Enhance Your Office Interior Design by Using Decorative Mirrors

Contemporary Mirror Enhances Office Interior Design

Most of us think of artwork when we think of wall decor for our office interiors and that is a very good option. There is another option that is not as “top of mind” when it comes to designing your office interiors and that is the use of decorative mirrors.

Mirrors are used extensively in hospitality design. You’ll see wonderful pieces throughout hotels and restaurants. They aren’t as widely used in office design but can be a wonderful alternative. Our designers at SPACE, Incorporated have a mirror source that provides all of the framing options we need for our diverse client base. Majestic Mirror and Frame provides just the right blend of frame quality and options that are perfect for any office interior design solution we want to create.

Bowling for “Bigs”

Colette — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 11:00:55 +0000

A few weeks ago four intrepid SPACE team members joined together to form a dynamic bowling team to raise funds for the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Flint. The 31st Annual Bowling Challenge at Galaxy Lanes in Grand Blanc was the venue. This year’s team was lead by Captain Diane and included Liz, John, and Stacy. They solicited sponsorships from other SPACE employees, so most of the SPACE team actually participated. This is the second year SPACE has “alleyed” a team.

According to Stacy, the fun part was bowling in the lane next to the Flint Generals, the local hockey team that’s a member of the International Hockey League. The Flint Generals’ mascot, General Rally, provided entertainment throughout the event. He was a big hit with the children, especially when he signed autographs for them.

This year’s event had over 600 teams and raised about $160,000 to support mentoring programs. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Flint provides mentors (Bigs) for 1000 kids each year. Currently, there are 300 “littles” waiting to be matched with a big brother or sister.

The SPACE team raised $385 and is planning on participating again next year. In fact, the plan for next year is to not only raise pledges and bowl, but to volunteer before and after the event. Congrats to our bowling foursome and the team members who supported them to make the Bowling Challenge a very successful fundraiser!

Lounge Seating in Office Interiors Needs Flexibility

Kathie — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 15:52:52 +0000

Flexibility, modularity, and consistency of design. All of these criteria are required when you are selecting lounge seating for your office reception area or lounge seating area. Too many times we see reception seating that doesn’t allow for any reconfiguration of the space and that isn’t good. Our design team at SPACE, Inc. is always looking for products that allow our client’s offices to grow and change as their businesses grow and change. With the growing emphasis on sustainability it just makes sense to select products that can be reused or re-purposed as the needs evolve. Here is a video of the National Swift modular seating products. They can be reconfigured in a variety of ways that adapt to the changing needs of reception and lounge areas and make sense for these types of areas.

SPACE’s Haiti Connection Raises Awareness

Colette — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 16:42:12 +0000

News of the devastation in Haiti wasn’t just headlines to one of our SPACE team members. Shelly was a member of Friends of Haiti Organization (FOHO), a non-profit that serves the people of Haiti by building churches, schools, wells, stores, orphanages, and more. She was secretary of that organization for 7 years.

FOHO has a list from which several projects are picked each year for work teams to take on. Shelly’s worked on building projects, in the hospitals and clinics, and at the orphanages. In the last 10 years, raising money to repair water wells in Haiti has been a major focus for Shelly. The wells break due to overuse, so Shelly’s husband created a nylon bushing to slip around the rods to prevent wear. One well will provide water to about 5,000 people. This pictures shows Haitian people using one of the wells.

Shelly traveled to Haiti several times during her tenure with FOHO. She first went in 1993 and her last trip was in 2004. Twice she took her son, Chas. She made several friends in Haiti and maintains contact with them to this day. She’s received updates throughout the weeks since the earthquake about friends and their family members lost in the quake. She learned that the FOHO building was completely demolished.

The Saginaw Chapter of AlTrusa has sponsored a Haitian child for several years, but no one from their organization has ever been to Haiti. After learning of Shelly’s commitment to Haiti, Altrusa contacted her to speak at one of their meetings. After her presentation and the Q & A session, the chapter gave a donation to FOHO and one member gave a personal check.

Shelly’s work in Haiti and her continued involvement with its people and their needs takes SPACE’s core value of community service to the international level. Now she’s sharing that value with other organizations who are, in turn, helping Haiti.

Timberlane By National Office Furniture

Timberlane 3/4 Back

Timberlane has long been a great-looking, cost-effective wood guest chair offered by National Office Furniture. Recently, the line has been enhanced and additions have been made to the Timberlane family that make it appropriate for specification in the healthcare market. A Bariatric chair, ganging seating and tables, as well as my favorite, the 3/4 fabric back have been added to the line. Have you ever noticed the “ick” that collects in the crevice where the seat of your chair meets its back?? More importantly, does your janitorial staff notice to clean it out? Probably not. The 3/4 back creates a gap between the seat and back and keeps your seat cleaner, longer. Contact SPACE Inc today for more information on this and other products!
