Bisley Hideaway Will Maximise Your Working from Home Space
As we slowly adapt to the new way of working, whether it be working from home (WFH) full-time, or hybrid working, now is the time to reassess our home office set-up to ensure it works for us – day in, day out.
Responding to demand for multipurpose home/office furniture, British office specialist Bisley launched its Belong collection in 2020, which comprises a curated selection of home office furniture and accessories designed with style, flexibility and durability in mind. Building on the success of the collection, Bisley has now introduced a new Swing Desk to its Hideaway range, to help create a multipurpose yet well-organised workspace.
“As a result of the pandemic, we have entered a new era where our industry has to adapt to a different way of working. I remember asking our design team in early 2020 to think, if they had free rein over new products within our steel and wood factories, what they would be,”
– Richard Costin, Bisley’s CEO, comments.
“They came back with a whole range of wonderful ideas, and the result of that is our Belong collection.
“It’s times like this that we have the opportunity to thrive and push the boundaries of innovation. I truly believe that, with their fantastic talents and skills, our team has created something beautiful yet cleverly designed and fit for the new era of flexible working.”
Hideaway is designed to suit homes where space is at a premium. A clever and thoughtful solution, the initial design features a wall-mounted desk that enables the user to fold it down when working, and fold it up to tuck away their equipment when logging off for the day.
Designed and made in Bisley’s UK factory, the Wall Desk is a modern reinterpretation of the traditional bureau, with a carcass that comes in eight laminate finishes and a steel back panel available in a choice of 33 colours.
Bisley has now introduced a smart new addition to the range – in the shape of the Swing Desk, which enables the user to easily transform their space from a sleek and stylish sideboard into a working, functional desk in one subtle move. Without changing location, it is perfect for the living room or kitchen diner.
“We’re very proud of this latest addition to our Hideaway range. The Swing Desk is a dual-functional piece of furniture – not only is it a spacious desk with everything to hand for WFH, it’s also a quick-to-close-away sideboard with no clutter on show when work is finished,”
– Chris Fowler, Director of Design at Bisley, explains.
“It’s a high-quality product that feels premium – with soft to the touch surfaces to elevate the overall user experience.
“The entire desk is also made in our factory, which helps keep the manufacturing carbon footprint to a minimum.”
With a premium finish suitable for multiple settings, the Swing Desk moves out at 90 degrees to form a desk so the user can work, rest and store throughout the day. After that, the desk transforms back into a sideboard with no door handles, locks or hinges visible, offering a neat and minimalistic look.
The desk also features a matt, velvety surface – thanks to its “PerfectSense” material, available in five colour options – providing anti-fingerprint properties as well as excellent resistance to abrasion, impact and micro-scratches. With a contrasting, wooden laminate desktop, finished in oak, maple, walnut or shorewood, the Hideaway Swing Desk sits elegantly with other coordinating Bisley ranges.
The Swing Desk also comes with a push-to-open, fabric-lined drawer for storing away small personal items. With a built-in USB port, pin plug power and cable management, users can also charge their electronic devices while working. The desk is available as a left-hand or right-hand design, with no self-assembly required.
