Touted as a market of immense potential for property development, Indonesia stands on the precipice of a boom in office building projects. A 2014 report from Colliers International Indonesia posits that the Greater Jakarta area alone will see upwards of 1 million square metres added in newly completed office buildings as of 2015, followed by another 650,000 square meters in 2016. As a manufacturer of office furniture, Chitose stands among the companies most likely to benefit from this timely opportunity and has actively sought to make available a comprehensive range of working and meeting space products to meet all customer needs (See Chitose Working & Meeting Space Furniture Products & Specs).

Following a strategy similar to its entry into the hospitality sector, Chitose’s first venture into office furniture was characterised by a measured approach in which the company first focused on a product closely linked to its prevailing area of expertise: chairs. In the 1980s, the company launched its first desk chair – the 850 series – from which it has since expanded to offer more than 15 different models each carefully designed by a team of engineers applying the latest in ergonomic principles. A thorough research and development process ensures maximum comfort and minimum strain on the body through features such as high and low back support.

Also manufactured with total commitment to combining style with comfort, Chitose’s meeting chairs are made available in a variety of designs and colours to suit diverse tastes in office décor. Ranging from the bold Sankei C-395 catering to companies projecting vibrancy, to the more refined PVC leather Olive model for those with more understated preferences; the Chitose line of meeting chairs facilitates the company’s ability to serve all business types as a one stop shop for office furniture.

Strengthening Chitose’s position as a total solutions provider for working and meeting space furniture is its array of tables, racks and storage manufactured using powder coated steel and responsibly sourced particle board. Flexibility in fulfilling individual customer requirements has seen the company develop an extensive portfolio of end tables, desks, shelves, cabinets and lockers. The company also makes available a selection of furniture designated for lobby space including waiting area seating and plush synthetic leather sofas equipped with advanced features such as complete 180 degree recline. A focus on efficiency-driven design ensures that these products can be easily stacked up and folded to maximise space in office lobbies.
