Have you ever noticed that office furniture tends to be pretty consistent in design as you visit different offices throughout the city? Because the most common go-to solution is a large retail outlet with dozens of ready-made desks, chairs, and tables, we find that there isn’t a great deal of variation in design from one location to the next.
But what about your company? Are you different? Why settle for “more of the same” if you can create custom furniture that is tailor-made to fit your team’s needs? Here are six signs that you’re ready to take the leap into the land of custom furniture.
1. Your team has unique needs
If you run a team with more than five people, chances are, you are noticing that each team member has unique needs. If you run an organization with more than one team, chances are, each team has needs specific to their activities.
While salespeople may prefer smaller, flexi-desks that are available as they come and go, customer support teams may favor comfort and privacy, and marketing teams may prefer environments where they can easily communicate and work together. Customizing furniture to fit the unique needs of the individuals in your team is not only a way to show your employees that their comfort is important, it also allows for increased productivity.
2. Branding is important
For some companies, branding is everything. Google, for example, has built a strong reputation globally for having a world-class quirky office with unique amenities.
Can you imagine a Coca-Cola corporate office that isn’t tastefully adorned with red, white, and their iconic logo?
If you want to promote your brand identity to the market, it’s important that you bring that brand in house for your team to enjoy it and live it.
