The perfect desk should definitely be spacious, durable, not too delicate and at the right height, so work at the computer while maintaining a correct posture.

Curiosity on the desk: ideal positioning, materials and dimensions

Surely laterally to the windows, so as to avoid annoying reflections of natural light, which could disturb and blur during the working hours.

The design of the desk also has its importance: material, style and size must be chosen carefully according to the result you want to achieve.

The most popular material is still wood with a lacquered surface, which thanks to its soft lines and its natural resistance give our work area a unique and comfortable character.

As in the case of our Atollo desk, with metal frame and poplar wood top, painted with a veil with an excimer finish that gives it great resistance to scratches and abrasions.

The most comfortable size for a company office is the rectangular one because, being developed in length, it has a smaller footprint and gives us the possibility to have plenty of space available to lean on all the items we need: from computer to printer, from pen holder to notepad.

How to better organize your desk?

It is very simple! The important thing is to keep at hand only what is really necessary and eliminate all those unnecessary accessories and furnishings that can distract us.

To plan accurately the shared spaces in which to store documents, folders and files you can think of creating a single wall of shelves and divide each area with a different color, so that you immediately see the exact location of the material that we need or that needs to be stored.

In the individual workstations, instead, it is possible to insert, in addition to the drawers, individual shelves where employees can store their personal documents, or decorate the walls of their work area with a few maps, a souvenir photo or a souvenir dear to them.

Decorate your office with eye-catching and versatile accessories

Accessories also make a difference in a company office: they give a modern and personalized touch and create a welcoming and family atmosphere, in which employees and customers can feel welcomed like home.

The lights must be positioned correctly: they must adequately illuminate not only personal desks, but also corridors, meeting rooms and sharing areas such as the company canteen and the areas dedicated to the break.
