The way an office feels can change dramatically throughout the year. Light, temperature, and atmosphere all affect how people work, think, and connect. The right furniture can help the workspace evolve to these shifts, maintaining comfort, balance, and focus throughout every season.
At Brands by POS, we curate furniture that adapts intuitively, from breathable seating and acoustic pods to modular storage and flexible tables. Here’s how design can evolve naturally with the year.
Summer: Light, Air, and Movement
In summer, energy levels are higher, days are longer, and people naturally want to move more. A workspace that feels open and bright keeps that momentum going.
Maximise daylight with lighter surfaces and layouts that allow air to flow freely. Choose task seating that’s breathable and flexible, like the Sedus Se:Flex Task Chair, which uses a mesh membrane to support posture and comfort without trapping heat.
Pair this with adaptable benches and modular tables that make it easy to switch between collaboration and solo focus. It’s about creating a space that feels alive, light, fresh, and effortless to work in.
Autumn and Winter: Warmth and Focus
As the light softens and days shorten, the office atmosphere should follow suit. Warm tones, textured fabrics, and gentle lighting can make a big difference to comfort and concentration.
Acoustic privacy becomes more important as the rhythm of work turns inward. Enclosed solutions, such as Taiga Office Pods, offer calm, private spaces for meetings or quiet focus while maintaining a sense of connection to the wider office.
Layering materials and lighting creates depth and warmth. Think felt panels, timber finishes, and warm white light - subtle cues that help the space feel grounded and inviting through the darker months.
Spring: Renewal and Rebalance
Spring is a natural time to reset. Spaces benefit from a light refresh by moving furniture, opening up layouts, and reintroducing greenery.
Modular systems, such as Vepa's Rack system, make it easy to reconfigure storage and partitions, helping teams create a sense of renewal without significant changes.
Reposition lighting or add mobile planters to reconnect the workspace with nature. These simple touches help signal optimism and new energy.
Seasonal design isn’t only about aesthetics; it’s about performance and wellbeing. Furniture that allows for individual control ensures consistent comfort, whether through height-adjustable desks, responsive seating, or adaptable acoustic solutions.
At Brands by POS, we focus on pieces that empower people to shape their environment: cooler in summer, softer in winter, balanced all year round. When furniture evolves with the seasons, people feel a deeper connection to their surroundings.
