Design, Materiality, Performance: Who says you can't have it all?

Read 5 mins

Let’s face it—work is hard enough without having to stare at bland colors and harsh lighting all day. When people come into the office they need spaces that work as hard as they do. So why not do that in style?

Steelcase is making this easier by expanding its already extensive portfolio, which includes the turnstone and Coalesse brands, and developing new partnerships with design icons Blu Dot, Bolia, FLOS, Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams and Viccarbe that add a few extra touches to some existing Steelcase favorites.

Besides offering designers and clients more options to create their own statement in the office, the Steelcase dealer network makes the effort of curating a diverse selection of products a whole lot easier. If you’re looking for ideas and inspiration to give your office a boost, you’ve come to the right place.
