As a world-class design-driven company, Kimball applies its rich heritage as makers to create environments for tomorrow’s workplace, crafting a truly authentic brand experience that fosters community and collaboration. Featuring curated concepts in workplace design with a focus on relaxation, comfort and wellness, the company’s Chicago showroom, located just outside the Merchandise Mart at 325 North Wells Street, featured key product solutions and during Neocon, North America’s largest design exposition for commercial interiors.

The Kimball Chicago Showroom illuminated with sophistication in design, eluding comfort and warmth as viewed through the lens of experience and knowledge of design and culture. Our emphasis on uniquely curated products created an inviting, comfortable space that is personal, relaxing and authentic. A more tranquil, welcoming environment is paramount to the physical and mental wellness of employees in the workplace. By creating a sense of sophisticozy tm, our showroom embodied a feeling of happiness and comfort, sparking creativity and intellect.

“With our continued desire to be human-centered, purpose-driven, and modern, we create flexible and relevant environments that provide users a space they enjoy while having choices in furniture and technology applications to better support the changing nature of workplace activities,” states Wendy Murray, Director of Product and Brand at Kimball. “Health and wellness are essential to engagement and productivity. That’s why we have a continued commitment to not only be a company that focuses on innovation, knowledge, and adaptability, but also one that is committed to well-being, offering products and solutions that provide comfort and encourage movement.”

Our 2019 showroom featured designs that inspire, spaces that provide comfort and well-being, and a focus on people with the goal of creating warmth and happiness in the workplace. In addition, we celebrated our design partnerships with Claudio Bellini, Pam Light and John Duffy and Brian Graham in co-creating and bringing to life their designs that focus on bringing comfort, organization and design centric solutions into the workplace.
