New from West Elm Workspace for 2017

West Elm Workspace was all the buzz at this year’s Neocon, the world’s premier show and networking event for the commercial design industry.  Neocon is a great opportunity for contract furniture manufacturers and others to showcase new products, designs and innovations they are working on releasing in the next few months or so.  Each industry leader creates a showroom that features all of their new products and West Elm Workspace went all out.  They used their “unoffice the office” theme as inspiration to focus on humanizing the workspace with flexible and meaningful additions to their line.  And who could do that better than West Elm, a brand of Williams-Sonoma, Inc. that focuses on supplying its customer base with modern design, affordability and community.

West Elm Workspace was awarded Gold in Furniture Systems and Silver in Furniture Benching for their new Conduit Benching System that will also be available with height adjustable work surfaces.  Conduit is a collaboration with world-renowned design firm Gensler.  Conduit is an office system that provides integrated power distribution and space planning flexibility to create different work zones from individual workstations to meeting tables. From shelves to coat racks to privacy screens, accessories can conveniently be integrated to the system for employee workspace personalization.

Also at Neocon this year, The Parasol Meeting Table was a HiP 2017 Winner for Workplace: Tables from Interior Design Magazine which honors industry people and innovative products.  The Parasol Meeting Table uses light as a boundary to define its space, providing the same benefits and functions of an enclosed meeting area with the absence of walled-in meeting rooms. It comfortably seats up to six people and includes integrated power distribution.

Workspaces are for People…

West Elm Workspace – Mid-Century Private Office

Workspaces are for people.  They should be personal.  When West Elm, a Williams-Sonoma, Inc. branch, wanted to furnish their offices in New York, they searched the contract furniture community for something that would speak to their corporate culture.  They couldn’t find it.  And West Elm Workspace was born.  Showrooms are popping up all over the country, including ours in Pittsburgh, supplying business professionals with the same style options and functionality they desire for their homes.  Jim Brett, West Elm’s President, says “As a lifestyle brand rooted in home, we’re uniquely attuned to what people want in their daily lives.  That knowledge gives us a powerful lens on how to make work environments more personal and meaningful.”

Started in Brooklyn, NY in 2002, West Elm focuses on supplying its customer base with modern design, affordability and community.  West Elm offers items to furnish and style your home from comfortable and affordable furniture to decorating accessories, and everything in between.  And now, West Elm Workspace with Inscape is doing the same for office spaces.

Benching for open office plans has become very popular in the contract furniture industry in the last few years, but the private office cannot be ignored.  Executives and managers are searching for options that not only fit their work needs, but give them the opportunity to express their personal styles through their work spaces.  West Elm Workspace has choices that will speak to each person’s tastes, including Modern, Industrial, Mid-Century, Truss, Spindle, and Beam.  Of course, extra surfaces and storage solutions can be added to desks to increase functionality.

Spotlight On West Elm Workspace’s New Industrial Desk

Engineered for both collaboration and concentration, the West Elm Workspace Industrial Desk allows for a balance of time alone and teamwork.  A convenient side pedestal file keeps accessories and personal items organized and out of sight.

A solid wood case and surface is covered in natural oak veneer with hot rolled steel frame.

The pedestal’s locking drawers hold pens, papers, files and other office accessories.

Finished on all sides, this desk can float in a room.

 

 

West Elm Workspace Pittsburgh on Penn Avenue, Downtown, has a beautiful Industrial Benching System with four workstations.  Call 412-213-5330 for an appointment to see it up close and personal.

So why has the industrial look become so popular?

West Elm Workspace explains, “Industrialism is synonymous with American innovation.  Industrial shapes evolved based on repetition – the geometry of factory-produced parts fit together into products as varied as smart phones, laptops and task chairs.  The same iconography is alive and well in these collections.  Matter-of-fact factory style translates into a respect for materials as they are.”

We say GO FOR IT!
