The Office Furniture Heaven Blog
Inspiration comes from many places. Read about some of the things that excite us.
Time flies! This year, Office Furniture Heaven celebrates its 29th year in office furniture. Since our office opened in 1991, we’ve definitely seen it all. From the transformation of technology beginning with the rise of the Information Age/ Dot-Com Boom to the Wellness and Collaborative Office movement taking place in offices today.
For some fun, we’ve decided to take a quick step into our Office Furniture Time Machine and take you back to how offices were like in 1991. From floppy disks to the beige furniture, it’s up to you to decide whether you love or hate these offices of the 90’s!
In the last few months, our experienced team of Sales Executives and Designers has been busy at work creating truly beautiful and outstanding office design solutions for our clients. Of the highlighted projects in this post, we recently furnished L.H. Frishkoff & Company, Foley Mansfield, the Dearie Law Firm, as well as multiple offices for a prominent NYC landlord.

On September 17th, 2019, OFH CEO Marc Schwartzberg moderated at a panel, “Adaptive Footprint: Next-Generation Workplace Strategy & Office Design” at RETHINK OFFICE: NEW YORK’S SEPTEMBER 17TH, 2019 EVENT. The event covered important topics the NYC commercial real estate market is faced with from office building design and cost saving initiatives, to workplace strategy and data.
Commercial real estate brokers in New York City have a particularly challenging job. They are tasked with finding great space options for reasonable prices and convincing tenants to close on offers. It’s a competitive market and getting a potential tenant to decide on a space can be a tough go. That is why at OFH we provide complimentary design services and personal assistance to our broker partners to help make the decision-making process easier.
When you walk into a well-designed office with quality furniture, there’s an immediate emotional impact. The look of your office shows that you have made an investment in your company. The high standards you placed in growing your business can be seen throughout your entire office. The office furniture is well-designed, is strongly-built—your team feels great, and they are excited to work in their beautiful and healthy office. At OFH, we believe in going the extra mile to ensure that the offices we design are built to last because we know that quality furniture makes a difference.
This summer, we’re seeing a lot of new office furniture designs that are getting us excited. 2019 has been the year of the flexible office, and the office furniture that overtook Neocon and other major design fairs this spring directly responded to the need for more flexibility in shared environments: more defined lounge areas, combined with a reclamation of ‘private spaces’ in the form of office phone booths, glass-enclosed spaces, and noise-insulating technology. While 2017 was the year for improving wellness at work, the flexible office trend directs its attention to office furniture and design as a primary way to decrease distractions and make working a better experience for everyone. In this blog, we will focus on some of our office furniture finds that best represent this growing trend.
