Setting up a home office comes with the dual challenge of creating a space that is comfortable and conducive to productivity, as well as visually attractive so that it integrates well into your home.
Nobody likes to see a space – even if it’s a dedicated room that can be closed shut – that’s overwhelmingly cluttered and disorganised. And neither is that helpful for achieving a satisfactory day of work. Which makes your choice of furniture for a home office a process that requires careful consideration.
As part of our collaboration with Form – whose many brands range from affordable luxury to the high-end – we’ve selected a range of pieces, from tables and chairs to shelving solutions, designed with comfort and style in mind.
Araxi by Kave Home
This slim desk with a rattan back by Kave Home, composed of solid ash wood and veneer, could easily double up as living room furniture. It includes a push-to-open drawer, a storage compartment in the lower section to maintain neatness, and adjustable feet for a perfect setting.
Note by Molteni&C
With Note, upscale Italian brand Molteni&C designed a desk that is a visually striking contemporary product with the essential characteristics of a practical piece. The top part of the desk features two trays carved into the wood surface and covered in saddle leather, displaying a refined and technical aesthetic.
Rose by Natuzzi
The fabric-upholstered Rose chair by Natuzzi is inspired by floral forms combined with modern lines. The internal structure, composed of metal tubing, is padded with high-quality polyurethane which, combined with a slightly curved backrest, gives the chair an additional layer of comfort.
Bundy Pegboard by Zuiver
The playful Bundy Pegboard by Zuiver is designed as a noticeboard for useful reminders as well as a display for personal highlights which can be rearranged in a way that best suits its user. The bamboo shelves, hooks and magnets can be shifted around, allowing for personalisation and an ever-changing display.
D.847.1 by Molteni&C
With its superior level of craftmanship, it’s no wonder that the D.847.1 console table – reborn by Molteni&C in collaboration with the Gio Ponti Archives – remains iconic more than 70 years after its original release. The curved ends and rounded drawer underscore the legendary designer’s skill and innovative methods.
Twigs by Bonaldo
This modern bookcase by Bonaldo could work as a display unit in the living room as much as it would as a book case in a study. Twigs’ design plays on the contrast between geometric order, dictated by the horizontal wooden shelves, and natural randomness, demonstrated by the irregularly-placed metal tubes that conjure to mind the image of reeds swaying in the wind.
Octavia by Kave Home
Forming part of the Octavia collection by Kave Home is this ash plywood shelf that draws the eye with its curved design. It’s also a picture of versatility – place it in the bedroom for your books, or fix it to the wall behind your desk for easy access to handy office essentials that you’d rather keep off your working surface.
Omega by Natuzzi
With its marble top – also available in precious gold calcatta – that sits upon an elegant metal frame, the slender Omega desk, designed by architects Tapinassi and Manzoni for Natuzzi, is a decorative piece as much as it is functional. The optional drawer is available in a selection of lacquers, perfect for stowing stuff away when you want the desk to transform into a console.
Tissiana by Kave Home
An essential part of any office set-up is a comfy chair and, more often than not, a swivel seat or wheeled frame is favoured over one without. This bucket design by Kave Home features an aluminium frame with a matte black finish and a choice of seat covers, including dark grey fabric and brown faux leather.
Kaat by Zuiver
Charming and practical, the Kaat desk by Zuiver is described as a remake of a classic, fitted with all modern-day requirements. Composed of oak veneer and rubber wood, it provides plenty of storage with its three discreet shelves on top – as well as a middle shelf with a built-in opening to organise cables – and two handy drawers underneath.
