Biggest & Best Designer Office Furniture Brands!

The Office

If you’re thinking of moving offices, re-designing your current space, or just curious about furniture design, it’s good to know about the best brands in the designer office furniture world. These trusted designers and manufacturers have led the way for innovation in the industry for decades, so let’s discuss their best designs to understand why this is the case.

Herman Miller Designer Office Furniture

Herman Miller Aeron Chair

Herman Miller produce arguably the most famous designer office furniture in the world. Their Aeron office chair, designed in 1994, is known the world over, and is still widely regarded as one of the most ergonomic and comfortable office chairs money can buy.

Although more famous for their chairs like the Aeron, the Mirra, and the Celle Chair, Herman Miller also design and produce desks, tables, and storage. Although very expensive to buy brand new, you can always pick up a second-hand Herman Miller piece for significantly cheaper. Always a great bargain if you can find one in good condition!

Orangebox Workday Chair

Orangebox Furniture

Orangebox began as a small organisation in South Wales and have grown significantly in the last fifteen years, to the point where they now employ more than 450 people. They’ve become leaders in the industry because of highly innovative ergonomic office chairs such as the Do Operator Chair, and compact, adaptable creations such as the Workday Chair. They’ve also contributed unique soft seating and acoustic meeting booth designs.

Bisley Storage

Bisley Storage

Bisley steel storage such as filing cabinets, pedestals, and multidrawer cabinets, can also be found in offices the world over. Durable, available in a huge range of colours, and accompanied by reassuring guarantees, their products really are the crème de la crème. Some of their most notable range names include the AOC, BS, and F Series filing cabinets, Note Pedestals, and they even cater for more niche needs with the likes of the Bisley Architect’s Plan Chests.

Eames Soft Pad Chair

Eames/Vitra

Charles & Ray Eames were an American couple who designed some of the world’s most recognisable designer office furniture, and furniture in general. With original Eames models being very expensive, they have become some of the most replicated designs in history. The Eames Soft Pad Chair and Ribbed Back Chair designs are arguably two of the most popular even today. Originally made with real leather, the replicas are often easy to spot because of the inferior  faux leather and greatly reduced price tag.

Vitra have now gone on to become licensed manufacturers of the Eames designs, and still create the various models to this day. It is also a family-run business, in its third generation, working “every day to better our surroundings through the power of design”.
