Stop a moment and consider this simple question – what is an office without its furniture? – and by that we mean furniture that was designed and made for its function and its place in the office. One answer is likely to be given repeatedly by many (probably most) people: “nothing”.
It is simply a bare, cold, or too hot (possibly stuffy) empty room or set of rooms, an indoor space and place that is devoid of any meaning or meaningful administrative workplace activities, signs of productive enterprise, character, ambience, or inviting appeal. It might be any room in any building, used for any purpose or none at all, simply sitting there, waiting for human occupation.
The picture does not improve particularly much if one adds random furnishings that were not designed for an office. Whilst it is true that tables are not altogether unlike desks, all chairs offer individual seating, and shelves, drawers, and cupboards are used to provide neat, orderly storage solutions, and those that are specifically manufactured for office use are easily distinguished.
Along with an organisation’s most important asset, its personnel, it is the office furniture that gives the workplace meaning and practical, efficient functionality.
Bespoke workspace in office buildings may be costly, usually reckoned according to the square meterage occupied by each concern, irrespective of whether the space is bought or rented. Because all overhead costs affect that all-important bottom line – profitability – companies will avoid paying for unutilised, wasted space for which they have no use and that they do not require.
Instead, it makes financial and practical sense to ensure that virtually every metre of workspace is utilised effectively. This is why our company, Quantum Office Furniture, includes space planning in our list of optional additional services, although the supply of extensive ranges of attractive modern pieces remains our core business activity.
A modern office is much more than a place to house one’s employees while they perform the tasks required of them. Both internally and externally, your office and its furniture speaks volumes about your attitude to business, the concern’s brand, corporate image, and company culture.
Any old arrangement of any old odd furniture pieces detracts from all these very important elements and may also negatively impact on staff turnover, morale, performance, and productivity. Once again, the bottom line cannot be overlooked either. An “any old this and that is good enough” approach will not do, and in the long run, is highly unlikely to be cost-effective.
For this and many other reasons, Quantum Office Furniture specialises in the sourcing and supply of great collections of furniture options, all specifically designed for today’s attractive yet fully functional workplace. We offer choices galore to meet all budgets, based on your selection from our suppliers’ options.
For your convenience and virtually everything you may need for your workspace (and your valued personnel), our pieces are broadly categorised as follows on our website, in alphabetical order and under the “Office Furniture” link:
We have also included a section that incorporates décor and leisure pieces to complement and complete the appealing, practical, and welcoming picture:
For the benefit of our customers, who may have existing pieces in good condition that they would like to upgrade and update to match or complement their new office furniture, we also offer professionally executed reupholstery services in your choice of fabric.
Additionally, we undertake the installation of our products, according to your specific plan and workspace setup. Having a one-stop, specialised vendor and supplier makes significant sense on many levels, all of which contribute to the optimal function of the workplace.
Although Quantum Office Furniture is based in Benoni in the East Rand, we supply and install our products nationwide. Within Johannesburg, our delivery and installation services are complementary – free of charge. Further afield, we try to keep these optional extra costs as reasonable and low as possible.
In the Johannesburg area, we deliver (and install) products which we hold in stock within three to five working days of confirmed receipt of order. We always attempt to keep turnaround times as tight as is possible.
When you are excited about receiving your new office furniture from Quantum Office Furniture, we strive to make your workplace dreams a rapid reality.
