Back from Merchandise Mart in Chicago, and while our feet are still hurting, our minds are overflowing with furniture options! If you think you’ve seen a furniture showroom, I challenge you to visit the Merchandise Mart and tell us otherwise. It’s 4.2 million gross square feet, spanning two city blocks with 25 stories (three of which offer commercial furniture), with hundreds of showrooms. Visiting fourteen of them took up a solid day and a half.
We visited Steelcase, Turnstone, Vitra, Coalesse, Global, Tuohy, Fixtures, Izzy Design, Harter, Nucraft, Creative Wood, Davis, National and DIRTT.
Also managed to stop off and visit new friends at Workspring, a very cool high-tech meeting and conference spot in the River North neighborhood of Chicago.
Now on to the hard part…decisions, decisions, decisions!
