The Union Square Collection is a modular format with five pieces, four finish options and multiple configuration possibilities and functions including computer and electronics capabilities, a standing-option desk and storage.

The pieces range in retail price points from $399 for the lift-top desk and end table to $899 for the bunching bookshelf with six shelves, and finish options are Slate Gray, Ivory, Inkwell and Sable Gray.

“Our retail partners came to us looking for solutions in the growing home office category,” said Neill Robinson, president and chief executive officer.

“They told us there is not enough selection or functional solutions in office furniture currently. A significant number of consumers are working at least part of the time from home today, as many companies offer flexible work schedules in the post-pandemic environment,” he said.

While the collection is concise with five total SKUs, there are four finish options and a multiple number of configuration possibilities.

“The retailer could show one configuration with all the finishes, and through point-of-purchase materials, be able to have one of the most productive areas in their store in terms of sales per square foot and turns,” Robinson said.

Legacy Classic | Modern has offered writing desks in many of its whole home collections but has never done a complete home-office dedicated program.

“Our home office sales were up 30 to 40 percent last year, and we believe this is a growing category for the foreseeable future,” Robinson said.
