Furniture
Furniture choices are the most tactile aspect of our event experiences. They can influence dwell time and support specific engagement modes. Furniture should largely support functional requirements and align with our overall visual language. While rental options vary across regions, selections should be contemporary with a mid-century modern aesthetic. Emphasize clean lines and neutral shades. There are three furniture types: primary, accent, and custom.
