The origin of the office can be traced back to the early 16th century when The Medici family established the first real office in history; after the Industrial Revolution, to provide independent working spaces for prosecutors, lawyers, and other notaries, personal Office space began to appear; by the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, collective office appeared, with standardized desks densely placed in open areas, and each employee had his work position.

With the development of society, the office environment and office space are constantly evolving, and the office furniture has also changed. From the earliest wooden tables to the emergence of steel furniture, and then to the screen system, table screen system, and so on.

New Office Model Before Epidemics

Before the epidemic, the office environment began to appear "diversified" and "living" needs, and the former in the grid office is different; people need communication and interactive sharing. Open communication areas, coffee bars and lounges are introduced to the office. At the same time, co-working also began to rise, and the shared office has become a trend. Office space has a new model.

New Office Trends After Epidemics

In 2020, affected by the epidemic, the global office environment has undergone tremendous changes. Many companies can not resume routine work. At this time, home office, telecommuting became popular. We pay more and more attention to the home office environment and the purchase for home office furniture demand. At the same time, due to the need to rely on video, voice and other ways to solve the problem of daily communication, telecommuting software has entered the home, and intelligent office mode has been opened. I believe that after the epidemic, this home office and telecommuting will become mainstream.

Today, epidemics are leveling off and normalizing, and in China in particular, a mixed office model has emerged. Most people began to return to the office work, and because the epidemic in sporadic state, some people can not sit short-term shift, can only choose to work at home or outside. Therefore, the mixed office will become the normal office mode in the post-epidemic era.

Although it is a trend to work from home, some jobs still need to communicate, collaborate and work with colleagues. Therefore, many companies choose to work together

Post-epidemic era, office trends will continue to change. Still, the only certainty is that the office will not disappear, but will continue to change, with the emergence of new office patterns.
