The advantages of leasing your office furniture

The Advantages of Leasing

If you don't pay for your staff in advance, why pay for your office furniture in advance?  Refurbishing an office can often prove to be an expensive yet necessary task; in today's financial climate, there are many benefits of paying for lease furniture rather than paying for your furniture upfront:-

• The primary benefit you take from your office equipment is in the use you get out of it, rather than the ownership of it.  By leasing your furniture, you may be able to take advantage of the latest technologies by simply upgrading.

• You can acquire what is needed for your office now, without worrying about the constraints of what you can afford.

• Leasing preserves your working capital, so that it can be put to work for more profitable purposes for your company.

• Leasing allows you to budget more accurately, so that you can organise how much you need to pay and at when it needs to be paid- whether monthly, quarterly, annual or seasonally for a period of up to 60 months.

• Leasing is tax efficient, because it allows you to offset the rentals.

How to Design and Furnish a Reception

A Day in the Life of Verve Workspace...

Okay, so you are well aware by now that we are a well-established office furniture organisation.  But what does that entail?  How do we help our customers to make the most of their offices or workspaces?  This blog shows how we have helped one of our clients to design and plan their reception, to give you a little idea of how we work.

At Verve, we work exceptionally hard as a team in order to provide office furniture solutions for each of our clients, taking in to account the individual specifications of each business we serve.  After all, it is our clients who will be putting the furniture to use- it needs to meet their requirements!

For example, we had a call from a solicitors firm last week, who wanted us to work out some furniture ideas for their reception.  The client drew out a rough plan of their reception with measurements for us to work from.  The reception area is a relatively small area, with an existing sofa.  It was a difficult task because the reception work area needed to be big enough to sit three receptionists comfortably, whilst also adhering to health and safety regulations. 

Working from the client's plan, we created a 3D CAD impression of the reception room, with its existing furniture, in order to get an idea of what space we had to work with.  In order to optimise the available space for the receptionists, we inverted the normal 'L' shape reception desk style.  We inserted a 1.8 m length desk, for two of the receptionists to work comfortably from, and a slightly smaller desk for the other. 

We added only one top box to the singular desk, in order to give a little bit more storage space and privacy to the receptionists, should they need it.  This way, the rest of the reception unit is left open and welcoming to visitors. 

The major problem with the small space, in this case, was the lack of storage space.  We all know how paperwork builds up quickly- particularly in a reception environment!  We placed a pedestal under the smaller desk, but added another pedestal to the end of the longest desk as there would not be enough space under that desk.  In addition, we made the curved component of the reception desk a tambour cupboard, for added storage solutions.

There are a whole range of ideas that can be used for every space that we see.  We try our best to find solutions which will be the most helpful and efficient as workspaces for our clients, whilst also designing them so that they look extremely aesthetically pleasing. 

Design in Today's Society

Keeping Quality at the Heart of Design

The term, 'quality' is used to define a level of excellence, or a property or attribute which differentiates a thing or person.  We, at Verve, believe strongly in safeguarding quality as one of the most important elements at the heart of a product's design.  We much prefer to supply our clients with high quality products, which are designed to last them a very long time, rather than cheap products which will last a fraction of the time.   

Sadly, we live in a society, which is driven by commercial fads and disposable products.  Our society has an increasingly 'temporary' mindset with regard to products- we tend to choose products which are cheaper, intending to save our pennies, without even thinking about the life-span of what we are buying.  Over the past few years, large supermarket outlets have expanded, so that they now sell a whole range of products, such as office chairs, cameras, furniture etc., making it increasingly easy and tempting for us to choose the cheaper option. 

Our country's current financial climate seems to have helped people to think more carefully about a product, and the benefits of buying a slightly more expensive product of a much higher quality, rather than a cheap product. 

Let's take office chairs as an example; most of our clients find that cheap chairs will last less than a year, and will be very uncomfortable to sit in- often leading to back complaints.  Most cheap chairs are manufactured in other countries such as China, and so their carbon footprints tend to be huge, adding further to environmental pollution; this really needs to be taken in to account alongside the fact that these products tend to only last a fraction of the time. 

The slightly more expensive chairs are designed and manufactured specifically for the user's comfort, as well as to last a considerably long time.  The chairs are manufactured with much higher quality materials, making the chairs more durable and more aesthetically pleasing to the eye.  Most of the chairs that we offer come with a FIVE YEAR GUARANTEE, which indicates an excellent standard of manufacture, as well as taking some stress off the shoulders of the consumer.  Many of our products are manufactured within the U.K., significantly improving the environmental impact of our products, with much smaller carbon footprints.

Introducing the Paperweight Desk

Looking to a Cardboard Future
Introducing the 100% Recyclable, 100% Sustainable PAPERWEIGHT DESK.

In today's society, cardboard is so common in daily life, that we tend to overlook its potential as a highly versatile material. In fact, if we really think about it, cardboard has made a revolutionary contribution to the worldwide packaging and shipping industries. But beyond that, what can cardboard be used for?

Well, an astonishing new range of furniture products has been developed, made entirely of cardboard. These products have been designed to be highly functional both for use in the home and in the office. They are composed of 74% recycled paper and 26% virgin fibres, which come from fast-growing sustainable sources, making these products extremely environmentally friendly and cost effective in today’s commercial society.  All of these cardboard products are fully certified, and meet UK and European legislation, making them fit for purpose for demanding contract and commercial use, as well as in the home and small office.


Our favourite product from the range, is the Paperweight Desk. Like other products in the range, the Paperweight Desk has a simple, clean and highly functional design, combined with clever engineering which makes it extremely lightweight, immensely strong, and excellent value for money.

1500 mm (w) x 750 mm (d) x 720 mm (h)

The Paperweight Desk is made of special single walled clay coated corrugated board, with a solid board, water varnished top which is capable of repelling all spills.  Its design integrates a deep cable management tray and an under-desk 'secret' shelf.  There are cable outlet slots and twin access points with covers, which can be found on the top of the desk, and the legs of the desk can be positioned inset or outset as required.  The desk is available in bespoke colours or designs on demand.  It is supplied half assembled, with an easy-to-follow instruction sheet for quick assembly in under five minutes.
