When is a Door not a Door? When it’s a Tambour

In the constant battle to make the most of limited office space, every little thing comes under scrutiny, and that includes the humble door. Whoever invented the horizontal door that simply swings open must wish they had done it centuries later when they could have patented the idea and made countless millions from one simple yet brilliant idea. However, the standard side-hinged number does have its drawbacks, and in a small space such as an office, any cabinet or cupboard with doors that open outwards automatically gets in people’s way.

Car manufacturers have addressed the issue more than interior designers, with their Back to The Future-style gullwing doors and the ones that swing up without moving outwards at all. Inside a room, there are sliding doors, but the cheaper they are, the less effectively they work. One idea that does work well is the slatted sliding doors you find on units called tambours. A tambour in NZ can come in many different configurations, and if you browse through our online catalogue, you are sure to find something that fits the bill for your application.

An office tambour is not all about the door, but that’s the distinctive feature so that’s why they are called tambours. The door generally closes the upper part of the office cabinet from nz, while below there are drawers.

How an Office Tambour can give Shape and Improve the Ambience

Our units come in a variety of shapes and sizes, including the narrow-but-deep shape that makes them ideal as room dividers. If you have the luxury of a bit of space that just looks a little characterless, you can use a tambour to break it up and separate one specialist area from another. We also have styles that are made to have a few plants on top, and that can be important, because psychologists tell us a patch of the green and natural does wonders for the working environment, even reducing stress levels. From a more conventional point of view, plants just look nice, making the place feel more like home. After all, it is possible to concentrate and be productive without being grimly nose-to-the-grindstone the whole time.

Whether you use it as a room divider or not, a tambour that doubles as a planter gives a pleasant ambience, and that is an important consideration in these enlightened times.

What are Cupboards and Drawers for Anyway?

Cupboards and drawers are for putting things in – no more and no less. They are the acceptable alternative to having stuff lying around, getting damaged and mixed up. They are a means of organising. What you keep in your tambour behind the rolling doors is entirely up to you, and you can choose the unit you need according to whether it’s just drawers full of odds and ends you require or a place to hang files and folders. The paperless office may be the ultimate goal in many people’s books, but it’s not here yet and we need things like tambour cabinets to see us through to that day when digital dominance is declared officially. In the meantime, “Where is the Smith & Jones file?” “Right over there in the tambour, bottom drawer.”

And here’s another question: “How come your office looks so nice and tidy when mine is a dusty concrete jungle?” “Ah, I put a lot of thought into the home office furniture from nz. Have you ever heard of an office tambour? You should get one. Have a look at the Hurdleys website. Loads of great ideas on there.” Read Less
