Straight desks are the simple rectangle that most office layouts are planned around. They line up in rows, sit opposite one another in pairs or banks, and fit tidily against a wall. The range suits Irish offices of every size, with Impulse models for the main floor and two softer designs for rooms that should feel less corporate.
Why most layouts start with a rectangle
A straight desk is easy to plan with. You can extend a row later or rearrange the room without the shape tying you to one layout. Someone who spreads out drawings, samples or files may be better served by a corner desk.
Picking a width
- 1200mm: a laptop plus a single monitor.
- 1400mm to 1600mm: a comfortable width for most roles, including dual screens.
- 1800mm and over: the far end often goes unused, so a corner desk is usually the better buy.
Check the depth as well. A deeper top lets the monitor sit further from your eyes, which is an easy way to reduce eye strain.
Leg types and softer styles
Impulse straight desks are offered with cantilever legs, panel ends or cable managed legs, and that choice shapes the feel of the room. For rooms that call for something less corporate, look at the Chester and the Fleur, a smart storage desk. Both also work well in home office setups.
