Office Furniture How we can add value to your office space

Quantum’s Quality Contract Office Furniture

The ranges of furniture on offer by retailers, suppliers and manufacturers in South Africa are extensive, so much so that it has become necessary to divide this sector’s products into different categories. Simply referring to “furniture” per se, (without grouping and naming the types, designs, styles and usage), no longer serves to indicate what, where, for whom and for which purpose pieces are intended, because there is so much on offer.

 

Types, Styles and Typical Areas of Use

Some of the most popular and frequently requested types, styles and areas for which furniture is acquired include:

• Office – the formal workplace, our primary speciality at Quantum Office Furniture
• Boardroom – likewise, as state above, since the boardroom and its furnishings are integral components of workplace setups
• Canteen
• Residential or household
• Auditorium and theatre seating
• Contract – an interlinked division of the industry in which Quantum Office Furniture also has a fundamental interest, as reflected by the products we offer and the market sector we serve
• Antique

Office Furniture

Desks and chairs are probably the most obvious items that come to mind when furnishing a workspace. However, a company, like Quantum that specialises in catering for this market – offers a great deal more.

• Desks or desking solutions – clusters, executive, managerial and/or secretarial staff, for the home office and call centres
• Chairs – economy, managerial personnel, executives, posture-supporting ergonomic designs, draughtsmen, typists, operators, heavy duty use, training room, space-saving stackable seating solutions, fixed seating in an auditorium setting
• Pedestals
• Credenzas
• Filing cabinets
• Bookshelves
• Storage units and cupboards
• Boardroom tables – with veneer or laminate finish
• Coffee tables
• Canteen or staff restaurant tables and chairs – easy to clean hygienically, and maintain in pristine condition
• Bar and/or entertainment areas
• Reception counters
• Reception couches – designed for high-use sturdiness and durability – more so than in similar residential products, and also combined with comfort
• Wall units
• Screens – floor or desk-based, or secured to the floor with Velcro. Glass desk-based options and static screens are also available from Quantum
• Accessories to compliment the workplace include blinds and rugs

 

In addition to our ranges of quality cutting-edge office furniture that feature a modern take on somewhat more classic designs, we also supply lightweight, yet robust and sturdy super modern products that may be mixed and matched to create a fun, funky, colourful or coordinated, warm and welcoming workplace.

This truly represents the inviting vibe that many a modern company seeks to create in the 21^st century. This is a time when it’s not necessary to be surrounded by heavy, dark appointments to generate a seriously committed attitude towards the serious side of business, productivity, performance and workplace ethics.

 

The Contract Market

Unless you are or have been involved in manufacturing, supplying or buying contract furniture, you may not be aware of the exact meaning of this term. One definition states that it means “any furniture that is designed and manufactured for commercial installation in offices, waiting rooms, lobbies, and other public or high-use spaces”.

Although contract furniture may appear to be similar in construction to pieces that are sold for domestic applications, the focus on the construction of the former items does differ, because special care and special types of frames and materials like high density foam and very durable fabrics are required for high-use appointments.

Aspects that are considered in the design and production of contract furniture that are taken into account may include:

• Height and the ratio of respective floor – seat:- desk – heights, to promote a healthy working posture
• Depth of seats – important for the correct support of legs, hips and lower back
• Furniture size, designs and materials that are suitable for the available space in the office, in conjunction with the number of people to be accommodated. This is particularly important during the current prevention and social distancing protocols pertaining to curtailing the spread of coronavirus.

 

Professional space planning, plus professional installation may be required, but that’s no problem if you purchase your contract office furniture at Quantum, since these are additional services on offer to our customers. We are passionate about our customers, service excellence and our products. We look forward to providing you with the Quantum customer experience.
