Little did we know that in 2020 our world would be faced with a pandemic of such unimaginable proportions. For a while, the whole world came to a complete standstill, and work as we knew it came to a grinding halt. The rate of infection began to grow and people were forced to stay indoors as far as possible. Education and work suffered tremendously, as all affairs had to be moved to online platforms to keep the chances of spreading the virus to the absolute minimum possible. Working from home became the new normal except for those people who were engaged in professions that necessitated physical presence or outdoor activities, such as delivery, construction, healthcare, transport, etc.
Even though the world showed signs of recovery, we are stuck in the middle of the second (and in some places, even the third) wave today, and it is still hard to tell when we would all be able to return to our pre-pandemic world lives.
But even as the world limps and crawls back to life the way we knew it, how will the office spaces of the future look and feel like? One thing is for sure, until the global pandemic is well and truly behind us, people will continue to prefer working from home, and will likewise be extremely wary of being around many people in a confined space, despite there being precautions in place.
What is actually needed now, in preparation for a post-pandemic world, is a rethink of the entire office space altogether. User needs have changed tremendously over the past year and a half, and redesigning office spaces in keeping with the “new normal”, at least for the time being until things truly do return to normal, is essential. Things like modern office table design, and a layout that lets people interact while maintaining adequate physical distance are what people are looking for.
It is well known that furniture forms the backbone of any living space. Furniture is what essentially gives character and a personality to such a space, whether it is a residence, a school or an office. The choices one makes when it comes to outfitting such spaces are what define their character, such as a designer lounge chair, ergonomic computer chairs, sleek storage cabinets and many more. It is these choices that go a long way in making employees feel safe, secure, comfortable and committed to doing their work. In turn, this will help to promote a more positive environment at work, and will also improve productivity in the long term.
One of the more popular choices for designing modern office spaces nowadays is modular furniture. Modular furniture has become increasingly popular because it can be modified, adjusted and tailored specifically to meet the unique requirements of every organisation in such a way that it makes optimal use of space that is available.
Modular office furniture is an excellent choice for the future workplace where people will prefer a workspace setup that facilitates work with the flexibility to interact with people while also maintaining a sense of spaciousness, as people will tend to avoid crowded spaces.
