Home office furniture in the U.S. - statistics & facts
As the coronavirus emerged on the North American continent in March 2020, public life was abruptly called to a halt. Major events were canceled, stores were closed, and many Americans were forced to work from home. Whereas some may have hoped that this work-from-home phase would only be a temporary necessity, soon it became clear that the American office worker was confined to the home office for the foreseeable future. Working from home came with a large set of challenges, for employers and employees alike. Whereas some welcomed the new office setting, others struggled with the social dynamic, or lack thereof, in the home office. In addition, the new status quo required changes to be made in people鈥檚 homes. Home offices had to be upgraded or built up from scratch, leading to increased demand in the niche market of home office furniture.
