More and more companies are looking at space saving designs for desking systems in offices.  This Singapore company have developed a system that claims to reuse 70% of the same components with multiple desk spaces - interesting idea!

We have offered beam and cantilever desking systems for a long time now, with the ability to have multiple desks with the use of a small number of legs, so it will be interesting to see if this companies way of desking will compare.

The Ergonomic Office

The Ergonomic Desk
According to the survey results, 86% of office workers do not have an ergonomic keyboard, with 69% of those workers reporting some degree of wrist strain.
The modern office worker can spend eight or more hours a day in front of the computer, so selection and correct usage of keyboards, mice, and desktop accessories is exceedingly important.

This report was conducted by Staples - the office stationary company - and it talks of all the important elements of ergonomics for offices.  One thing it failed to mention which is also popular is height adjustable desks, giving multiple uses and increased modifications for specific user sizes and shapes.

Chinese New Year Tests Industrys Ability to Plan Ahead

For the furniture industry, this mass migration is always a period of anxiety that has companies asking, "Will my goods ship before or after Chinese New Year?" If the answer is after, that leads many to wonder when their goods actually will ship, given that many workers dont return to the factories after the holiday.

I have just come across this article and although the Chinese New Year is now over, it is always interesting to see how companies deal with Chinese manufacturers that will shut down over this period, often for between 1 and 2 weeks.

Over the years we have learnt to plan ahead to stop our usually regular orders from disappearing over this period, which means over ordering for the period well before the shut down to enable it to leave the country before it grinds to a halt for the festivities.

In the hot seat!

...And thats what American office furniture and equipment brand Herman Miller has been trying to disseminate by breaking the image of the ‘lush chair in the Indian corporate world with chairs that look like skeletons, ribs et al, but are an absolute treat to sit on.

via Business Line : Features / BrandLine : In the hot seat!.

Great news for the Indian manufacturing industry that such a big chair brand in Herman Miller has began to put their trust in the production with them.  We have worked with a number of Indian manufactures in the past and they are definitely ones to watch out for in the future for manufacturing industries across the World.

3 reasons for using folding tables


  1. The most popular use of folding tables is for weddings – and no wedding is complete without a reception.   It is becoming a lot more common to hold wedding receptions in gardens using marquees keeping venue costs down.  Any marquee for events such as this will require furniture, and more often than not these are heavy duty folding plastic tables with simple table cloths to cover the hardwearing surface.  Folding plastic tables are often made of a steel structure which makes them ideal for larger tables to sit more people around.

  2. Another popular use for folding tables is corporate events such as conferences and exhibitions.  Plastic tables with folding legs are easy to stack on top of each other, so they become perfect for transporting to exhibitions and trade fairs.  They can be assembled in seconds and due to the durable nature of the tables they can have a variety of uses from displaying products on or used to have meetings with clients.

  3. Garden parties and BBQ’s are also great places for folding tables to be used.  Folding tables can be picked up and moved with ease, as well as being left out in the rain which is handy in the UK! The great thing about the durability of these folding tables is the wipe clean surface, so after a BBQ you can quickly wipe away all the leftovers with ease.
