Luxury desks don’t come from outer space
I have noticed how many brands wipe their wasted faces with the word LUXUS. In a way, I understand their desperation, but I don’t understand the end customer who firmly believes it. Because whether luxury desks At a price of £1,500 apiece do they really exist?
If you are buying a 10-year-old diesel car from Germany with 120,000 kilometers on the odometer, you have to believe it very strongly, and that’s the way it is with luxury in the broadest sense. Premium and super-premium product is very much about nuance, which ultimately consists of price.
To a very large extent, it is the price that determines whether a product is exclusive, and pay attention to that. Today I want to touch on the topic of luxury offices and offices, which are often a showcase of where a person will go in his or her career.
Luxury desks – low prices for poor workmanship
To be clear, the article is about desks dedicated to directors, CEOs and managers. We are not talking about small lightweight furniture consisting of several parts…..
Looking through the offerings from the Internet, I saw a great many interesting items. However, most of them are ” mass-produced cream cakes ” – or products from Asia. Tape-made very schematic and similar furniture.
Ancestry as important as pedigree!
I would divide them into two groups, one is modern ” luxury desks ” – mainly based on schematic aluminum legs, and more classic ones based on wood. The latter exceptionally resemble wood, which of course is very misleading. Because it is mainly particle mass…. with veneer.
In general, the so-called ” luxury desks ” from China cost up to 7 – 8 thousand zlotys. Although most of them oscillate within the range of up to 3 thousand zlotys. Now, dear customer, think how does a manufacturer from such a distant country earn money? Where are the transportation costs?
The answer is very simple, they are very cheap furniture to make, and sellers impose skyrocketing markups that you pay for!
Luxury desks – please meet the manufacturer
Everything is determined by details and nuances. Therefore, I never generalize, because there are real furniture manufacturers in China as well. You can never generalize and lump anyone together….
That’s why, when you see an offer in an online store, check to see if the manufacturer’s name is next to the picture of the desk. Someone who makes luxury desks certainly identifies with them and strongly emphasizes their history.
Honest truth better than deception….
Brands love to show and tell about themselves. So look if the name is there, where the company came from and what it really represents. Anyway, you can find out about everything from Uncle Google….
Usually where there is only the name of the desk, usually very fancy, and no manufacturer is attributed it is a typical mass from china. Ok, this topic is exhausted!
Luxury desks – where does the price come from?
The price as I mentioned consists of very many nuances. The first and probably the most important is the raw materials used. They are the ones that create the prestige of the furniture, set the tone, chic and all the glitz. They are the ones that determine what the weight is, i.e. steel, copper, aluminum, iron, chrome and natural wood.
They smell amazing when you enter the office, as evidenced by the skins used. And they also attract like a magnet to our eyes when the manufacturer adds a crystals, or 24 karat gold.
Never ending story
Materials and product is a never-ending story, with many species of wood like baobab, heather, bubinga, etc….varieties of metals and leather. However, this is not all that determines the price. There are manufactories that make many of the semi-finished products by hand. The entire creation process is extremely time-consuming and the resultingluxury desks Are made practically only by people.
This is a very valuable practice today, so appreciate it and the people who love their work! Not all the furniture we have on offer is handmade. This is already a dependence and brand choice.
I emphasize that luxury Is closely related to the brand and people. Therefore, many of them choose to work with good designers.A sizable portion of exclusive office desks is designed by well-known and respected artists in the design world.
It’s a deliberate intention of the manufactory to have the given furniture models signed by exceptional artists. So, this is another price component you wanted to know about…..
Luxury desks - amazing accessories and add-onsIn fact, little surprises me. Leather tops, crystal accessories, 24 karat gold, or finally strawberry tree. But extras like the safe in the desk make a really nice impression and a real luxury.
Not one of the owners of such furniture would like to have an elegantly hidden safe in his desk, or a pull-out discreet bar – as they say ” YOU SAY AND THERE YOU HAVE IT!
An automated desk?
What surprised me on the level of the subject under discussion was the automatically extending lamp in one of the desks of the Tecnoarredo brand. The Orion model in question, in addition to the central locking system, ( not to be confused with a car ) has an automatic desk-top light, with remote control!
Actually, with the class of this furniture, you can order a wide variety of functionalities and add-ons upon request. It’s a matter of looking at the project, your office, your study and what you expect. Well, but that’s what the Luxury Products team is for.
Luxury desks, are not just about raw materials, designers, or manufactures. Because, with money, any brand can create something that calls itself luxury, which will not be it at all. In addition to a lot of effort, sweat, blood and tears, the product must have that something in it.
When you enter such an office, you already know and feel that you are dealing with presence and chic. Luxury is sensed, perceived differently. I realize this when I introduce each new brand to our boutique.
Experience has taught us not to call everything that glitters gold. Therefore, we choose not to work with everyone. This is the key to creating a good climate for luxury – believe me!
