The complete executive office furniture suite now includes such essential ingredients as a recliner, a meeting table and of course the prerequisite executive desk and accompanying leather chair. While all of these components have existed for many years separately, only now are they being designed and utilized specifically for the office.
Take for example what was always a large rectangular wooden office desk. More often than not this had been replaced by a kidney shaped glass or Formica topped desk that emphasized shared movement so as to better facilitate pivoting from one computer WorkStation to another.

In contrast, during meeting downtime, small compact recliners seem to be fitted into every management office so as to allow the highly productive catnap.
