The European Office Furniture sector is facing several challenges, assuming increasingly blurred boundaries. Shared spaces are ever more important, as well as the assonance with the domestic environment and the growing collaboration between companies within the sector and others, like outdoor furniture firms.

Today's office world is under a huge transformation, with concepts such as flexibility, coziness, and sociability shaping the new workspaces. Office Furniture is ever more inspired by residential environments while remaining technologically much more advanced and function-oriented. About half of a medium/large office project budget, according to the results of a survey, is represented by shared and focus spaces, while the traditional desk-based areas are reduced significantly.
