GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan, September 2026 — Kentwood Office Furniture, a Michigan-based workplace solutions company serving organizations throughout the Midwest and nationwide, today announced its official rebrand to Kore Commercial Environments.

The new name reflects the company’s continued evolution and the breadth of services it provides to help organizations create thoughtful, functional, and people-focused work environments.

Founded in 1976, Kore Commercial Environments brings more than 50 years of experience partnering with businesses, organizations and design professionals to create workplaces that support productivity, collaboration, flexibility and growth.

While the company’s name and visual identity are changing, the ownership, team and commitment to clients remain the same.

“We’ve evolved well beyond a traditional furniture provider,” said Tim Shields, President & CEO. “Today, we bring together insight, design, product, and manufacturing to create environments that make a lasting impact. Kore better represents who we are today and where we’re headed, a company that does far more than sell furniture. We create environments that help people and organizations thrive.”

Kore provides comprehensive commercial environment solutions, including:

  • Workplace strategy, design & space planning
  • Furniture specification & procurement
  • Project management
  • Delivery, installation & reconfiguration
  • Corporate relocation
  • Workplace refreshes

Headquarters in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Kore Commercial Environments proudly serves clients through its regional offices and has established relationships across Michigan and the Midwest.

The rebrand also introduces a refreshed visual identity and brand centered around four core values: Integrity, Curiosity, Innovation, and Ownership. These values continue to guide how Kore works with clients, partners and one another.

“Kore is a reflection of how our company has evolved and where we’re going next,” said Kaylyn Todd, VP of Growth and Marketing. “Our work is about understanding how people and organizations use their spaces and creating environments that work for them. Kore better represents who we are today and the future we’re building.”

“This is an exciting new chapter for our company,” said Andrea Stone, Operations Systems Specialist. “Kore reflects the energy of our team, and the opportunity ahead as we continue to evolve how we serve our clients.”

The company’s transition to Kore Commercial Environments officially takes effect September 14, 2026.
