No office worthy of its title would be a credible, functional place of administration and so-called “white collar” work without furniture that has been designed and manufactured for its purpose. One or more commonplace household tables, chairs, storage units, and accessories generally fails to qualify as office furniture, which has its own unique and dedicated, niche purpose – to equip an industrious, productive, optimally performing team of workers.
Specific office furniture is required to fill each workplace, which may be categorised according to its occupants, their respective functions and duties, and the type of work that takes place in a variety of environments.

No one really knows when innovative people first started thinking about purpose-made office furniture, separate from the building’s other appointments and functions, but we do have some recorded information about possible origins of the separate workplace and items with which to render it useful and fit for purpose.
Back in the day, during medieval times, when European populations were illiterate, only the members of the noble classes and clergy were educated to read and write. Monks in monasteries created a desk-like item, a furniture piece, which they utilised as a work surface upon which to copy manuscripts. They named this “desk” the “scriptorium” (a place to write). As far as we know, this was the first purpose-made office furniture piece.
International trade and empire building were instrumental in the construction and establishment of office premises and built-for-purpose office blocks in 18th century Britain, notably those from which the Royal Navy and East India Company ran their enormous administrative functions. Respectively, these administrative headquarters were known as The Old Admiralty (Ripley Building), Somerset House, and the East India House.
One fact remains abundantly clear – nowadays, no matter how prestigious and famous business premises or the address and location may be, without office furniture, there is no active, functioning workplace, where the very essence, ambience, and workplace function is dependent on workers, suitably equipped with their office furniture.
