7.14.08 | Jeff Brock is the general manger of the Columbus, OH, office of LOTH, a Cincinnati-based Steelcase dealership led by J.B. Buse, Chairman and CEO, and Rick Mader, president. Last week, Mr. Brock proudly opened LOTH'’s new Columbus Resource Center during a ribbon-cutting and open house at 855 Grandview Avenue, Grandview Heights, OH.

7.7.08 | One may be surprised to learn that up until last week, Gunlocke did not have a showroom in Washington DC. The wood furniture manufacturer has a naturally strong presence in government design, and the new DC showroom, located two blocks from the White House, seems a particularly appropriate setting to celebrate the newest step in Gunlocke’'s recent and ongoing re-branding efforts.

6.2.08 | After years of experiencing the building through AutoCAD layers and endless combinations of PowerPoint slides, I was finally walking through the door of Haworth Center in Holland, MI. I floated past the greeters in a stupor, and felt my knees go weak. Is this waking life, or am I trapped in a Perkins+Will rendering?

5.26.08 | Sustainable design got a very visible boost this week with the opening of Haworth’'s radically reworked headquarters building. Heralded during its design and construction phases as a model of environmental sensitivity, the structure unveiled on May 21 delivers convincingly on its promise.

5.26.08 | Colebrook, Bosson, Saunders caught my attention over ten years ago when I was trying to find a way to get an 85lb, 21 inch CRT off of my desk. While flat-screen monitors were not price-attractive in those days, at least CBS was thinking along the same lines as I was, and was offering more elegance than was typically of the upright computer carts found in hospitals.
