IFB – Bringing life to work

We’re seeing with space is becoming more flexible, adaptable, like more mobile, it’s making the office more of a destination again, which is creating a community within the office yet, having the right furniture in the right space enhances collaboration for both people in the office and also those remote workers. Something that we stress at Interiors for Businesses that we talk about Bringing Life to Work, right, which is creating that environment, which is casual and comfortable, which is giving that support that work life balance, and we have two showrooms here, one were in the west loop, which is here today.

Spec Suites are in-demand and coworking feeds spec suites

Wendy – Excellent. So what are you seeing in terms of the most in demand services?

Jared – Yeah, so So right now we’re seeing a huge demand in spec suites. So with real estate firms and landlords where they’re using spec suites as a marketing tool to get people back in the office, it also gives the potential client to envision what a space can look like, for either potential rental or to buy as the furniture in their space.

Wendy – Right. So what we also think about is coworking actually feeds spec suites. And then we love the idea of spec suites and the ability to visualize the finished product apps. Thanks so much for being with us today.
