Morphology
The meaning 'furniture intended for use in an office' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'office' (a place of work) with 'furniture' (large items that furnish a space). This simple noun–noun compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
The compound office furniture is a simple name for the pieces used in a workplace. The word office shows the place and furniture means things like 'desks' and 'chairs', so it means 'furniture used in an office'.
