Companies are also being drawn to modular furniture amid increased demand from employees to raise health and wellbeing standards. These quality-of-life issues have become top priorities for office workers, even above their salary, according to JLL’s 2022 Workforce Preferences Barometer.

“With office fit-out now evolving to support both high performance work and employee wellbeing, we have seen the emergence of homely ‘resimercial’ furniture and design layouts,” says Betty Surgis, Tétris Head of Furniture Solutions EMEA.

“This puts people first by mixing domestic interiors with traditional workplace aspects, making the office a comfortable ‘home from home’ and producing collaborative and agile spaces that people want to spend time in.”

It’s a concept that can be seen in abundance in the UK office of global tech firm, Campaign Monitor, where flexibility and comfort is key. Multi-use areas feature tables in interesting shapes which can be reconfigured through linking elements and moved on castors.

Once again, modular seating comes into its own, offering employees choice by dividing spaces into zones for different types of work, or intimate private areas for informal chats or focused reading. What’s more, these spaces can easily accommodate later changes in office culture and are endlessly configurable as teams shrink, expand or move.
