Bombay presents The how-to summer office

Creating the ideal workspace and atmosphere is important in an office, especially if you’re working from home this summer


By Sarah DiVito | June 29, 2010


To produce work at an efficient pace, you need an office that inspires you. Consider Bombay’s colonial and timeless furniture and accessories to spruce your home office this summer. Bombay’s office collection allows anyone working from home to feel productive as well as comfortable.

Create the HOME OFFICE you’ve been looking for…

 

The Armillary’s antique brass sphere rotates on its axis, taking you away from your pile of work by stimulating your mind and giving your brain a much-needed mental break ($69).

                                                                                   

Injecting seasonal colours like greens, corals and natural hues creates a warm, soothing environment, allowing the sense of summer to spill right into your office. The Crewel & Dori Lace Natural Pillow ($39) and the Empress Pillow ($59), have the ideal combination of floral stitching and lace materials for accenting a summer office.


 

Be reminded of friends and family in Bombay’s Bone Natural/Black Tile Frame. Its gorgeous natural colour and outdoor texture ties in the summer theme perfectly ($29).
                                                                     
  

                                                                  

An Architectural Table Lamp enhances your sideboard or office desk with soft lighting to help reduce the glare from your computer.It has a traditional feel with a double column brass base that’s crowned with a beige square bell shaped shade ($129).

The Stanton Desk Chair is a comfy and beautiful choice with its deep hazelnut or cognac finish and deep burgundy/brown leather cushion ($699).

                                                                                                                                                                

Consider a desk accessory like the Electronic Charging Station. Rather than have your gadgets tangled up on your office desk, this practical design stores, charges and organizes them for you ($169).

                                                                                               

The wood finish on furniture is not a seasonal issue, so pick a wood colour for your desk based on the feeling you want to evoke. The Stanton Desk comes in hazelnut and cognac with antique brass finished hardware and drawers that boast apothecary styling to tie in the strong and classic look ($1399).

                                                                 
You will always see a luxurious upholstered chair in a Bombay office — it’s a necessity. Sink into the deep tufting and silk material of the bronze-coloured Benton Chair ($599).
