Dave Clark Automotive furniture on theofficechairshop.co.uk

It's been an interesting week here at theofficechairshop.co.uk.


In my last blog i told you about the incredible Dave Clark Designs furniture.

I had a good chat with Dave last week and we have agreed to offer his furniture through our site which i'm excited about.


Dave's work is incredible. The quality is second to none and the designs are just stunning.

There are lots of variations on the theme of car seat furniture.

These tend to be standard office chair hardware such as base, piston and mechanism, bolted to the bottom of a car seat.

In my opinion these are boring, ugly and unimaginative. 


I would be concerned that the centre of gravity may not be correct, weight distribution may not be correct, the angle of the seat base may not be correct for an office chair as the seat is fixed at a slightly more laid back angle in the car.








For me the biggest crime is lack of imagination. In most cases they are simply an office chair with a car seat replacing the office chair. 


These chairs can be anything from £200 ish to well over £1000. I've even seen these on one web site for several thousands! Madness.

When you compare these after-thoughts with the furniture produced by Dave Clark it's like night and day.

Dave's designs are pure art, like a sculpture that happens to be functional furniture.

Over the next couple of days we will be adding some of Dave's chairs to the site.
I'll post the links as they are added.


One of the most amazing aspects of this furniture is the price, or lack of it!


These are truly hand built pieces and due to the fact that these chairs can be specified to highly personalised degree it is likely they will be totally one offs.


For example, if a clip chair is specified with stainless steel frame with a blue Panamera seat it's possible that no one will specify this combination again making it a one off.


For a bespoke piece of incredible quality, beautifully hand crafted furniture you would probably expect a price tag of several thousands of pound. Not so!


This amazing furniture is available for very reasonable prices making them a realistic proposition.

This is the Clip which will be offered for circa £395 depending on frame finish and chair specified. Now that is incredible value.










We sell a range of reception suites that are hundreds of pounds.


Can you imaging having a bespoke, hand made Dave Clark suite instead? What a talking point, what wow factor. 

It's not just seats either. Anything is possible.
If you have a requirement, just pick up the phone for a chat. What have you got to lose?

So, here we go. My first blog.


Social media has become such a huge part of the on line revolution that we have to jump aboard.
I guess i'd better introduce myself. I am Mark Turner and i run the show day to day here at theofficechairshop.co.uk.


For me this provides a great opportunity to get closer to our friends. By friends i guess i mean customers and potential customers.
I have had many discussions about how we close the gap, bring our friends in closer, let them get to know us and feel secure using us. This could be the answer.


As a customer you are faced with a dazzling choice of potential on line stores. They could be run by a huge team in a flash office or a con man in his bedroom, how do you know?????


Honestly i don't know but if you're like me, sceptical, you'll do your homework. Google them, see what comes up. Call them maybe? How do they treat you on the phone? Do they sound bothered?
Anyone can build a website these days. My 11 year old son has dabbled at building one primary school.


So, once you've researched the company and feel safe, what next?
How do you make the purchasing decision? All you have is a picture and a basic description that seems to suggest the item it the best thing ever made.
That's another tricky one but i always read product descriptions with a cynical attitude. 

I am fully aware the seller is trying to sell so isn't going to tell me about the bad points. You have to work them out for yourself.
Read between the lines, assume the worse and don't buy if you're not sure.
I always encourage people to call us and we will gladly talk about any of the office chair, office desks or anything else we sell. If we're not sure we can find out. It's not hard but customer service will be a discussion for another time!!


We have some ideas for site development that go along the lines of 360 degree video clips of the office chairs, close ups, features etc. These all take time and cost money but i think they close the gap and help you see more about the chairs and office furniture we offer. 
You still can't actually touch the fabric on an operator chair or feel the leather on a leather executive chair but you will be able to get a much better idea of how the chair works, what the levers do and that kind of thing.


So that's it for now. I'll add some features etc as we go on. See how it goes. Feel free to add any comments or questions. You can contact me through our main site on the link above.








Cheers
Mark
