It may seem that arranging a gaming station is no different to setting up a working space – it is enough to find a place for a computer or a console. In reality, it is a bit more complicated. The most important part is the gaming equipment, but it sits on is equally essential. That determines whether the many hour long gameplay will be successful and if the player can relax. Convenient gaming chair and practical desk for a gamer are of great importance for their comfort. And their stylish surrounding influences the mood, helping to immerse in the virtual world or distracting. Gamer’s room doesn’t have to be big, a designated corner will be enough – as long as it is thoughtfully prepared.
How to arrange a gaming corner to fulfil all their needs? What furniture to choose for it to be ergonomic and functional independent on the type and size of the space? What to do to make gaming even better?
Gaming chair
Let’s begin with the chair. Even though the desk is the element that designates gaming space, the seat is more essential for the gameplay. The chair provides comfort and a proper position in front of the screen, causes or prevents health issues resulting from long sitting. Proper gaming chair swivels, guarantees the freedom of movement and ability to change position or to reach everything that’s needed. It has to be ergonomic, solid and stable, at best supported on a metal frame. The materials of the chair are also important: soft foam filling and water- and friction-proof upholstery fabrics. Thanks to them, the gaming chair will be able to provide its user with a good sitting position and proper support for their back, neck and arms. Armrests, headrest and additional lumber support are a must. Ideally a bucket deep seat should be contoured. Another necessity is the possibility to adjust the position of all elements, allowing the user to match the seat to their individual needs and preferences.

Sava is such a chair. Ergonomic and fully adjustable, it allows the user to set the angle of backrest and headrest deflection, the height of the seat and all planes of the armrests. The height of the additional lumber support is also adjustable. Enabling for a fitting of all elements to the sitter, Sava stays comfortable even while used for long hours. Its simple form will look great in various interiors, and the ability to configure its materials will help match it with the arrangement.
Desk for a gamer
Even the most comfortable chair will not be enough without a proper gaming desk. It has to be designed with hours-long use in mind, durable and functional. While choosing a desk you should pay attention to the size and surface of the desktop, materials it is made of and the ability to adjust the height. This function will be perfect for younger games that will still grow, at the same time helping to fit the desk to the height of the user and enabling them to change position to standing without pausing the game. The top should be big enough to accommodate all necessary equipment – the computer, a monitor or two, all accessories – and still leave space for mouse movements. It would be best equipped with a series of additions that organise the space, such as a hook for the headphones, a grip for the drink or a stand for the screen.
The space underneath the desk is as important as its surface. While sitting for long hours, the gamer needs to move their legs freely, stretch them or bend. Usually, the drawers and tangled cables make it difficult. Gamer’s desk should have an integrated cable management system, either through grommets and mediaboxes, or through extension cord rails.
Desks in the Ogi Drive range are made of durable materials: MDF board and laminate, supported on stable metal bases. Electric height regulation system and the possibility to choose its size will allow for a fitting of the desk to the user. A wide range of functional additions is also available: a suspended computer holder, sockets and rails for the cables, mediaboxes and panels with handles (that can also cover the gamer from the light) – thanks to them everything will be close at hand, and the tidy desktop will provide much space for the mouse.
Gaming accessories
Functionality of a gaming station can be further enhanced due to thoughtful additions to the space. Those will most of all be pedestals placed close to the desk. They will accommodate all necessary accessories and spare elements, but also CDs with games or the CPU, that need some space itself. They can enlarge the desktop space, serving as a mini table for the snacks.
In such containers the gamer can hide their trophies and gadgets from their favourite games. However, it is better to place them on a shelf of a small bookcase – so that they can please the eye and catch attention of any guests and streaming viewers. It is the gadgets that provide the space with a gaming style, helping to immerse into the virtual world. LED lights fitted to the shelf or desk will serve a similar aim. Just after posters, they are the most stylish decoration of a gamer’s room. A less typical addition to the gaming nook will be a footrest, helping to put one’s leg up comfortably during a long gameplay.
A gaming space arranged in such way will satisfy even the most demanding gamer. Even if only a small space is available, it will be practical and comfortable. And will surely become the gaming command centre.
