The nature of the modern office has changed so drastically that office furniture has had to adapt in form and function so as to meet that change. The basis for the traditional rectangular office desk was nothing more than to serve as a protective edifice between executives and management. Indeed workers’ desks were in the late 1800s designed Charles Dickens style with the high legs and a slanted work area. Today’s office furniture is still designed for the workstation concept. But, that concept now must include 1 to 2 computer monitors, and least one keyboard, and readily available laser printer.

Another interesting aspect to the workstation is that it no longer sits alone in a private office. Desks are positioned in quad formations with simple office screens between them. And rectangular design is completely out of place, as workers must continually rise from their seats to consult with others. Corners are hazards, as people are zipping about comparing notes. Modern office furniture is designed for quick access from ergonomic chairs and easy line of sight viewing of computer monitors.
