One solution for most offices strapped for space would be to try to pack more workers into the same work area to save money on rentals and furniture. Enter Wilsin Office Furniture, which has come up with a unique design for maximizing office seating and workspaces. Through its in-house research and development, the homegrown firm in Singapore came up with Deskspace, a series of office furniture that has components which can be reused and extended to accommodate more workers in the same space. Says Cindee Sim, founder and managing director of Wilsin, “Nowadays, most office staff use a laptop to work. It won't be long before they need only an iPad, and will need even less space than before.”

According to Ms. Sim, the company’s first overseas foray in Russia led to Wilsin's exploration of other markets such as Brunei, Indonesia, Maldives and Mongolia. Wilsin has ventured overseas largely through agents and it has been especially successful in Mongolia. Says Ms. Sim, “We have a strong market presence in Mongolia, almost 80 per cent of the office furniture there is from us, which makes us almost a monopoly."
