How to furnish the office

Comfortable and functional furnishings for those who work from home

Smart working has become an integral part of our daily lives. Many of us work from home and are looking for comfortable and functional seating for our home offices. If you're also looking for the perfect chair and haven't yet found the model that best suits your needs, then take a look at our office furniture! When you can't work in the office or if you've decided to work from home, we need to create a comfortable environment that will allow us to enjoy the same comfort and practicality found in a workplace.

How to create a work environment even at home

If you're among those who have decided, or are able, to work from home, one of the first things you need to do is create a suitable work environment. Of course, not everyone will have the space to fit the right office furniture into a spacious room, but even a well-organized corner can be an excellent compromise for a practical and comfortable space.

Those lucky enough to have an empty room can transform it into a real study, while those who don't have enough space can create their own work corner even in a specific area such as:

• An existing niche, a space created within a wall or partition that often already exists or can be created later. We'll place everything we need to work comfortably there.
• Under the stairs at home, if there's space, we'll create our own well-organized corner where we can work without being disturbed.

Based on the chosen location, we will choose the furnishings we need for work, of course, but also to furnish and make our workspace welcoming.

Essential furniture for working from home

Regardless of the space, we must carefully choose certain types of furniture that will be essential for our workspace. The must-haves for a small home office are:

• A desk, large or small, depending on your practical and space requirements. We recommend choosing a well-organized one with drawers and shelves.
• Small cabinets, or rather wall units, that aren't too large to store important work-related files and documents.
• A table lamp with a direct type of lighting to provide just the right amount of light without creating shadows on the workstation.
• Office chairs, essential seating that will allow us to work practically, comfortably, and without problems.

Ergonomic office chairs: what they are

Ergonomic office chairs adapt to the natural shape of the body without creating friction or strain. They are essential and useful for those who work long hours in front of a computer because they support the body in the right places and provide relief in areas that typically suffer from pressure from excessive sedentary behavior. An ergonomic chair provides proper support for the spine, thus preventing vertebrae from being compressed.

So what are the characteristics of these special office chairs? To be functional and suitable for the type of work, they must be:

• comfortable
• ensure correct posture
• easy to adjust
• reclining

Office chairs and comfort

Office chairs should be comfortable and have a spacious seat to allow us to sit comfortably and work without any restrictions. They will adapt to our bodies. Chairs by Olivo and Groppo, for example, are very comfortable: design, materials, and traditional tailoring blend together to create true masterpieces of craftsmanship, as well as practical seating. The padding allows the chairs to maintain their aesthetic characteristics over time. Furthermore, the armchairs are completely removable.

Office chairs for correct posture

An office chair will be suitable for our needs if, first and foremost, it allows us to maintain correct posture. How can we tell if the chair is ergonomic? The backrest is S-shaped, just like the structure of the spine. An ergonomic chair ensures correct posture and also allows for regular breathing, which, as we know, also helps us concentrate better.

The Varier Variable Balans chairs are incredibly original and embody all the latest innovations in ergonomic seating, perfect for both the office and study. The seat features a unique knee support that provides optimal comfort and promotes correct posture that doesn't strain the body, especially the back. This must-have product is ideal for those who spend most of their working hours sitting, often risking postures that, over time, could be detrimental to their health.

Easy-to-adjust office chairs

Office chairs are easy to adjust in height thanks to their special systems, allowing them to be perfectly adapted to anyone's needs. The backrest and armrests, if you choose a model that has them, can also be adjusted for maximum comfort.

Easy-to-reclining office chairs

Office chairs should be reclining because they allow us to improve our posture and position when needed, providing relief to all joints, not just the back. A reclining office chair accommodates all our movements, especially when we lean back and lean against the backrest, a simple gesture we perform several times throughout the day to relax our muscles.

A little curiosity about office chairs

Did you know that one of the first known innovators to create a sort of modern office chair was Charles Darwin? He added wheels to his chair in his study so he could reach his specimens as quickly as possible.

Office chairs: are those with wheels or without better?

But do office chairs necessarily have wheels? Certainly not. They're certainly more comfortable, but they can also be practical and functional without them.

In our catalog, you'll find several office chairs with multiple wheels, making them practical and allowing us to move from one area of our office or workspace to another without having to get up every time. There are also models without wheels, which, while they may seem less practical, are significantly more comfortable and stylish because they have a modern aesthetic that brings them closer to elegant, padded models.

Office chairs without wheels

Chairs without wheels are characterized by elegant lines, a modern profile, and sophisticated colors. They are highly versatile models that adapt to different furnishing styles. They can be placed in a study or in a dedicated space created specifically for our work area.
