Keeping your office in shape

When it comes to plan filing choosing the right option can quite often be a minefield. Do you need horizontal paper storage or vertical paper storage? Do you need a lockable plan chest or a plan hanger stand? Metal or wooden? Bright and colourful or brown and beige straight from the 80's?

Despite the dreams of most architects to impose the perfect paperless office on us all, the reality is that most offices cannot escape it. Certainly large format plans and blueprints need to exist in a drawing office and so also need storing safely and neatly.

Most drawing offices tend to go down the route of plan holder systems as jobs can be grouped together into a single plan hanger. This is doubly useful for site offices where plans are readily needed on a building site.

Space Saving Solutions

Getting the most out of your work space can be challenging at the best of times. Even with a tidy work ethic the combined efforts of you and your colleagues can sometimes lay waste to your office.

Eliminating this problem entirely is certainly an achievement but to do it in style is another thing altogether.



Since Stark made his orange juicer and Kamprad screwed the leg off his table and called it IKEA, designers have been working hard at their drawing board to make your office a pleasant place to be.

The 'paperless office' thing has always been the holy grail but realistically humanity can't cope with it just yet. Paper storage and plan filing solutions exist in their droves allowing you to efficiently organise your paper sensibly.

Educational environments suffer from the same problems. Design studios and art rooms use copious amounts of paper all of which needs organising and filing. Space is often also at a premium so having multipurpose furniture can really help to get the most out of the work space.

Reversible desks are a great space saving solution for schools and colleges. Providing a normal school desk but featuring an integrated desk top drawing board for graphic and design work.
