Framingham, Massachusetts, USA
Product designer Logan Steinfeld of Staples Design creates Union & Scale Workplace Furnishings, a series of office furniture pieces that provide holistic solutions which in turn respond to the growth stage of a business, employee headcount, breadth of disciplines, and work-life balance philosophy.
This project was awarded a prestigious 2021 Good Design Award by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
Union & Scale products respond to the entirety of the customer journey from preferences around comfort, aesthetics, and functionality to more pragmatic concerns about the ideal size of pieces for a space and the assembly requirements.
These diverse design choices set an overall expectation of quality and value rewarding curiosity with discoveries.
For a category that includes super-premium offers that are out of reach for many growing businesses, Union & Scale puts desirable features and styling in reach.
By focusing on design details that deliver performance and value above expectations, they deliver a contemporary furnishings experience with premier ergonomic features and versatile configuration choices on par with far more expensive contract furnishing leaders.
All collections include furnishings that feature signature design elements, a unifying form strategy, a prescribed form language, a suite of comfort elements, and a palette of color, material and finish choices.
They also include décor options for accessories matched to the Collection aesthetic.
In development well prior to the pandemic, the Union & Scale portfolio elegantly responded to the work-from-home realities and the new office dynamics of the post-pandemic period.
