“Combining an uncomplicated, relaxed design language with durability and sustainability, the Recess range of office furniture has tapped into the current rethinking of work practices.”
“Sustainability is a big focus for the brand. It uses FSC-certified wood for all its timber-based products and its packaging is recyclable.”
“Made with the highest quality materials, recycled plastic acoustic panels and ethically certified wood.”
“Sometimes a great idea all comes down to design. Plenty of people are drawn to the iPhone and pay a premium, because of great design and so it is for sustainable office furniture startup Recess.”
"Move aside WeWork, start-ups are making their own share offices."

Just what I needed
“My old 'office' chair has been causing me discomfort for a couple of years, but I've never found what seemed to be the right replacement. Tried instead various cushions and chair pads, until RECESS came up on my FB feed. The adjustments are perfect and it's really comfortable, and looks much less obtrusive in our lounge-study space. Could not be happier! 😍 This company ticks all the boxes - family-owned, Aussie-manufactured, recycled materials, great design and excellent service. A pleasure doing business with you.”

“My wife and I have had 2x Ergo chairs for a couple of weeks now and we're pretty happy overall. High quality build/materials, easy to follow assembly instructions and quite comfortable. Lumbar support only has a minor adjustment but still better than a plain mesh back. Honestly much better than Officeworks offerings at the same price point.”
- Aaron Luke W.Excellent Quality, Quick Delivery
“Very happy with my decision! This chair is excellent quality, looks great and is very supportive. This is one of the better priced desk chairs I was considering and it has fulfilled all my requirements. Also relatively quick delivery to the Hunter region - within 2 days after purchase.”

“I recently bought the Stand-Up Desk and could not be happier with the service or product. Each component of the table is strong and well built and when combined they are unstoppable! I do a lot of audio and visual recording in my day so stability and absorption are very important to me and I am thrilled with the outcome.”-Josh
- Sophie C.Beautiful chair
“The chair delivered was exactly same one that I expected. Its beautiful design and material was good quality. I was a bit worried about assembly but it was super easy due to manual. My first impression after complete assembly was extremely smooth in terms of rolling. The sitting experience was also excellent cause I felt my back was fully supported. I bought many chairs from local officework stores but definitely I can say this is different class and different level of quality.”
