Just as important are the chairs. The color of the chairs must match the colors of the utensils to create a sense of color coordination in the room. The color, red, is said to stimulate the appetite.

After several years of healthy growth during the second half of the 1990s, the office furniture industry in Great Britain has entered a phase of stagnation or only modest growth. Most of the observed growth goes on account of higher prices. Sales in real-terms - that is after the elimination of the impact of inflation - are now approximately thirty percent lower than at the beginning of this century. We anticipate that growth this year and again next year will remain lacklustre and hover around the two percent range. If our predictions are correct, the market value will exceed for the first time the ?700 million mark this year.

Sales of filing cabinets and other office storage furniture fared particularly poorly.
