The word ‘table’ has been derived from a Latin word ‘tabula’ meaning ‘plank’ or ‘flat piece of wood’. The tables of ancient times were quite different in purpose than the tables of today. Egyptians used tables for playing games and putting stuff. Chinese used wooden tables for creating artwork and Greeks were the first people to use a table as a dining place.

One of the oldest bookshelves in the world is placed at the Bodleian Library at Oxford University. The university also has a claim of having one of the oldest libraries in the entire Europe.

We owe the invention of basic office chairs to the naturalist, biologist and geologist, Charles Darwin in the 1800. Nowadays, no offices are without the chairs that have no wheels. These chairs provide easier access to any nearby desk or cupboard.

In the 17th century, the first desks were introduced to the world, which was known as ‘bureaus’. They looked like a solid oak desk, only with an additional feature of the tabletop being opened. Due to this feature, these desks were also called sloping front desks. Once the UK was struck by the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century, newer and modified forms of desks started emerging.

Office chairs and armchairs did not always have arms. In the office, it wasn’t recommended to have chairs with armrests. Why? Because it got in the way of getting closer to the desk. However, adjustable armrests are now being seen in the workplaces.
