Modern Office Furniture Styles – Thoughtful Blend of the Traditional and Contemporary

It is rather unfortunate to observe that interior decoration and office furniture layout of modern offices are being increasingly approached in a disjointed way. Most offices place bulk orders for furniture and then leave it to an interior decorator to set out the workplace. This approach is perhaps largely responsible for workplaces that seem one and the same. For instance, modern offices all over the globe now feature multiple cubicles instead of separate cabins. This mechanical trend also seems to adversely affect the vitality of a work place. With a little bit of creativity and layout-sense, you can easily make your office stand out from the rest.

While it might seem interesting to be part of an office interior design project, the task is also quite challenging. Every office layout – its interior décor and office furniture – represents the basic attitude, ideals and goals of the company. Hence each piece of office furniture and its position must be carefully planned to reflect the identity of the company. A well-furnished office with just the right number and style of furniture conveys the message that you mean serious business.

Wooden Office Furniture – All-Time Favorite

Many new offices prefer modern office furniture as they do not wish to seem outdated by featuring heavy, wooden furniture from the bygone decades. However, even in this era when modernistic style office furniture is the rage, wooden furniture is yet to be shown the way out. Solid, wooden office furniture has always been a symbol of class, quality and professionalism. A classic wooden desk with drawers and shelves is an excellent example of office furniture that can greatly enhance the grace of your office.

The craftsmanship of handcrafted wooden office furniture offers a visual treat to your clients and a revitalizing feeling to the staff. The staff will then begin to view their workplace in a new light and actually look forward to enjoy working in such an inviting atmosphere everyday. Such positive energy naturally results in increased productivity, goodwill and more business. Additionally, a careful blend of traditional, wooden furniture and contemporary, compact furniture can speak volumes about the reputation of an office.

Emerging Trends In Office Furniture

Some offices now consider the opinion of its staff before deciding on major office furniture purchases or office makeovers. This system allows employees to endow a personal touch to the workplace where they work day in and day out. But then, there is the issue of how each person views a particular setting. For instance, some people seem to have an idea that a messy office desk strewn with paper gives an impression of being really busy with projects. However, to most people, such an office setting stands for lack of planning and organizing ability.

Majority of the offices today go in for modernistic furniture that exudes a feeling of dynamism, progress and professionalism. In addition to the appealing looks, the sleek lines of contemporary office furniture layout also create an impression of elegance and class. Most importantly, the modernistic designs and themes strengthen a client’s decision to partner an office that is progressing towards the future.

I am looking to buy a mid-century modern dining room table.?

We recently purchased a 1950s ranch home. We are in the process of decorating and we are trying to go with an “atomic ranch” style decor. Can anyone point me in the direction of any mid-centry modern websites that might carry a dining set that is from this era? We have a few that we really like and obviously we troll the local shops and craigslistings, but just in case there’s something we missed any help would be much appreciated. thanks!

Santa Fe Modern Shaking it Up in New Mexico

Santa Fe architecture is a perennial favorite and an old standby. It’s just part of living here. It’s likely, however, that Santa Fe wouldn’t look like Santa Fe if the preservationist “Historic Styles Ordinance” hadn’t been passed in 1957. The ordinance draws a line around the historic downtown area in the city and dictates that all buildings within this 300 acre area adhere to certain design guidelines. If it’s in Santa Fe, it’s gotta look Santa Fe.

Looking Santa Fe

Pueblo revival and territorial revival styles are at the heart of the ordinance which favors vigas and canals, low flat roofs, earth toned faux-dobe, portals, and white window and door pediments. And while there’s a lot to be said for looking Santa Fe, the ordinance has been controversial since the day it was born. Critics say the rules have kept the majority of Santa Fe buildings from moving into the present and embracing the best of what modern style and architecture have to offer. They say that it’s effectively erased the evolving architectural history of the downtown core. They say it lacks character. Rather than applause for the role the ordinance has played in propagating a distinctive Santa Fe style, you’ll hear nothing but cries of “suffocating” and “backward” from this camp.

Looking Santa Fe With a Twist

Regardless of the bickering, the 400 year old city has marched ahead into the modern age as surely as any other American city. Lifestyles have changed, tastes have changed and people have continued to flock to Santa Fe for all of the things that make it a beautiful place to live. In spite of the strictest preservationists, Santa Fe has managed to develop new architectural style that marries Adobe Pueblo with Modernism and roots them both firmly in the present.

We call it Santa Fe Modern and it’s emerged as naturally from the landscape of New Mexico as any clay brick adobe house ever did. Taking cues from Frank Lloyd Wright’s prairie houses which were also built with clear horizons, giant skies and extreme temperatures in mind, Santa Fe modern is a perfect meeting of history and modern lifestyle. Reminiscent of the traditional Santa Fe style, but without the frou frou, Santa Fe modern is distinguished by clean lines, great use of light and shadow, dramatic angles and heavy use of stone. You’ll see lots of polished concrete in these buildings. Like the adobe homes that came before them, Santa Fe modern makes creative use of local materials. The color palette still contains plenty of earth tones but this style isn’t shy. You’ll also see buildings that take their colors from the brilliant Santa Fe sky, reminding us that blue, cobalt and crimson are desert colors too.

No Apologies

Though it’s unlikely the downtown core will be overtaken by a modern aesthetic any day soon, in the the areas that surround the historic district we’re seeing a new style emerge. For those that love the look of Santa Fe but also love modern architecture, Santa Fe Modern is a truly exciting regional style that acknowledges where it comes from while making no apologies for being a product of the present.
