Chairs for smart working and home offices

A panoply of chairs, channelling form and function, geared to best organising our workstations, integrating beautifully designed, comfortable solutions boasting innovative material
Once the summer holidays are over, it’s all systems go, with September now known as the month of new beginnings, whether they be personal or work-based. The world of work, in any case, is in constant evolution, which therefore also has a bearing on the look of its spaces.
The term ‘smart working’ has slotted into our vocabulary over the last few years as a synonym for flexibility and convenience: home working has driven the debate on the ongoing transformations in the way we work. The companies have taken these transformations on board in an ongoing endeavour to combine new modes of in-person and remote working.
Well-organised, fitting workstations help to optimise the domestic space with solutions that chime with the style of the home, dialoguing harmoniously with its materials and colours. That’s not all, however: when creating dedicated workspaces, it makes sense to opt for carefully designed, comfortable chairs that ensure correct posture. When it comes to materials, chairs for today’s home office explore hitherto unthought-of possibilities, with modern, low environmental impact materials that testify to the brands’ ongoing commitment to sustainability – from FSC certified wood to recycled post-consumption plastic.
