How To Pimp Your Office Retro Style?

When you think of the word office what comes to mind? Grey, dull, unoriginal and probably some more gray… right? Considering we spend the majority of our waking hours within these four walls it’s kind of sad that most office environments leave us feeling so uninspired.

So what to do? While a burst of colour and some art deco furniture may not miraculously improve productivity they sure make going to work a more pleasant experience. And if people feel good about their surroundings it usually has a positive flow on effect to what they do within those surroundings….

So in no particular order, here are our top ideas to pimp your office retro style. Pumping some fun and colour into your workplace is a lot simpler and easier than you think.

1. The Ball chair.

The Ball chair has been described as a ‘room within a room’ so it’s perfect for those open plan offices lacking privacy for phone calls. Place a bright red funky ball chair in the middle of your office and create a talking point and cosy spot to talk all in one.

2. The Ball clock.

A refreshing alternative to the usual timekeepers and a nice match to your sparkling new ball chair.

3. Eames hang it all rack.

Say goodbye to that dull, black and boring freestanding coat rack and install the cool and classic Eames hang it all rack. Guaranteed to add some colourful spark to the corporate wardrobe.

4. Bean bags.

Easy, simple – always fun. Throw away the boardroom chairs and bring in the beanbags. Turn corporate brain strains into creative think tanks or at the very least inject some fun!

5. Noguchi coffee table.

Why not have your bean bags surrounding a Noguchi coffee table? The designer table that’s both sculpture and furniture. Sure to insert the wow factor for your next client meeting.

6. Egg and swan chairs.

If a move from boardroom chairs to bean bags is too much of a stretch why not check out some Egg and Swan chairs. No straight lines, only curves, the elegant and original style chairs will add some authentic spunk to the dullest of meeting rooms.

7. Miss K Table Lamp.

For all the night owls of your office, let them work in style by lighting their way with an ultra chic and stylish Miss K Table Lamp.

8. Perugia bar stools.

I know what you’re thinking… bar stools? In the office? If you’re serious about pimping out your office why not do away with the traditional (and boring) couch in the waiting area and build a coffee bar area. Clients and guests can pull up at the bar, grab a beverage, peruse a newspaper all while being comfortably seated in a stylish Perugia bar stool. And of course the whole set up becomes even more useful for Friday afternoon drinks…
