Fairs Out and about Workspace

Stylish office furniture where design meets functionality, comfort and sustainability at Orgatec.

Looking for stylish office furniture?

Then head to Orgatec in Cologne. It is an international B2B office furniture trade fair for the modern world of working environments.

Gone are the days of grey,  boring and soulless office furniture.

Now that people are heading back to working in offices, the workspace environment is even more important.

Colour was everywhere, and that filled me with joy.I wasn’t sure what to fully expect at Orgatec 2024 but the amount of stylish office furniture on display surpassed my expectations.

The fair was huge and filled with the latest innovations, trends and future solutions for the modern workplace.

I am welcoming this colourful transition, away from the neutral earthy tones of the Pandemic.

It’s now all about attracting people back to the workplace, creating vibrant, fun andhappy spaces but still with comfort in mind. Alongside the bright and happy Summer colours, there was also a lot of deep Burgundy hues.

Shades of Burgundy and reds are very much this season’s colour trend which I absolutely adore. Despite the emphasis being on encouraging people back to the office, I believe working from home will still remain.

stylish office furniture at OrgatecAt least 6-7 years ago, I found it difficult to find office chairs that were both stylish and comfortable.

I must admit I did splash out on a Vitra Eames soft pad office chair for the home office. It was expensive but the only stylish one I could find.

Orgatec has shown me that the lack of office chair design and comfort is now a thing of the past.Design married with sustainability, ergonomics and comfort is the DNA of this Klober Co meet chair.It’s noteworthy that Orgatec was not all about stylish office furniture, but there were some beautiful lighting solutions on show too.

This is the Nova lamp from Humanscale and is a super smart glare free light giving uniform and accurate colour rendering.

Great for online calls and selfies and there’s even a device charging component too.

The Spot light above inspired by a coffee machine is by Pascal Hien at Le Klint lighting.

The head of the lamp is adjustable via a wood lever and is mountable. simple but functional and beautiful.

Hope you have enjoyed this brief look into the world of stylish office furniture at Orgatec. If you are in the furniture business, then I highly recommend taking a look at Orgatec for next year.
