Providing furniture arrangements in the office can help to
foster unique elements of collaboration. There is a big move-
ment for a variety of seating in corporate environments to allow
for different meeting types. This new Kanso Bench + Table by
HBF is an elegant solution to support work where work needs
to get done. Offered in many finishes with options to add inte-
grated tables, it can be customized to fit many project types.

For projects with desired stone counters but maybe
don’t have room in the budget or simply require a more
durable surface, a quartz product can be a great alternative
solution. One benefit of quartz as a nonporous surface is its
durability with cleaning and maintenance. Caesarstone, a
quartz manufacturer, has a variety of different stone looks
and solid colors to fit many styles. One recent introduction
establishes a raw and unique concrete look with imperfec-
tions and textural gradients in its rugged concrete surface.

Ann Sacks has a variety of tile for many different uses,
all ranging in different price points. Tile is typically used
as flooring or a backsplash to a counter, but it can also
be a great accent to a featured area in a commercial
space like a feature in the reception area. These surface
patterns in the Maven Collection by Kelly Wearstler are a
memorable statement to add to any room and are offered
in a wide variety of patterns and colors.

Carpet has many important uses in commercial projects
and usually helps drive the concept for the overall look and
feel of a space. It can be used to encourage way finding, de-
fine space and help with acoustics. Bentley offers warm and
cool neutral textures as well as bold expressions that create
excitement and sometimes a bit of curiosity within a space.
Add the cushion backing and you are all set..

Designtex is commonly thought of as a textile and
wall-covering manufacturer but it also supplies a self-ad-
hesive film (3M DI-NOC) that has the ability to conform
to flat or curved surfaces. This architectural finish can
be used on walls, doors, panels, ceilings and many more
resulting in a quick refresh to a space. With over 800
patterns that include stones, woods, metals and abstract
designs, the options are almost limitless.
