OFFICE FURNITURE
A package for the complete office can be prepared using only the most reputable furniture manufactures and tailored to your particular needs.

Back in the 1960s Bürolandschaft came to the UK and within a few years, work-stations, acoustic screens and potted plants became the norm. We called it Office Landscaping - simply translated - and designers and architects everywhere took it to their hearts. There were some early problems, however. Among these were ambient noise nuisance, poor ventilation (many more smoked in those days) and, with the need to avoid cables spreading all over the floor, a lack of flexibility. The latter particularly as computers began appearing in larger and larger numbers. These problems, of course, were resolved quite quickly and today we take them in our stride. By "we" in this instance, it is meant the design teams that were engaged.

Over the last few decades Britefox Limited has learned a great deal about open plan offices, especially when it comes to choosing furniture. The ability to easily and quickly relocate a work-station was one of the first priorities all those years ago, and the industry was not slow in coming up with some answers. There is now a mind boggling array of options with just about every circumstance catered for. Just another good reason to engage a team of experts to help you decide. Your Britefox Team will do all the leg-work, bringing together plans and specifications to present a variety of suggestions from which you can make an informed choice.

A few examples: no manager today is unaware of the health factors governing working conditions. This is particularly true when it comes to posture. Many workers spend hours sitting at a desk unknowingly injuring themselves through bad posture. For this reason, chairs and desks must be suited to the task and adjustable to suit different people.

There is also a less obvious aspect - although very obvious if you happen to be affected. It is status. Like the civil servant's 80 square feet of carpet and 100 square feet for his boss, the quality of furniture can become an issue that may need careful thought. If your company has a visible pecking order, do you buy cheap and work your way up, or do you buy the best and work your way down?

While such decisions are tailored to individual circumstances, your Britefox Team is experienced in all such sensitive areas and can help you make your choice from a detached perspective.

Finally, it is generally accepted among the design fraternity that the executive suite - boardroom and so on - is of the same standard of decor as the office's Reception area. This means special care needs to be taken in designing these two areas. It is not good practice to have one or the other inferior in quality. Visitors, especially clients, are comfortable not noticing any difference, but should a marked difference exist, the effects can be very negative. Your Britefox Team will provide several ideas for you to avoid this problem.
