Welcome to TEAMCSI's Blog!
We look forward to sharing current and exciting news and information about trends in the industry, how to get the most out of your space, furniture, and other interior design related topics.
How To Maximize Space
The best way to maximize your space is to start with a professional that can identify the most important use of the space for your business. Then there is a process to determine what is required for CODE compliances – like passages to and from exits for safety. Next there is a determination as to whether your existing furniture will fit – or exactly what footprint of new furniture you need to purchase.
Careful examination of your space can help you make the best use and dollar value of the square footage you are renting. Add to your bottom line every month knowing you’ve planned the space well.
Choosing The Perfect Chair
Did you know that you office chair is the MOST important piece of equipment and usually the least expensive piece purchased?
You have rights within the American Disabilities Act (ADA) to have the chair that supports you physically at work. If necessary, you can ask your doctor to write a prescription. In some cases, you may be able to get your health insurance company to cover the cost.
The definition of a perfect chair is what FITS you individually and has the mechanisms to adjust to you! The industry manufactures seating to a BIFMA standard (Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturers Association.). There is a chair made for YOU! TEAMCSI will help you select the perfect chair.
BIFMA is the Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturers Association. It was founded in 1973 with a mission to lead, advocate, inform and develop standards for the North American office and institutional furniture industry.
Color Trends
This season there is a move toward the cooler and softer side of the color spectrum. An eclectic, ethereal mix of understated brights, pale pastels and nature-like neutrals take center stage as designers draw from daydreams of simpler times. Remembrances of retro delights, folkloric and floral art, and the magical worlds of tropical landscapes restore a sense of well-being as we head into warmer months.
Many feel compelled to be connected around the clock because we are afraid we’ll miss something important. There is a growing movement to step out and create ‘quiet zones’ to disconnect from technology and unwind, giving ourselves time to stop and be still. Color choices follow the same minimalistic, ‘en plein air’ theme, taking a cue from nature rather than being reinvented or mechanically manipulated. Soft, cool hues blend with subtle warm tones to create a soothing escape from the everyday hustle and bustle.” – Leatrice EisemanExecutive Director, Pantone Color Institute®
