Office Furniture
Procurement of the best furniture to bring your scheme together
We pride ourselves on providing well chosen, high quality furniture to our clients.
The furniture you choose for your office, whether when working with the space that you already have or moving to a new office is critical for ensuring functionality and an overall look. Furniture needs to be durable and work hard but also look good and cohesive with your space and your brand.
We take ownership of the procurement process, buying directly from manufacturers or suppliers to ensure that the spaces we deliver to our clients are fully realised and as sustainable as possible.
Every single piece of furniture is carefully considered and we will always do our utmost to ensure that the design is never compromised whilst making sure the budget and timelines of our projects are met.

Understand more about Office Furniture
-
Commercial (or contract) furniture is more durable and has additional Health and Safety tests that it must pass to be approved for a hospitality or workspace environment. Contract furniture utilises high quality materials and construction, designed to endure the demands of daily service, whilst still looking good and fulfilling its function. Quality commercial furnishings last much longer than their domestic counterparts – retaining their attractive appearance and comfort which means they are a more sustainable option - built for longevity = less waste.
Hospitality furniture has historically been more stylish and diverse than ‘office’ furniture so in the past we have leant on that more heavily to create our signature ‘resimmercial’ style; nowadays, however, hospitality and workspace pieces have far greater cross over and are freely utilised in either environment. Plus, office furniture has come a long way since the days where everything was a shade of greige; contemporary commercial furniture, with its almost limitless design possibilities and wide range of attractive materials means that your workspace can be both stylish and functional.

Yes it is! In order to support without interior services we would need you to have:
A list of all the items you require
Measurements of all items you require
Ideally Moodboards/Colour palette for your interior scheme
Ideally a floor plan in AutoCAD
Budget guide
If you do not have most of the above then you could hire us for stand alone Interior Design Service.

This is often abbreviated to D&I and in commercial environments you should allow around 10% on top of the cost of furniture for this service (it can sometimes be a little higher or lower depending on the item/supplier and difficulty of install).
Full D&I service will include
Delivery to the exact location the item needs to be
Removal and disposal of all packaging
Assembly of the item
What are the benefits of Trifle* sourcing and procuring our furniture?
At Trifle* we are not Salespeople, we are passionate and knowledgeable Creatives and Designers. Furniture is a powerful tool to unlock the full potential of your space, it can quite literally make or break an interior design scheme. Furnishings can be functional, decorative, symbolic, practical, collaborative, celebratory, innovative, familiar, comforting, original and it can be all these things in one piece.
Our job is to protect the integrity of your overall Design vision and aesthetic with the furniture, accessories and planting we select. We are on hand throughout the Furniture process to make alternative suggestions where required for either speed or budgetary reasons and we are keenly aware of all potential pitfalls along the way.
“One of the great things about working with Trifle was the care and attention they took over realising our design vision; we were given many brilliant options to choose from with all finishes and furniture. They worked with us to select furniture that is classic and will stand the test of time, that is functional and robust but also stylish and befitting of our culture and brand.”

Sustainable Office Furniture
We are constantly challenging ourselves and our suppliers to provide sustainable office furniture options by considering the manufacturing, transportation and installation.
As much as possible we try to reuse existing furniture to reduce waste by working carefully with our clients to audit what they have and see if this can work in their refreshed or new space. In some cases we have been able to source high quality second hand or vintage furniture for spaces - check out our sustainable temporary office project for our clients Moo here.
We are an independent design practice which allows us the choice to use any brands we think are right for the project. We always try to reduce the volume of suppliers we use on a project so we limit the number of places furniture is travelling from.
When we do buy new, we look for sustainable products from reputable companies that are accredited or on the road to being that way.
