Hinchada Lounge, Modular lounge by OFS

Utilizing versatile benching products and lounge seating, Clearlink was able to create a high performance space that sets them apart from other online marketing companies. They now have an environment that supports their culture and work styles in open and private settings.

The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) sought to create a versatile space that accentuated their location behind Independence Hall. This space needed to seamlessly transition from an open plan to private offices, including spaces for entertainment, connection, and focus.

Despite their variety of needs, Meyer Design sought an efficient and cost effective solution that could accommodate limited design hours. OFS Brands’ array of space solutions and National IPA contract proved perfect to craft a functional, beautiful, and personalized space that went beyond their expectations.

By using the National IPA contract which offers a great pricing structure, there was no reason to send the furniture package to bid. This allowed the design team the time and freedom to fully specify one manufacturer and delve deep into the options they had to offer. The time typically allocated to bidding could now be spent paying attention to details within the design. The overall project was a success and the client is very happy! - Deb Breslow, Principal at Meyer Design

For Source Four’s 35th anniversary, President Jeff Riley decided to revamp and rebrand by creating a new Denver OFS Showroom. They chose an 8,000 square foot space in the Golden Triangle, overlooking the Cherry Creek bike path. Located in the heart of downtown Denver, it provides easy access for the design community and an incredible space for the growing Source Four team. This new space also integrates WELL concepts and Activity Based Design principles to encourage team productivity. In-house designer Haley Koci and the Source Four team came up with a homeful, warm, rich color palette and inviting space design to make the new showroom their own.

Source Four has partnered with OFS for 29 years, aligning on shared culture and family values, and enjoying the breadth and versatility of OFS products. Thus, Source Four immediately chose OFS Furniture wherever possible. The team created several different types of spaces: third space, private office, open plan, and a semi-private office. Source Four’s space also displays a mix of blended modern, conventional design and technology. This not only served as the perfect “home” workspace for associates but provides a great resource for clients to observe the expansive product offerings in an inspirational and compelling space.

Sleep Number’s lease was up, so they decided to pair moving from a suburban neighborhood to downtown Minneapolis with a complete rebrand. They hoped that their new space could better reflect their identity and accommodate all employees comfortably despite smaller square footage. In order to do this, the HGA design team, Parameters, and OFS representative Ben Wagner worked together. Ultimately, Sleep Number and HGA decided to imagine the office like a city, small neighborhoods connected by avenues in between and centralized by a large plaza on each floor—all tied together by a soft Nordic palette. These spaces employed much more “we” space than “me” space, an adjustment, but driver of collaboration and connection. A long-standing friendship and an aligned vision led Sleep Number to choose OFS furniture for large portions of their ancillary space. Today, the new space not only encourages employee relationships and wellness, it inspires all who visit and reflects a hotel-open office feeling that captures the imagination and draws visitors in to learn more.

Leaders at ClosetMaid wanted to update their office building to create a more department-specific, modern space to better support the needs of each employee. With the help of HKS, Hunton Brady, and Common Sense Office Furniture, ClosetMaid chose OFS furniture to bring a warm, homeful feel to their updated office. Together with Hanson Construction, they brought their dream office to life, creating a space that blends modern and homeful, collaborative and private spaces, to help their employees do their best work.

Montana State University sought to create a new residence hall for the campus, fostering a space for connection and focus for students. The building was designed with a smaller footprint and sustainability in mind, featuring solar panels and maximizing heat retention in winter. They also considered the best way to meet students' needs by creating a variety of different spaces, including study rooms, a central lobby, kitchen, lounge, and connection spaces throughout the residence hall. We were proud to collaborate with SMA Architects, Jackson Contractor Group, and NAC Architects to create a cohesive space for students to thrive.

DLR Group was tasked with transforming the 2nd floor of an existing building on the University of Miami's campus into a vibrant student village that would support various student organizations. To start, DLR Group established interactive engagement sessions with the students and faculty themselves, as well as the University of Miami's Office of Design and Construction to discover how to best represent each group and support their individual needs. 

The Whitten Center Student Village provides space for various cultural student organizations reflecting the vibrant community at the University of Miami. To best highlight each group, DLR Group turned to their in-house Experiential Graphics Team to create custom murals throughout the space. They also made sure to meet with each student org to choose a color palette and patterns that would best represent their unique cultural identities. The Village also houses the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs, the LGBTQ+ Student Center, the Graduate Student Organization, and the newly implemented Veteran Resource Center. Several open student lounges encourage collaboration and engagement between these groups and all students who pass through the Whitten Center.

“I am proud of many different things on the project, but my favorite part was seeing the joy and excitement on the students’ faces when they came in for the photoshoot.” - Karli Kronmiller, DLR Group
