Modern Furniture – Putting The Fun In Functionality
There are few better things in life than being able to combine that which people need with that which they want. In the main, these things in life are kept parallel due to the fact often that which is necessary is not always that interesting. In years gone by this could be said about furniture, it is a necessary commodity which enables us to live our lives in relative comfort, comfortable but not always that appealing.
Luckily, the 21st century has seen an evolution in the furniture industry with a contextual crossover between what is needed and what is desired. Furniture these days is not only practical and functional but also innovative, creative and fun, it is used as an expression of identity, ingenuity and integrity. Furniture is now used to make a statement and to invite and welcome people into a space, area or building which would otherwise be without identity.
Over the years, Work Rest Play Interiors have been amongst the first companies to bring new, exciting and cutting edge furniture to the British and Irish market, we fully invest in our motto of creating inspirational spaces. We work with our clients to identify what they need, what they want and what we can do for them and then provide an integration of all factors.
We supply furniture which is not only aesthetically appealing and innovative but also furniture which does not compromise on funcationality, but actually enhances it. This helps to create areas, for example, which encourage social engagement, collaboration or private working and many more aspects of working and social life.
