How Do You Handle Making your Office Covid-proof?

History of the workplace in the office.

As the first beginnings of office work, you can consider the classic office clerk who had to do his work in an (often) dark and poorly ventilated space. Later this evolved
into a better workplace.

This led to spaces that were very strict and simply furnished. No frills, a simple layout of the space. Sturdy wooden furniture. Later the desks were made of steel (1950s and 1960s). In the 1970s the layouts became more playful and more color was introduced into the interior. A trend at that time was the creation of office gardens: large open spaces, plants and color brightened things up.

The office gardens were eventually succeeded by workplaces where people could work more individually: their own computer, their own telephone, etc. The atmosphere remained business-like (who doesn’t remember the gray/red anthracite office furnishing of the early 1990s). The hard colors were initially replaced by wood prints and more open layouts.

The future of your office furnishing:

The most recent developments can go in many directions. Just as in home furnishing, there is not one style that is implemented on a large scale, but several trends can be recognized. Think for example of: Industrial, eco style, classic, modern/sleek, etc. Much is possible, also the rise of decoration possibilities such as full-color wallpaper and walls with large images made the office an environment where people feel at home.

Due to Corona, however, everything has changed rapidly. Suddenly functional requirements are added to guarantee safety, we work much more from home, meet differently, etc.
