The Haworth Washington, D.C. showroom, located on the second floor of the historic Hecht Company department store, combines product showcase, sales office and conference facility functions. Our team developed the showroom's design aesthetic, finishes and product/furniture layout to reflect both the Haworth brand position and the design sensibilities of the local legal, science/tech and government client community.

The result is an understated and sophisticated palette aimed at the specific target markets. Bright colors accent the environmental graphics and digital media to bring focus to each product vignette area, and divider elements within the space include red, punched-aluminum graphic patterns abstractly based on topics of "sustainability", "manufacturing" and "global leverage." Aligned with the firm's commitment to sustainability, the Washington, D.C. showroom demonstrates the integration of restorative space, resource preservation, waste elimination and cost reduction.
