    Specifying Every Detail

    A key part of any project team, our experienced specifiers understand every nuance of office furnishings. They can see the vision of the finished workspace as well as the big picture of what it actually takes to make it a reality. With years of experience working on the company’s largest accounts, they can offer surprising solutions to thorny design problems. Our specifying department utilizes the latest design technology available, including AutoCAD and CAP, allowing us to provide the visuals our clients need to make key product decisions for their space.

    Accurate Project Management

    Ensuring everyone has the most up-to-date information to be able to make timely and accurate decisions is critical. Historically, teams in the field were often disconnected with teams in the office resulting in a number of issues. Our teams use proprietary software to view drawings, documents, specs, punchlists, RFIs, photos, installation instructions and more in real time, from anywhere.

    North America Icon

    Coast-to-Coast

    As our client's needs outgrow the state of provincial lines of our showroom locations, our coverage doesn’t have to stop there. We regularly partner with our clients on projects located across North America to provide a consistent, single point of contact. We aid in the development of standardized programs for your brand, and utilize our proven network of hundreds of installation companies in every state and province. We also dedicate a project manager to be present on every job site no matter where the project is located.

    Your Personal Furniture Shopper

    As the way work has changed, so have the spaces that we work in. The ancillary furniture category, which encompasses lounge, coffee tables, lighting, accessories, and more, is becoming primary furniture.

      Ancillary is the New Primary

      We have ancillary curators who have years of experience in the industry, cultivating relationships with dozens of manufacturers and keeping up with the latest furniture trends in order to meet your needs. Our team folds seamlessly into the larger project team and can help identify, evaluate and vet various product options for every area of the workspace—saving design firm partners hours and clients dollars.

      Alternate Selections

      No need to comb through thousands of furniture pieces to find the perfect ancillary product for your environment. We have access to hundreds of manufacturers and can identify a variety of ancillary options alongside design firm partners. These ‘alternate’ selections can save budget and fit within a tight timeline.

      Custom Solutions

      When specified furniture doesn’t meet all your needs, we can help customize a piece to your liking. We have access to manufacturers across the globe to create a bespoke solution for your environment.
