Room & Board's Modern Furniture Transforms our Design Studio

Room & Board's Modern Furniture Transforms our Design Studio

Bringing our office and design studio to life has been nothing short of a dream with Room & Board’s partnership. The countless challenges of small business, supply chain management, manufacturing & all the roadblocks - it has been a breath of fresh air to have furniture of this caliber gracing our epic new design studio to support us in the journey: literally.

The Inspiration

This space will embrace the future of flexible working, it will support collaboration between teams at Mercury Mosaics as a model to promote working together in harmony. I wanted our manufacturing team to be able to blast music during the week & not have to worry about important client meetings, or loud noises for various forms of production to happen freely, not concerned about an in-progress conference call. Our two spaces within the Thorp building will each have a conference room and flexible drop in meeting spaces to create environments that naturally support creativity, thus being motivational spaces to support the pursuit of our Vision.

The Choosing Process

There were two ways to go about selecting furniture. I quickly learned from my first major office design that it wasn’t a great idea to ‘just pick’ for the team and that it would be key for them to be involved. As a business owner – you may have turnover, you may have the team choose something inaccessible, I skipped worrying about both these elements and enjoyed a collaborative selection process. Business Interiors was a breeze as we iterated on our vision and served as the perfect guide. They grounded us with supply-chain availability, product performance knowledge and overall education on our choices. Mercury Mosaics is rooted in customer service & research/design-support so teaming up with Room & Board was simply an extension of our community.

Colorful Office Chairs

For the office chairs, we selected the Diffrient World Office chair for its sleek and ergonomic design. It has the option to have adjustable arm rests, based on our use – the Business Interiors team suggested the upgrade to support a classic 8-hour workday. Once the chair style was decided upon, our team mixed up four colors throughout the office to express our brand best. They went with: Cadmium, Citron, Crimson & Cyan. Behind every great product is certainly a magnificent team of creatives and our office chairs are no different. Actually, they are Diffrient – designed by Neil Diffrient. Deemed as the simplest task chair ever made. When you sit in it: “It feels like sitting on a cloud.”

Sensational Support

These dynamic and simple works of art have superior lumbar support & join us in the battle of sitting being a culprit for body aches. The design of the mesh conforms to your body as if you had it tailored specifically for you, so you have the perfect amount of lumbar support and the perfect amount of upper back support – with no manual adjustments needed. This compliments the industrial desks we picked out, which have a cross bar at the bottom where you can use it to elevate your feet. Because the chair has no cross bar across the front of the seat, there’s no pressure point interfering with the circulation to your legs. Genius in the design from conception to manufacturing – this is right up our alley and highly respected.
