A fifth of your payroll
– lost in meeting rooms.
Your best-paid people spend most of their week in meetings
– and half of that is felt as wasted.
Meeting rooms are broken. Designed for sitting still. For watching slides. For nodding at the right moment.
We build for the opposite. For meetings that matter. For ideas that need space. For projects getting done.
We build rooms that make you lean in, not back.
Because the room is never neutral. It sets the default. It shapes behavior. It sets the tone before anyone says a word.
All we do
Meeting Rooms — and nothing else.
We are not a furniture manufacturer looking for places to put furniture. We are specialists in one room, and one room only: the meeting room — multifunctional, flexible and as composed as capable.
Most of the industry sells everything, to everybody, for every room in the building. We chose depth over range.
That is why we develop our own products — and in 2016 invented the agile whiteboard, a category that changed the industry and how teams collaborate. Since then: modular systems, patented solutions, spatial tools made for collaboration.
More patents per employee than anyone in our industry. Top three in absolute filings.
That same focus is why some of the world's most demanding teams build their meeting rooms with us, why Frame called our first collection “the visual midpoint of today’s modern office,” and why design award juries followed.
Two paths to better meetings.
