Desk Or Workstation? The Name Doesn’t Matter, The Matter Is What Matters!
The humble desk is one of the most common pieces of furniture in our homes and offices. Many times the workstation as it is called in modern speak is more than just a place to pay bills or do work. Some of us spend more time sitting at our workstation than we do in our beds or on our sofas. The workstation is the home of our computer, the place we charge out phones and where we organize the myriad aspects of our lives. Indeed the workstation is a mainstay of our modern lives.
These days more and more people are working with jobs that let them have a free and open lifestyle with their work. Its is estimated that about 1/4 of the population are now working as freelancers or independent contractors and about 20% of the remainder work at jobs with companies that allow them to work at home at least three days a week. This means that more than ever the choice of a workstation is a personal one. As more and more of us spend a greater amount of time sitting in our work area than we will in any other environment, it becomes essential that we chose a workstation that is ideal for us as individuals.
Metal Based Options
Metal workstations come in a wide variety of styles. The best thing about a metal workstation is the fact that they can be custom built into almost any configuration of design that you want. Many metal workstations are made entirely of metal while others use metal as the base for the workstation and incorporate other materials into the overall design such as wood or glass.
Stone Choices
Most stone work stations are based on the groundbreaking artistic designs of the renowned Mike Pillar who became famous in the 1960′s for his unique and decidedly different approach to interior decor by his unusually heavy use of tone and other all natural materials to create extremely modern looks. These are the ultimate in statement furniture and can be very bold if used in the right way, but be aware once they are in place they are a pain in the back (literally) to move so choose your work area layout wisely.
Choices in Acrylic and Glass Options
The advent of modern technology has allowed for the creation of workstations that are made from acrylic materials, plastics and formed glass. These workstations allow literally for the sky to be the limit as far style and design. These workstations are able be incorporated into almost any environment, they look best in modern interiors however. They are very durable despite the fact that they are much lighter weight than their traditional material counterparts.
Artistic
Artistic workstations are available in a wide variety of materials and are generally one of a kind; they are an expression of the artist view of the world in the form of functional furniture. Just as with any kind of art, the price will be as varied as the workstation. If you are looking for a workstation that is truly special, a one of a kind artistic desk is perfect for you, but be aware that the search may be long and arduous. However, as they say the journey is the reward.
The modern workstation is a thing which is hard to define. We live in a world now that is mobile, fluid and in constant evolution. What was once able to be defined as the classic desk is now a showpiece for our heirloom collectibles. With the advent of computers, and the fact that they have been getting progressively smaller year after year, the old concept or a desktable has been replaced with an all in one piece of furniture that complements the all in one aspect of the machines we live our lives inside of.
No matter what your style and tastes, you can find a modern workstation to fit your needs. The best thing about these new modern workstations is the fact that you can get a desk that is very personal and uniquely you. The traditional conventions of style and design do not apply when it comes to modern furniture. With a little time and research you can find a desk that is perfect for you.
