Getting the Right Corporate Furniture to Match Your Company's Ethos

I walked by an antique dealer a few days ago, and the owner was outside sanding down the metal rim of an old spring-bed. There's something about sanding, the sound it makes, the care, the repetitive action that appeals to me. If you're looking to release some of your work-stress, try composing music or sanding for a few hours every day and people will probably comment on how Zen you are.

Today, more and more companies are looking to conjure up images of well-being in their client's minds. It's a form of emotional marketing really. Companies want to put their clients in a mind-space, where doing business together not only makes sense, but feels good. This has contributed to significant portions of annual budgets being invested in, for example interior design, feng-shui consultants and top-of-the-art stereo systems and computer equipment.

The latest trend is customized furniture in the NY Long Island and Queens area. The logic is simply why not create the office space environment that really matches your company's ethos and vision. If you're going for the trendy, young-and-happening feel of an up-start company, you want this reflected in the furniture. It wouldn't make sense for the clients to sink into low-seater sofas, while the staffs are buzzing around with uncurbed energy. You'd possibly want high-level drafting tables where your clients have to stay standing to go over a few plans. And if you want your clients to walk away feeling they are dealing with a company that has been operating for years, you're more likely to want a mahogany board room table.

I have two friends that run a multi-media company, who've created a great office space. For starters, you walk in the door, and everything is high-tech. The tables are long oblong drafting tables where the team meets on a regular basis to go over their projects and share ideas. Then you've got the long sink-to-the-ground sofa right by the coffee machine. As soon as you sit down, you switch into recharge mode, but you're fully aware it's a deliberate breather before the next brainstorm session.

If you're looking to un-conventionalize your office space, have a re-think about your furniture. Contact a team of architectural craftsmen with your own design ideas. It's an experience that may change how you do business, because you'll be working one-on-one with design consultants who listen first.
