Office furniture

==History==
The ancient Egyptians already used heavy ebony desks and cupboards, as well as small bureaus for high-society ladies with literary ambitions.\nAs civil servants were very busy at that time and the Pharaohs´ scribes used paper (papyrus) and goose-feather quills in their daily work, different types of office furniture were also in use.\nAlthough office furniture's styles have changed over the ages, items such as writing desks, libraries, shelves and filing cabinets have never been threatened with extinction.\nIt was not until the 19th century that office furniture was mass-produced. Previous models had all been made by respected artist-craftsmen.
==Did You Know That?==
In the 30s, fashionable office equipment made of wood and steel was in great demand. Many companies were expanding and establishing branches with open-plan offices in the world's larger cities.\nWorkplace furniture is required to be functional, cheap and durable.
