- Henricksen Nashville Showroom
In July 2023, Henricksen saw significant change in its Tennessee locations, including a transition from the Synergy to the Henricksen brand. This rebrand was essential to articulating Henricksen's national capabilities and experience, as well as its new identitiy and committment to the Tennessee market. As part of the rebrand, Henricksen relocated itis Nashville experience center to the first floor of Panattoni’s prestigious 1030 Music Row facility. Just a block from Edgehill Village, this building stands proud as Nashville’s inaugural mass timber frame construction. The relocation gave the team a chance to exhibit diverse work styles that align with the ever-changing corporate landscape. It was critical to present a broad spectrum of work configurations to our clients and empower the Nashville team to work in ways that best suit their needs. The building’s mass timber frame, golden door pulls, and smoked glass lend a hospitality vibe to the overall design, aligning perfectly with local trends. When designing the space, these features heavily influenced furniture and accessories choices. As the first building of its kind in Nashville, Henricksen wanted to present clients with a hospitality-inspired workplace that is both stunning and functional. In a world where hybrid and remote work are the norm, Henricksen's state-of-the-art experience center in Nashville can help clients explore ways to attract people back to their offices.

- Northwestern University James L. Allen Center
The James L. Allen Center houses the Executive MBA Program and Executive Education programs for the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. The building includes two lobbies, classrooms, dining spaces, an auditorium, and 150 guest rooms that are used by lecturers and visiting executives. The facility had not been renovated in several years and the furniture was starting to show signs of wear. “We wanted a new and updated look,” said Dan McCrudden, Senior Director of Facilities, “to make it feel like a conference center or hotel that these executives were used to visiting.” The Allen Center partnered with Henricksen to select and install new furnishings for the guest rooms and lobbies. As part of the discovery process, Henricksen toured them through three hotels so they could evaluate the furniture options available to them. “We looked at the Essex hotel,” said McCrudden, “They had just remodeled it and we liked the look and feel of the bedrooms, so we wanted to model our space after that, but within our own budget.” The furniture they chose for these updates was Kimball Hospitality. It had a high-end, modern look that lightened up the space and yet still fit within their project budget. One of the things they liked at the Essex and wanted to incorporate into their own guest rooms were the platform beds. “It was much more modern than what we had,” said Steve Peavler, Associate Director of Facilities. “We replaced the big wood headboards,” said McCrudden “The rooms were very heavy, all wood and a more traditional, antiquated look.” Like many projects that occurred during COVID-19, long lead-times were expected. What came as a surprise, however, was an additional delay once the product arrived in country. “We understood lead times would be long because of the pandemic,” said McCrudden. “But we had a certain expectation that when it was finally shipped there would be no more delays. Then it turned out that our product was on the container ship that got stuck in the Chesapeake Bay.” This unique delay fostered innovative and quick thinking by the project team. “In order to keep business continuity, we had made the decision to store the existing furniture in a different building during the whole process,” said Peavler. Because of the additional delay, they brought the old furniture back to the Allen Center and re-installed it, which allowed them to stay open and operate while waiting for the new pieces to arrive. “Henricksen was limited in what they could do about the long lead times,” said McCrudden, “But the communication between Henricksen and Kellogg was great, so at least we always knew what the expected timeline was.” The guest room furniture was eventually installed in two phases of 75 rooms at a time. Henricksen worked closely with the Allen Center to ensure the space could still operate while the installation was taking place. the team also had to pivot around the lobby furniture selections. “We actually went with off the shelf pieces that were readily available, but still met the design requirements,” said Peavler. The completed project has breathed new life into the Allen Center. The overall feedback from guests and staff has been positive. People are surprised and enthusiastic about the lightness and comment that the bedrooms look nicely updated. “Henricksen is a great partner,” said McCrudden, “This was probably the most challenging project we’ve done together, but they are still our favorite furniture supplier.” Share Copy link LinkedIn Facebook Pinterest Project Stats Completed 2022 Location Evanston, IL Square Footage Partners & Manufacturers Manufacturers Used Northwestern University James L.

- Henricksen Celebrates its 18th Consecutive Year as a Supporter and Sponsor of DIFFA ChicagoHenricksen Celebrates its 18th Consecutive Year as a Supporter and Sponsor of DIFFA Chicago
Jun 7, 2023 Chicago, IL — Henricksen, in honor of PRIDE month, celebrates its 18th consecutive year as a supporter and sponsor of DIFFA Chicago, as well as a Gold Sponsor of this year’s MASQ Gala. A not-for-profit foundation, DIFFA Chicago (The Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS) raises HIV/AIDS awareness through annual design events, digital outreach, fundraising, and local partnerships. While other foundations raise funds for HIV/AIDS research, DIFFA Chicago is one of the few HIV/AIDS organizations that grants unrestricted funds to HIV/AIDS service agencies in our community, providing for flexible spending in direct care and education programs. This enables DIFFA Chicago to provide housing, utilities, transportation, employment, and care links. DIFFA’s supporters now come from every field associated with fine design, including the fashion industry, interior design, furnishings, and architecture. In addition, DIFFA has been an innovative agent in involving local and national corporations in the fight against the epidemic and has the support of the business community. Henricksen has made over a quarter million dollars in contributions to the Chicago chapter since the organization’s founding. DIFFA Chicago annually hosts three significant fundraisers – including Art For Life Chicago, Lip Sync For Life, and this year’s MASQ Gala, hosted the Saturday before Design Days + NeoCoN.

