchange of ideas and collaborative teamwork. How the office desks are laid out can impact on how staff can work. If they feel cornered off by their office desks it could in fact promote conspiratorial dens and cliques rather than open, healthy collaboration. As well as putting strategic thought into where to place office desks, it’s important to have areas in the office that allow staff to mingle and relax or feel professional and focused such as a dedicated staff room or conference room.

Getting the Layout Right

If you’re in the creative industries, a relaxed but professional image is important. You don’t want to look scruffy or incompetent but you do want to look open minded and flexible. The right office furniture can help you achieve the right effect on staff and clients alike. The success of an office can depend on its office furniture and design – image does count. And it’s also important to make office environments human as well as professional. Humanising an office will help create positive energy and reduce the risk of tension. Colours can inform a space; opting for office chairs and desks that aren’t cold and grey is one way of adding ambience.

Enhance Employees’ Creativity

The right office furniture can have a transformative effect on a workplace. Many experts in business such as author Charles Handy believe battery-farm style lay-outs can dull the human spirit. If you want to create a more creative, free-flowing, healthier and happier office it might be time to take a good look at your office furniture and how your desks are laid out.
