Planning guides and buying advice
What we have learned from furnishing offices in Nairobi. Written for the person who has to choose the furniture, and live with that choice afterwards.
Picking the right size of boardroom table for your room
How many seats fit, the space needed behind chairs, and why the table is usually 400 mm too big.
When custom furniture is cheaper than buying off the shelf
Three cases where a custom-made piece costs less than squeezing in a catalogue item.
Veneer, laminate or solid wood: which desk top to choose
How each surface holds up over ten years of daily use, and where each one belongs in an office.
Ergonomic chairs: what actually matters
Which adjustments are worth paying for, and which are just words on a brochure.
How to plan an office layout in Nairobi
How far apart to put desks, how wide to make walkways, and the gaps most new offices forget. A step-by-step guide from an empty floor to a furniture plan you can price.
