L shaped desks action office 1
Published May 5, 2023

Tracing the history of the office is not only about looking at the design of bespoke office furniture, but is also an exploration of the various social, cultural and technological changes in the wider world, and this can even be found in the shape of the office environment itself.

Whilst the open plan office is seen as a product of the workplace revolutions of the 1990s, it is actually a much older working standard, dating as far back as office work itself does, with many of the same debates and discussions surrounding them.

Early companies that relied on more office-based jobs tended to use unused factory space, where there was a large open space for the main workers and private rooms for managers and other higher-level staff. This remained true until the 1960s.

Robert Propst and George Nelson, both working for the furniture company Herman Miller at the time, researched the needs of office workers and workplaces and found, much to their surprise, that workers were less productive and less communicative in the bare open spaces that were the norm.

The reasons, Mr Propst assumed, were because whilst office work often needs collaboration, it also needs privacy due to how employees have become increasingly less specialised and will do a much wider range of tasks than in the past, some of which need privacy and concentration.

This led to the Action Office, a set of L-shaped desks that allowed a worker much more freedom to move, but its expense, lack of flexibility and complex assembly meant that it would sell poorly until it was redesigned as the Action Office II, which introduced the world to the cubicle.

It was still an open space, but it was one that was flexible for managers and allowed for some degree of privacy and personalisation without affecting nearby workers.

This type of design would largely fall out of favour by the late 2000s as the rise of the mobile employee led to a return to the open-plan office, albeit with a much greater focus on team working.

We had our walk in wardrobe designed and fitted by komandor. Great service throughout and very good value for money. Work was done to high standard and in good time. Would definitely recommend.

One word.... PERFECT. We decided to go with KOMANDOR after a very impressive initial planning meeting at their showroom in Aberdeen. This company "ooze" professionalism in every area, from customer service, design, offering honest advice, right to a NO FUSS fitting and instalation to an excellent standard of finish. The Carpenter arrived as arranged and was extremely respectful throughout the entire fitting of 2 fully fitted wardrobes. I'm amazed at how clean he worked with minimal noise and to produce a level of proffessional finish that my OCD can only dream of. KOMANDOR deliverd excellence from start to finish, thankyou to Lucas and the team. Would highly recommend and WILL be back myself to discuss bedside cabinates. 5 🌟

Komandor recently fitted new wardrobe doors for us. We got exactly what we wanted with high quality materials and a quick and efficient installation. In addition, Aga and the team helped to organise the work to take into account the fact that my wife is severely disabled. I would highly recommend this company.

Komandor fitted a wardrobe in a small bedroom in hopes to give back some space. The place now looks completely different, got new space, wardrobe looks classy and super sleek. They did an amazing job! Very happy with it.

Moved into a place which had the main bedroom in the attic. The roof angles meant ‘normal Ikea wardrobes wouldn’t be an effective use of the alcoves. We got a quote from Sharps and Komandor. Komandor was cheaper - worth noting both quotes were quite a bit higher than I initially expected but seems to be the going rate.The cupboards were installed probably a month after placing the order, the fitter was very good and left the room in a tidy state. There were two issues noticed post job, one being a scratch on a door, the other being a drawer not closing smoothly. I got in contact with them and they ordered a new door and fixed that and the drawer in one go. Cannot complain. Hopefully these will last many many years!

Komandor Aberdeen have just installed a fitted wardrobe in one of my bedrooms and we will use their services again!!! Every aspect of their service has been 1st Class right from the initial home visit through to a visit at their Rosemount premises and then the fitting. The Rosemount visit confirmed our initial positive impression of the quality of Komandor’s product and staff. All our questions were answered and the wide variety material options we were shown were very impressive. The wardrobe has been fitted and we are absolutely delighted with the finished product and the extremely professional manner in which it was fitted.When we look back at the other options we looked at we are so pleased that we chose Komandor who, in our view, were streets ahead of the competition. We have to thank Facebook for our choice as it was through Fb that we first saw the good reviews given to the Komandor products. Komandor have exceeded our expectations and we are just thrilled with our new wardrobe 😊😊😊

I thouroughly recommend Daniel and his team. From the off they were very helpful with the design of our bedroom storage requirements. Very neat and tidy throughout, the finished article is of a very high standard using high quality materials. Big thanks to the Komandor team.
