Trend Spotting: Peninsula Desks Are In!

The most reputable office furniture brands are shifting their manufacturing efforts towards modern peninsula desks. Why you ask? It's all about collaboration! In 2018, everybody is looking for ways to improve collaborative efforts in the workplace and peninsula desks will help you do just that.

P shaped peninsula desks provide ample leg space and the curved operating surfaces needed to strategize effectively in private office settings. With a peninsula desk, gathering in small groups for meetings is far easier than at traditional bow front and straight front desk shapes with flat sides and extended modesty panels. A peninsula desk will make it easy to host 3 to 4 person strategizing sessions without the need to visit the conference room.

Brands like Offices To Go, Cherryman, and Mayline are all paving the way with post-leg peninsula desks that offer modern appeal and a ton of benefits we'll cover today on the blog.

Let's start by taking a look at the SL-E U-Shaped desk configuration from the Offices To Go Superior Laminate Series. You'll notice that it has a peninsula front and ample operating surface. This desk is available for $615.99. The SL-A is the exact same configuration with a straight front desk and full length modesty panel is $665.99. It's like this with every brand. Less panels mean greater savings for you!

Who doesn't like a little value? The good news is, peninsula desks have a lot more to offer. In looking at the pictures above you'll notice that the SL-E layout on the right offers a ton of usable space surrounding the post-leg. This peninsula desk makes it easy to move around and invite additional guests into your office to collaborate and toss good ideas around.

Most peninsula desks are modular. This means you can use them to create a left or right handed U shaped desk with a universal bridge and return. If you're limited on space, simply add a return to create a versatile L shape. The Superior Laminate collection from Offices To Go and Amber collection from Cherryman Industries offer the interchangeable parts you need!

Traditional desk shapes will always have their place, but the furniture world is evolving. If you like the idea of improving collaboration and versatility, a peninsula desk is definitely worth considering. With a peninsula desk you can save money on your office remodeling project while simultaneously getting the most out of your available square footage. The only downside to a peninsula desk is that you'll give up a little bit of the privacy gained with a full length modesty panel. In our opinion, the pros far outweigh the cons.
