Schumacher takes a different approach to her favorite piece, the Eames Lounge Chair.
“It’s a walnut finish with a hunter-green mohair,” said Schumacher. “[InterOffice Owner] Aubree Leiser always says it’s our sexiest chair.”
And if a customer doesn’t find the perfect piece, in-store, the InterOffice crew can work with them to create it. Whether it’s swapping out the style of arm or choosing from more than 1,500 available fabrics, the InterOffice approach puts an emphasis on customization. “It’s not a typical furniture store where you just point and say ‘I want that one,’” said Workspace Expert Kyle Hellman. “They’re custom-ordered with the details of your choice.”
For Clients and Employees Alike
Clients aren’t the only ones who can customize their experience. With new movable Herman Miller OE1 walls, InterOffice employees can create the workspaces they need when they need it–without breaking out a hard hat and a wrecking ball.
With so many customization options, the new showroom feels like a combination of residential furniture and commercial furniture. Now known as a “Resimercial” style, the residential/commercial combo has gained popularity as a way to entice employees back to the office after working from home during the pandemic.
“If the office looks more like home, it helps workers get back to the office,” Hellman said.
As the Fargo InterOffice team learned as they underwent their own transformation, taking yourself on as a client can present its challenges. After all, InterOffice employees are all design experts; it can be challenging to hear and honor all opinions. But with teamwork and mutual respect, the InterOffice team made it work.
“I think it’s neat that we respected each other’s opinions,” Hellman said. “Everything just comes together.”
