What Do Pineapples and Office Furniture Have in Common?

What Do Pineapples and Office Furniture Have in Common?

šŸ Here’s a fun fact you didn’t know you needed:

In the 1700s, pineapples weren’t just a tasty snack; they were the ultimate party flex.

Ā 
Shipped in from the Caribbean and costing today’s equivalent of thousands of pounds, these showpieces were far too expensive for most people to eat.šŸ’°

So… they rented them. 🤯

Yes, really! A pineapple would be displayed at parties and events, passed from household to household, until it was finally eaten (or simply too wilted to keep showing off).

Ā 


šŸ’” It was a practical solution: enjoy the prestige without the waste or full ownership cost.

Fast-forward a few centuries, and Circular Office Group is doing the same thing… but for your office. šŸ¢

The pineapple rental craze may have passed, but the smart thinking behind it is ripe for a comeback.😜
