The furniture collection consists of a swivel chair, desk, kneeling stool, chaise lounge and a standing luminaire, which are all characterized by their distinctly blockish aesthetic. The hard angles on the furniture creates a somewhat straightforward appearance, but helps to reposition the various pieces as playthings that will add a touch of wonder to the workday. The OFIS Collection speaks to a need for a softening of business protocols as professionals embrace a more relaxed approach to working that doesn't take itself too seriously. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Playful Office Furniture:** There is a need for office furniture that does not take itself too seriously and instead adds a touch of whimsy and playfulness to the workspace. - **Blockish Aesthetics:** The use of hard angles and geometric shapes in office furniture design provides a straightforward appearance and potential for creative reinvention. - **Relaxed Business Protocols:** As professionals embrace a more laid back approach to working, office furniture can be designed to reflect that by creating a more casual and comfortable environment. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Office Furniture Manufacturing:** Manufacturers can explore the use of blockish aesthetics and playful designs to create an engaging and comfortable workspace for professionals. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can use playful office furniture to transform the look and feel of an office space and create a more relaxed and inviting atmosphere. - **Corporate Culture Consulting:** Consultants can recommend playful office furniture as a way of promoting a more relaxed corporate culture and creating a comfortable and engaging space for employees. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Playful Toy-Like Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frunchroom-furniture-collection.md) - [Playful Geometric Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collection-co.md) - [Toy Block-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloc-collection.md) - [Playful Industrial Desk Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forming-function-nomad-collection.md) - [Colorfully Playful Office Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bud-chairs.md) - [Quirky Cartoon-Like Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flash-furniture-series.md) - [Vibrant Versatile Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/here-now-1.md) - [Chunky Office Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chunky-furniture.md) - [Creativity Enhancing WFH Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/other-angles-collection.md)
