Office today: how does the managerial area change?

Today the way of furnishing an office has definitely changed compared to that of previous years. In fact, today’s offices are more modern, more essential and relaxing environments. These characteristics can be found within the operational spaces but can also be adopted to the rooms occupied by managers and executives. The desire, with regard to the choice of desks, chairs and office chairs, is to create an atmosphere of comfort. A conciliatory but at the same time dynamic mood, which can inspire those who work to produce more while remaining focused and available to deal with clients and colleagues.

The result of these new trends leads to the search for simplicity, which translates into the clean and subtle lines of the armchairs and furniture, giving a clean cut to furnishings made up of armchairs with large paddings, elaborate and big dimension furniture.

Workplaces are transformed into positions useful for comparison, spaces where communication, training and relationships between people reign. This is very important, especially as regards the offices of managers who, depending on the furniture, can go towards two types of trends, one more classic and one more modern.

Ufficio oggi come cambia l'area dirigenziale

Classical managerial offices

 When designing a managerial office, even today, one can opt for furniture that reflects a more classic style. Clearly this is a reinterpretation: no furniture that gives back a sense of heaviness but go-ahead to high quality and value materials with high technological performance, both for desks and wardrobes and in chairs, which will be upholstered in leather or in fine eco-leather . If the manager opts for a fabric chair, he will be able to choose between an optical or 3D print, which currently goes the most. The colors will always be sober and elegant: it is in any case the chair of someone who must transmit authority. At the same time, the objects and accessories that will be placed in a management office will be designed and studied in detail.

Companies that opt ​​for a classic style will still have several closed environments, compared to open space rooms; furnishings will still follow the hierarchical structure of the company reserving a higher profile furniture to the managerial environments

Modern managerial offices

The discussion changes if we want to create, within a company, a more modern office structure conceived according to a more “fluid” and less hierarchical idea of ​​work. For this type of structure, the organization of the spaces will follow this fluidity, so the environments will be designed to be places where you communicate, concentrate, get in touch and work together.

Here then are the open spaces, the co-working and the open managerial offices that can occasionally serve as meeting rooms, furnished more with the taste of practicality than luxury. At the same time the furniture will be multifunctional and even the office chairs will be selected based on their comfort.
Grendene, thanks to the experience in the field of office chairs, presents a huge selection of seats and armchairs perfect for management offices, be they classic or modern. Office chairs comfortable but with features of great elegance. The executive chairs are ideal for any type of manager, man or woman: successful figures who prefer practical yet refined furnishings, where every detail is taken care of in detail.

In conclusion, today the figure of the manager has definitely changed, as well as the furniture for the rooms that host it. It no longer needs a reserved space that isolates it compared to other colleagues, but a new environment, also furnished in a more classic way, adaptable to the needs and activities that must follow along with other workers. Today’s needs are no longer those of “commanding from above” but rather of collaborating, bringing together, transmitting knowledge and awareness. The watchword is therefore a connection, although with the necessary privacy that the figure and tasks of a manager require.
