EGHAM, England - May 17, 2019 - s4story -- Metric Office Furniture Ltd was launched in 1970 with the principal aim to create happy working environments on time and on budget. The company has evolved over the last, almost 50 years, but remains family-owned and has become the highly reputable, forward-thinking, fit-out and refurbishment office furniture company that it is today.

Jason Hart, the Managing Director of Metric Office Furniture says "We are proud of our long list of loyal customers and grateful for lots of very welcome recommendations. Our customers come back to us because we always deliver over and above their expectations – on-time, on budget and with a smile!"

Office Furniture has changed over the years, the way in which we work today is already dramatically different to what it was just a few years ago, and if the latest research is anything to go by, it's only going to continue to change as time goes on. So is the desk is dead? Metric Office Furniture doesn't think so.
For decades the desk has provided a personal space for concentration and productivity. It has undergone changes in shape, size and design but ultimately it still provides the same function.
Open-plan office environments and 'collaborative spaces' are industry buzzwords, but bring with them the challenge of noise and distraction.
Metric Office Furniture wholeheartedly embraces and promotes the benefits of collaborative, creative working, which is why they design and deliver stylish and clever ways to enhance the working environment. By using innovative use of acoustic panelling and screening to create quiet areas for focused, concentrated thought, they are creating the 'Get away from it all' individual space and combining the best of both worlds.
So the desk is not dead. It has just evolved!
