What are the office furniture categories in South Korea?

The major categories are office desks, ergonomic chairs, modular workstations, executive furniture, conference tables, storage units, partitions, sofas, reception furniture and collaborative workspace furniture.

Modular systems are especially important for companies which require changing the layouts according to changes in the teams and working process. Hence, manufacturers have started producing systems which can be easily reconfigured, extended and combined with other configurations of workplace.

Office ergonomics is becoming an increasingly important factor due to the fact that employees spend lots of time sitting at their desks and computer stations. Ergonomic office chairs which are adjustable, office desks with proper height settings and monitor positions will help employers provide more comfortable working environment.

This concept is regulated by the Ministry of Employment and Labor of South Korea, whose flexible-work manual describes how companies should arrange their working arrangements and meet workplace requirements.

Such approach can raise the need for the furniture allowing changing office space configuration. It includes mobile partitions, modular desks, height-adjustable tables, collaborative seating, flexible storage and many other types of furniture, which allow changing office layout depending on changing work patterns.

Several factors, such as office constructions, companies' investments, workspace redesigns, businesses start-ups, business relocation and changes in working arrangements, drive demand. Companies update their old office furniture periodically when offices are redesigned or reorganized.
