Office Furniture Companies offer a Multitude of Home Office Options – Part 2
Techline, being a leader in state of the art production of office and home furniture, has researched what it is exactly people that want. “The way people work changes, and they want furniture that can change with them. They’ll buy a modular piece or two and come back a few years later to add something else, and they want it all to fit and work together.” Nichols explained further.
Many other office furniture manufacturers began surfacing with the Techline principle in mind. At this spring’s High Point, N.C. international home furnishings market, manufacturers unveiled new home office furnishings that are flexible and adaptable, while managing to look attractive in a room.
The Cobble Hill laptop cocktail table was introduced by Riverside Furniture. It features a classic coffee table styling in black or white finish, but a portion of the tabletop glides out to serve as a laptop surface. Also included in the Cobble Hill design are storage space for files, printer or scanner and a power port in the storage space. The company additionally introduced a barrel roll top desk in a medium-distressed black finish that is roomy enough for electronics. On the other hand, Sligh Office Furniture plays off affluent English manor living. Their Tahoe collection includes two pedestal desks, a credenza, file cabinet and bookcase. An upscale collection, “Mira,” features Neoclassic designs highlighted in mahogany and silver-pearl finish hardware. Features include built-in surge suppressor and docking ports for computers, cameras and other electronics.
Household brand Broyhill Furniture has expanded their best-selling furniture collections by adding home office groups to each. Executive desks, credenza desks, credenza hutches and lateral files add more function without losing style.
Also at the home furnishings market are Lane Home Furnishings and Hooker Furniture. Hooker’s “Smart Hutch” sits atop the “Danforth” home office desk and has two interchangeable box drawers, one for electrical outlets and power charging stations. Roll-top designs also are making a comeback at Hooker, roomy enough to keep laptops and flatscreen monitors hidden while Lane has added a writing desk to their National Geographic Home Collection, “Italia,” that would make a good home for a wireless laptop, while Stanley’s new “Sunset Key” collection offers an oval desk with pedestal base and cherry veneer top.
