Workspaces are for People…
4nd3r50n1nt3r10r5
Workspaces are for people. They should be personal. When West Elm, a Williams-Sonoma, Inc. branch, wanted to furnish their offices in New York, they searched the contract furniture community for something that would speak to their corporate culture. They couldn’t find it. And West Elm Workspace was born. Showrooms are popping up all over the country, including ours in Pittsburgh, supplying business professionals with the same style options and functionality they desire for their homes. Jim Brett, West Elm’s President, says “As a lifestyle brand rooted in home, we’re uniquely attuned to what people want in their daily lives. That knowledge gives us a powerful lens on how to make work environments more personal and meaningful.”
Started in Brooklyn, NY in 2002, West Elm focuses on supplying its customer base with modern design, affordability and community. West Elm offers items to furnish and style your home from comfortable and affordable furniture to decorating accessories, and everything in between. And now, West Elm Workspace with Inscape is doing the same for office spaces.
Benching for open office plans has become very popular in the contract furniture industry in the last few years, but the private office cannot be ignored. Executives and managers are searching for options that not only fit their work needs, but give them the opportunity to express their personal styles through their work spaces. West Elm Workspace has choices that will speak to each person’s tastes, including Modern, Industrial, Mid-Century, Truss, Spindle, and Beam. Of course, extra surfaces and storage solutions can be added to desks to increase functionality.

Modular Carpet Tiles – The New Choice in Flooring
4nd3r50n1nt3r10r5
West Elm Workspace has partnered with Interface, Inc. to provide business clients with functional modular carpet options that add style, performance and flexibility to any office space. The line is exclusive to West Elm Workspace dealers and currently includes six styles with three to six office appropriate color options in each.
The advantages of using Interface’s modular carpet over other options are many.
-Performance – These tiles are designed to stay on the floor and will not up-curl, tap or ripple.
-Flexibility – You can cover the entire floor with them or just make an area rug by combining as many as you want for your size specification. They can also be mixed or matched by style or color and/or installed in different pattern layouts.
-Easy Replacement – Individual tiles can be replaced by in-office personnel easily and quickly. Who knew? Carpet replacement without moving all of that furniture!
-Easy Maintenance – Just vacuum! No mopping, buffing or polishing. Interface carpet tiles are stain resistant by holding spills on the surface where they can be easily cleaned.
-No Mess Installation – No glue needed! The flooring is installed by Interfaces’s own TacTile connectors that eliminate the need for glue and essentially create a floating floor.
-Indoor Air Quality – Interface’s modular carpet tiles meet CRI Green Label Plus criteria for Indoor Air Quality.
-Acoustics – These carpet tiles absorb five times more airborne noise than hard surfaces.
All of that and beautiful too. These carpet tiles are designed to pair with West Elm Workspace’s furniture line with regard to style, finish options and fabric offerings from Designtex. Please phone West Elm Workspace Pittsburgh’s Showroom and Design Lab at 412-213-5330 for an appointment to see the line. Styles include Heritage Craft, Pulse, Saddle Stitch, Terrain, Worsted Plain, and Lattice.

West Elm Workspace Pittsburgh Opens
4nd3r50n1nt3r10r5
Thursday, September 15th was a big night for the staff here at Anderson Interiors. We officially opened West Elm Workspace Pittsburgh on Penn Avenue, Downtown. The vision was two years in the making and included over a year of planning, months of searching for the best location, and even more months of renovations. Anderson Interiors is thrilled to be chosen by West Elm Workspace and Inscape to bring this innovative line to the Pittsburgh area.
The showroom features many of the most popular West Elm Workspace pieces and a great deal of accessories from Williams-Sonoma’s West Elm line. We were also encouraged to bring in local artisans to display pieces that embody the culture and flavor of Pittsburgh.
John Malecki, owner of JM Custom Builds, meticulously crafted the beautiful Walnut Slab Industrial Bar Table and the Reclaimed Industrial Barn Door. John worked with Anderson’s Team Leader, John Heller, and our In-House Designer, Emilie Criner, to create pieces that would coordinate well with the West Elm Workspace line. Notice the live wood edge on the bar similar to our conference room table and the base of the bar inspired by Pittsburgh’s many bridges.
For artwork, we chose Chuck Beard of Beard Foto, a local photographer revered for his Abandoned Pittsburgh photo series and books. Chuck printed his photos for us on metal and cedar wood. The way the light plays off the metal is nothing short of spectacular. The metal and wood prints highlight the industrial feel of some of the furniture line and fit nicely with the architectural features of the showroom space. Chuck is also the Art Director for Pittsburgh Magazine.
The opening of West Elm Workspace was featured online on both Trib Live and Pittsburgh Magazine. See the full articles here…
West Elm Workspace Pittsburgh is open daily from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm by appointment. Call 412-213-5330.
