Modern Office

Back pain. Afternoon energy slumps. A team that's counting down to 5pm by 2pm.

These are environment problems before they're people problems. And a standing desk is one of the most straightforward fixes available without overhauling the entire office.

We've put together a guide to standing desks in New Zealand: the health case, how they work, electric vs manual, and what you should expect to pay.

A little more colour for your next meeting space refresh! 🌿

Our Maven chairs and stools are now available in two new Warwick Noyack fabric colours: Alfalfa (pictured) and Black Pepper.

Two versatile new options designed to bring warmth, texture and a fresh feel to meeting, breakout and collaborative spaces.

Planning an office fit-out and suddenly it’s landed on your desk?

The good news is there’s a logical order to getting it right, and if you’re at Step 1 and could use some guidance, get in touch. We do this every day.

Every workplace is unique, so sometimes the best solution isn't something off the shelf. At Modern Office, we work with our clients to create solutions that fit the way they work.

For BM Autobahn, we transformed our standard Novah desk with bespoke melamine panelling to create a striking, premium reception that gives a great first impression.

For another client in the medical sector, we designed and built a custom medical charts trolley, complete with adjustable dividers and tailored storage to suit their workflow, documents and volume requirements.

If you can imagine it, we'll work with you to create furniture that's designed around your business, not the other way around. Get in touch today to discuss how we can make that happen for you!

A workspace should do more than look good. It should be somewhere people genuinely enjoy spending their day.

We recently helped bring TSA Riley's office to life with a considered mix of furniture, including the Perch Ottoman, Maven Barstool, Ava Chair, Modella Leaner, workstations and storage solutions. The result is a space filled with warmth, texture and functionality, designed to support collaboration, focus and the everyday moments in between.

Thinking about refreshing your workplace? We'd love to help create a space your team will love coming to every morning.

A space transformed. Soft seating, leaners, a plant-wall room partition, soundboxes, frameless freestanding acoustic dividers; every detail considered, every element earning its place.

This is what a workspace looks like when it's designed for how a team actually works. Not just how it looks on day one, but how it feels on day one hundred.

Congratulations to our client on their fresh new space. We loved bringing this one to life. Thinking about a workspace refresh? Let's talk.

Modern Office Christchurch has moved! Our Christchurch office is now at the Home Ideas Centre in Riccarton. It's a space that works on every level, being close to the CBD with easy access and parking.

Creating a successful workspace is about more than furniture; it's about understanding how your team works, what your brand stands for, and how your environment can support both. If you're a South Island-based company ready to create a workspace that actually works, contact Juliet Scott today!

Loved seeing our friends at Maxwell Rodgers Fabrics featured on Country Calendar last Sunday night, championing New Zealand wool and the incredible industry behind it.

Maxwell Rodgers is one of our primary upholstery fabric suppliers, and we are proud to support their commitment to quality NZ wool through our work. Recently, we specified their Mana fabric for our Fulton Hogan fitout, and the result speaks for itself.

When you choose custom furniture upholstery through Modern Office, you're not just getting a great finish. You're specifying materials backed by real provenance, real craft, and in this case, a supplier willing to stand up for the industry on national television.

If you have an upcoming fitout and want to discuss upholstery options, we'd love to help. Get in touch today!

Modern Office was proud to sponsor the recent Tauranga Boys' and Tauranga Girls' College production of Footloose. There's nothing quite like watching young talent bring their dreams to life, and we love supporting local initiatives that make it happen!
