Working From Home Safely

With times changing and many of us now having to spend more time working from home, it is essential that we revisit the productivity of our home work spaces.

Do you have a “Workplace” at home? Is it well equipped and organised? Can you move freely around it and does it provide convenient storage?
Most importantly, can you sit and work comfortably for long periods of time?

Pulling out a dining chair might seem like the easy option but good posture is a must and this is impossible without the correct seating.

Creating an attractive workspace and changing the way we work from home will not only improve mood and productivity, it is necessary for our health. If your employer requires you to work from home, they still have a Duty of Care and a Responsibility to ensure your health and safety.

We specialise in providing solutions for Home Workers and Small Home Based Businesses, and have found that furniture requirements differ enormously.
You may need a place to catch up with emails quickly or need to position a stylish workstation amongst living space, no two spaces are the same and we can office guidance and advice on what can be achieved within your home and your budget.

New Office Project in Brighton (130)

Today we will take a look at one of the largest installations we’ve completed in recent years, undertaken in a few phases. Starting with the first floor in October 2019, continuing with the second floor early 2020 and finally reconfiguring some of the existing furniture on the third floor, as lockdown restrictions were eased and it was safe for our team to do so.

The design for this project evolved from an initial brief from the customer’s American architects and designers, based on plans from their other international offices. We interpreted this and presented several different product options. AJ took samples of the short-listed furniture to the site to showcase possible solutions for the customer and their architects to select from.

Assmann bench desks were chosen, which are electrically height adjustable, allowing the staff to alternate between sitting and standing to work. There were nearly 300 workstations installed, along with metal mobile pedestal drawer units fitted with bespoke seat cushions for those occasional visitors. The customer also evaluated 4 different office chairs before deciding on Wagner ergonomic seating. The vibrant colours for this project were based on the company’s corporate colours.

As well as furnishing the offices, the staff break-out room was also completed to the same high standard with a combination of dark grey café tables and metallic seating making the environment fresh and light, perfect for the staff to take time away from their desks.

The highlight of this job has to be the bespoke reception desk. We were sent an image of a similar desk from an overseas office, which the customer wanted to replicate here. Working with our specialist suppliers, we were able to provide this amazing, stylish reception desk, with a solid wood ‘surfboard’ counter top, created from multiple sections of different timbers. The users side features a height adjustable section and the reception front was completed with a wave design vinyl wrap to the architect’s design. A really spectacular image for visitors to be welcomed by when entering their building.

Leather Ergohuman Chair

Supportive Office Chairs for Home

We were contacted by a customer last week who wanted advice on which chair would suit his particular requirements for his Home Office. After discussion it was decided that he would be best suited to an Ergohuman Ergonomic Mesh Chair, of which we have sold around 400. In fact we had delivered a leather version for a customer’s home office that same day.

Break Out Room Furniture

We were briefed by our customer who wanted to update the current managers room into a more suitable breakout area.

We proposed a couple of options and agreed that the best solution would be our Box Reception Seating. We installed two single and one double box sofa, in a Just Colour faux leather material in colour “Jazzberry” along with a Box Frosted Glass Coffee



To utilise the whole area properly and to give the room a more sociable feel we also supplied two Sitness 5 Fitness Stool’s with Integrated Exercise Ball in black.

Our customer was very pleased with the final result, and left us some very positive feedback:
“Just to let you know everyone at D*** are all really so pleased with the office furniture it has really helped us to utilise our office space better.”
