We were recently delighted by the owner of this 1950′s Krost task chair who contacted us to let us know that he bought the chair second hand 20 years ago and has been sitting on it ever since.
It’s thrilling to know that 60 years after the chair was manufactured it is still in use and apart from the obvious wear and tear, is still fully functional.
This significant piece of Krost history reminds us why we take such pride in supplying quality products and why quality remains one of the central tenets of our business.

Laptops and tablets have freed us from the confines of our desk and now we have more options than ever about where we work, correspondingly creating a number of different workspaces throughout the office has become crucial.
Of course, it’s not practical to work away from our desks all the time, but everyone should have the flexibility to work in different areas to concentrate more easily, work with a team or jump into a teleconference.
An ideal office should consist of many informal and formal workspaces; here are the essential spaces:
1. The Main office – A place where employees spend the majority of their time, this space should be designed to encourage activity based work using an open planned layout.
2. Conference Rooms – A place to work in private, with a team or alone, it should be a quiet, enclosed and free of daily office distractions.
3. Breakout Space – A relaxed l informal pace where staff can sit comfortably on lounges, ottomans or café chairs and either get to work on their laptops or make a call whilst having a coffee in comfort. Our Hush lounges are a popular choice for this area!
4. In-office breakout Space – An area within the office where teams can meet to have quick informal meetings, bounce ideas off one another, or run through their daily tasks. These are becoming more and more popular and can be created using either counter tables with stools, lounges and ottomansor small conference tables. A place to host more formal meetings with clients and staff
5. Boardroom – A place to host more formal meetings with clients and staff
