First, what is the gig economy? The gig economy refers to replacing the traditional nine-to-five work form with a form of work with “shorter hours and greater flexibility”, and it is also a new form of human resource allocation.
In markets such as Australia, commercial projects are a major growth area for the construction industry. The rapid growth of commercial buildings and the advent of the era of the gig economy affect designers in at least two ways: one is to improve their creativity and innovation; the other is to force them to break the mindset and find ways to provide more space solutions , modular space solutions have therefore attracted much attention.
Under the epidemic, modular space solutions can provide more flexible, healthier and more efficient office space for various types of users. With its flexibility, convenience and cost advantages, the demand is increasing day by day.
The era of the ‘gig economy’ calls for new space solutions
According to information from China’s Human Resources and Social Security Bureau and other departments, the scale of flexible employment in China has reached about 200 million, which means that the era of “gig economy” has arrived.
The relationship between modular furniture and modular space solutions
In the mid-1980s, it was the era when open office space was popular in Europe and the United States, and modular furniture became the mainstream product in the office. As the name suggests, modular furniture refers to furniture that can be easily disassembled and reassembled according to changes in space and needs. From an asset management point of view, modular furniture consists of different components, which can be workstations, lounge sofas, or other furniture categories, but they are all important components of modular space solutions. When we classify furniture as “modules”, they can be classified as “minor” or “important” inventory, and listed in various inventory assets for capitalization.

The economic benefits of modular furniture
Today’s commercial space promotes people-centred values, with a stronger link between health and efficiency. The survey by Australian private insurers showed healthy workers were effectively working 150 hours a month, compared to just 49 hours for non-healthy workers. There is a consensus that health problems lead to reduced productivity at work. Nationwide, economic losses due to sick leave amount to $32 billion a year, and healthy working practices boost employee attendance.
Unique advantages of modular furniture
Modular furniture can meet the individual needs of employees in a simple way. Additional modules such as monitor stands, computer desks, storage cabinets, etc. can be easily integrated into the modular system for added convenience to users. Taking modular workstations as an example, this kind of furniture composed of height-adjustable desks can adapt to the physical characteristics and health requirements of users, and provide users with rich choices.
