It’s back-to-school time, and with it often comes the desire for a more optimal layout. To get off to a good start, we suggest you adopt a well-thought-out custom-made corner desk!
Like every year, the end of summer means the start of autumn. We sort, organize and prepare our home to gently face the winter period. The start of the new school year is often the trigger for refocusing on your living space and general organization. It’s the moment when we say to ourselves that this year, we’re going to improve everyone’s work area to be more organized and efficient.
A made-to-measure corner desk is often a wise choice when planning a workspace. Our customers particularly like this morphology, and for good reason, it offers a number of advantages
Here’s an article on the many advantages of a custom-made corner desk, and why you should adopt it this autumn.
A custom-made corner desk for greater efficiency
A well-organized workspace is essential for good concentration. We often hear this advice, but it’s true that when our desk is well laid out and tidy, we’re more inclined to work without distractions. That’s why we’re more focused, and therefore more efficient too.
When space is tight and architectural constraints complicate the layout of an office room, opting for a bespoke corner desk can be ideal. Creating a small but well thought-out area changes the whole dynamic of the room.
Rather than starting with a standard piece of furniture, we can configure dedicated storage spaces to suit your needs. We can accommodate more complex shapes, dubious angles or awkward technical boxes.
The worktop, meanwhile, is designed to ensure seating comfort whatever the space. The details that make all the difference are the integration of cabling, lighting and easy-access enclosed storage to ensure a zen-like workspace.
Comfort first
In addition to the practicality of a made-to-measure corner desk, this type of morphology also provides more workspace.
When you work on a straight desk, you’re always in the same position. A custom-made corner desk, on the other hand, allows you to work in several different positions.
Of course, the corner office doesn’t always have to be against walls. This is often the case for small spaces, but sometimes it’s more interesting to start from a wall and then extend the desk to a more open area.
This can be advantageous to benefit from natural lighting and a more pleasant outlook.
The work surface can be divided into several sections, creating different areas on the same desk. Depending on the size of the desk, this can be a computer corner, a more open area for writing or files, but not the only one.
The practical aspect of a corner desk is all the more interesting when it’s an office that needs to accommodate other people. These may include clients, occasional colleagues, or children who use a corner office to do their homework. Thanks to its L-shape, it can easily be divided into different work zones and reconfigured as required.
A harmonious office corner
Why do our customers love JOA corner offices so much? All the advantages listed above are part of what appeals to them. But the main reason that leads them to JOA rather than elsewhere is the curve.
Where many competitors offer corner desks, we have a major advantage that will make hearts skip a beat. Once a bespoke corner desk is designed with our unique style, it stands out from the rest. Curves are not anodyne in our creations. Its purpose is tosoften the angular corners of our traditional architecture. By integrating them, they naturally soften and fluidify the space. Harmony is felt and comfort becomes evident.
In the case of a custom-made corner desk, the curve is often used at the intersection of the two lengths. When concave, it alsodeepens the work area in the corner. This space is often dedicated to computer screens, as it’s more pleasant to have some distance from large screens. It’s also a good way of managing cabling in a less-used area of the office. This avoids cables running the length of the desk.
A made-to-measure corner desk that can be combined as required
A corner office usually requires storage space. In our approach, we like to integrate these coherently and ergonomically. We can incorporate drawers, cupboards or shelves.
Beyond the practical aspects directly linked to the office, it can also be considered in a more global way.
It’s not uncommon for us to propose a bespoke corner desk combined with another type of furniture. Most of the time, this is a bookcase, as desks and books are often linked. But we can propose other, less common combinations. Every project is born from a specific request – yours. So it’s possible to extend a sideboard into a desk, a staircase, a TV cabinet, and so on. It goes without saying that this aspect is first discussed to ensure that the request is coherent and feasible.
