In honor of the contest we're currently running to design a fabric for the CH468 Oculus chair, our blog this month focuses on our partnership with noted Danish furniture company Carl Hansen & Son. This post by Tim Elms, Coalesse Director of Product Marketing, shares his experience of the grand opening of the Carl Hansen & Son showroom in California. If you’re a fan of Danish design, learn more about Coalesse’s Carl Hansen & Son Blank Canvas Contest for a chance to visit Denmark.

Carl Hansen & Son (CH&S) is known for its portfolio of Hans Wegner masterpieces, and this year Coalesse is lucky enough to have added two more of these designs to its offering: the CH468 Oculus Chair and the CH88 Chair. In this post, our director of Global Design, John Hamilton, reflects on the design and craft that goes into producing Carl Hansen & Son furniture.

In this post, Michelle Riley, who works at the Coalesse showroom in the Merchandise Mart in Chicago, Illinois, talks about the pride that comes with working in a beautiful space, and the excitement of knowing we are in the midst of the most transformative, dynamic, and exciting period of workplace design, ever.

Coalesse furniture set the stage for some big-name speakers at the recent Unique Lives & Experiences lecture series in Toronto. Following our theme of solutions that encourage social connection, our furniture helped facilitate the conversations led by Arianna Huffington and Piper Kerman, among others.

Patricia Urquiola, Toan Nguyen, Scott Wilson, Jean-Marie Massaud. These names alone are the ingredients of a recipe for success. The idea of referencing prominent designers is not a new one, and critical types might see it as lacking in inspiration, even playing it safe.” And then you walk into the Coalesse showroom and are filled with pure ecstasy. This is what happened to me in February in Chicago.

Coalesse is expanding its reach as it talks to the architecture and design community about craft, comfort, and customization. Recently, Coalesse solutions were part of #DesignPopUp  in Glasgow, Scotland.

Every year around the beginning of June, I get this funny feeling in my stomach. It’s a good and an anxious feeling. A good feeling because I know NeoCon is only a couple weeks away…an anxious feeling because I know NeoCon is only a couple weeks away! There is a part of me that dreads the long days and nights of NeoCon, but then I get excited about the energy around the event and the opportunity to show off our brand. I felt the same this year, but what WAS different was Coalesse.
