WORK CHAIRS AS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT For some years now, industry observers have emphasized the progressive contamination between the home and the workplace, but of course, with the advent of the pandemic this trend has jumped strongly to everyone's attention. A subject that has long, almost exclusively, fascinated experts in the field of contract has now become a widely shared topic of discussion where consumers themselves are wondering what is the best way to deal with the new organizational paradigms of their daily life. Behind all this, there is a problem that immediately emerged with the sudden advent of working from home. The physical and postural difficulties that have been highlighted in working for many hours without having adequate furniture have given rise to the need to put an ergonomic work chair among the purchase priorities. It was not conceivable that in 2020, in the face of a decrease of more than 15% in the entire office furniture sector in Europe and with the office occupancy rate collapsed to an all-time low, the consumption of seats would drop by only 5%. And yet so it was. Having said this, it can be assumed
that an increased awareness of the importance of the seat will make the market evolve towards higher quality products. If in 2020 it was China (+40% in exports of chairs) that benefited from this push, we must not forget that Germany, Poland and Italy are among the world's leading manufacturers of office chairs where we find the best in terms of design, ergonomics, functions, sustainability and finishes.
