Vintage office furniture and used office furniture: USM Haller, Vitra, Fritz Hansen

Products

Used office furniture is where second hand saves the most: the classics come from closed offices and cost a fraction of the list price.

At 2nd home you will find vintage office furniture and used office furniture from second hand: desks, bureaus and pedestals by USM Haller, Aluminium Group office chairs by Vitra and Herman Miller, the Oxford by Arne Jacobsen for Fritz Hansen, 1970s fibreglass desks, plus single pieces. Every piece is described with all dimensions. For a targeted search, go to the office chairs and to USM Haller, for home to the home office.

What should you look for in used office furniture?

On chairs, at mechanism and gas lift: they must adjust and hold their height. On desks, at the top, which may have scratches but no deep burn marks, and at the height, usually 72 to 75 centimetres. On USM, at complete ball connectors and panels. Everything we know is stated with every piece, and on office chairs we do not name operating hours, but the condition of castors and upholstery.

What is especially worth buying used?

Office chairs of the classic class: a Vitra EA 117 costs four figures new, and aluminium and mechanism are built for constant use. USM desks and pedestals are sought after by collectors because the system has fitted together for sixty years and can be extended at any time.

Why office furniture from second hand?

Because many of them were built for heavy daily use and a closed office often releases pieces that were barely used.
