At OFGO STUDIO, we remain focused on our “Premium for All” mission. This mission is the idea that premium quality products, built using premium construction methods, should be universally attainable because everyone deserves the best. Our mission continues to fuse these premium construction methodologies with innovation. We continue to explore new and innovative ways to craft our products, enhance design aesthetics, and improve technologies to make it even easier to work with us.
We kicked off the year by successfully launching our newest lounge collection, CROSBY. Its organic design was inspired by the classic tub-style club chair but with a contemporary twist. Designed by our talented team of in-house product development engineers, we modernized a classic and elevated it by incorporating our premium construction methods. CROSBY withstands the rigors of high-traffic public, corporate, hospitality, and education environments, using our unique JIGSAW construction. With its interlocked plywood frame, reinforcement happens at every joint. CROSBY is now available for order in one, two and three-seat configurations.
In today’s fast-paced world, the demand for versatile, high-quality furniture solutions has never been greater. We have much more planned for 2025 with new and innovative collections. Our goal is to enhance the specification journey by having a wide range of options that are versatile, functional, and inspiring. Our next upcoming launch is WORKWAY™ LOCKERS, a storage solution designed for today’s hybrid and flexible workspaces. We are particularly excited about this product line as it will provide functional storage that is specifically designed for today’s evolving workspaces. One that’s secure, and user-friendly. It will offer convenient and versatile storage for outerwear, accessories, and optional boot storage. Digital locks will enhance the user experience with flexibility for high-traffic hybrid environments. Look for WORKWAY LOCKERS launching soon!
Whether through manufacturing or process automation, we have always put a high degree of focus on technology as we innovate and grow. This extends to meeting our customers on the platforms they use, including CET Designer. While our product library is currently accessible on CET via the Commercial Interiors Library and Catalog Creator, we recognized the need to make it even easier to work with us within this platform. We are excited to soon be adding our own dedicated extension within CET Designer. This new dedicated extension, with smart symbols, will make it even easier to specify OFGO STUDIO on your projects and provide high-quality visuals and deliverables to customers. We’ve been working extremely hard behind the scenes to get this extension ready and can’t wait for you to see it. Look for it coming soon in the CET Marketplace.
As we continue to grow, we are dedicated to promoting environmental responsibility and ensuring that our manufacturing processes reflect this commitment. One way we accomplish this is by offering sustainable options to customers, including ECO+ laminates. Over 65% of our laminate finishes incorporate ECO+ as a standard. 100% of the wood fibers in ECO+ laminates are from recycled sources, helping to contribute to the recycling of over 244,000 tons of post-consumer wood fibers annually.
Additionally, we recently announced that our entire base-grade textile selection is now PFAS-free, also known as “forever chemicals”. We are pleased to continue to expand our environmentally friendly and sustainable options to our customers. By moving closer to a sustainable future, we prioritize environmental responsibility and safety for all.
This is just the beginning. We have many more additions to look forward to this year. We are committed to crafting design-relevant products that are built using premium construction methods and finishes, all while maintaining accessibility for our customers. At the same time, we strive to make it even easier to work with us, all while focusing on a positive customer experience. Our “Premium for All” mission remains forefront as we continue to innovate and expand to meet the evolving needs of modern working, learning, and gathering spaces. We are excited about what’s ahead, and we look forward to the journey together.