- Middleton Pope Farm Elementary
The elementary schools in the Middleton Cross Plains Area School District were becoming overcrowded and using temporary outbuildings as add-on classroom space was no longer working to address the issue. Fortunately, a large parcel of land that previously belonged to the Pope Farm Conservancy was donated and enabled the District to construct a new school to serve grades K-4. New furniture was needed for all spaces in the new school and, because they were starting from scratch, they could establish brand new standards that addressed flexibility, accessibility, and collaboration to create a true 21st century learning environment. “We, along with Eppstein Uhen Architects (EUA), interviewed a number of furniture vendors and we chose Henricksen,” said Bill Eberhardt, Building Projects Manager for Middleton Cross Plains Area School District. The team at Henricksen observed teachers in their existing classrooms, and noted what worked and what their challenges were. The spaces seemed cramped and the furniture was not flexible. There was also not much variety of seating for the students who needed alternative options. Henricksen deployed three different pilot classrooms at the existing elementary schools in the district. This allowed the teachers to test out new ways of teaching, as well as ask the students about what they liked and why they liked it before making selections for the new school. Student and teacher assessments of the classrooms was important to the planning process, as they would be the ones spending the most time in these new spaces. “The teachers were really open to trying new things and also got feedback from the students themselves,” said Julie Disch, Senior Interior Designer, Eppstein Uhen Architects (EUA). Multiple meetings were held throughout the design process and Henricksen would present different furniture and layout concepts based on their observations. Eberhardt shares, “They would get a concept down and then bring in the furniture so we could test it out. The Henricksen staff is very attentive. They were very patient with all the different choices and costing options.” The interior of the school was designed around pollinators – drawing inspiration from the conservancy land – and how important they are to human survival. Each grade wing was given a pollinator or plant used by the pollinators to define their area, referred to as a pod. As an example, 1st grade is the humming bird and 2nd grade is bee balm. Those two species really rely on each other. The school uses the conservancy site and the classroom pods to help connect the students to the real-world concepts of prairies. “We picked out ottomans that would create a flower,” said Disch. In the kindergarten wing hexagonal shaped ottomans mimic bumble bee hives. The finishes selected tie into the whole concept of pollinators as well. In the classrooms, there are different tiers of seating, from floor cushions to standing-height wobble stools, and everything is on casters so that even the kids can move the furniture. Disch explains, “The school is really unique because they don’t offer 1:1 classroom chairs for the students. They have about 15 traditional chairs and then use floor cushions and standing-height stools to supplement. They really pushed the envelope when it came to student choice and student preference.” Jessica Taylor, Principal, Middleton Pope Elementary School adds, “the children love the novelty of the shape of some of the tables, like the puzzle shape.” There are also quadrilateral tables, whiteboard tables, and low tables so students can sit on lily pads on the floor that are very popular for the kids and teachers. Outside of the classrooms there are collaboration spaces offering additional flexibility and student choice. “The children have the option to use these spaces beyond the classroom and it’s really fun for them,” said Taylor. “The furniture is comfortable, but durable, and feels homey to a lot of kids and adults.” Allsteel’s Rise tiered lounge pieces were specified for these collaborative areas. “You walk by, and kids are laying on different levels as they are reading,” said Taylor. “The system is really functional but also really comfortable and it gives kids an alternative space to do their work and engage differently.” In other spaces throughout the school the furniture is on casters to promote maximum flexibility. As an example, the bookcases in the library are on casters so that they can easily be adjusted or moved to accommodate new room layouts. The teachers and staff also have height-adjustable desks, and even standing-height tables in all the classrooms. The staff, just like the students, appreciate the versatility of the furniture. At the conclusion of the project there were happy students, teachers, and staff. Taylor shares, “the multi-function of the pieces is really nice. They really thought of everything.” Share Copy link LinkedIn Facebook Pinterest Project Stats Completed 2020 Location Verona, WI Square Footage 113,000 Partners & Manufacturers SFI | Systems Furniture Installation, EUA | Eppstein Uhen Architects, Allsteel, Formcore, Humanscale, National, SitOnIt, SitOnIt Seating, VS America, Wisconsin Bench Manufacturers Used Middleton Pope Farm Elementary Verona, WI Start Your Project First name* Last name* Email* Company Phone Location (City, State) Upload a File (if needed) Upload a File Message* Submit Project Experience

- Henricksen Acquires COFCO, a Full-Scale Furniture Solutions ProviderHenricksen Acquires COFCO, a Full-Scale Furniture Solutions Provider
Mar 28, 2023 With combined expertise, values, and contract rosters, Henricksen’s standing as a comprehensive industry leader is cemented and is poised to provide the best client experience in the nation Itasca, IL — March 28, 2022 — Henricksen, a full-service contract furniture dealership specializing in office, healthcare, education, government, senior living, and hospitality spaces, announces it has acquired COFCO’s expertise and legacy of excellence. With 75 years of experience providing contract furniture, refurbishing, and logistics expertise to prestigious clients in numerous industries throughout the mid-Atlantic and northeastern regions, COFCO joins the Henricksen community with aligned business values. Together, the companies solidify their commitment to building and maintaining long-lasting relationships with clients and manufacturers while investing in new technologies and capabilities, providing the best service experience in the country. As of April 1, 2022, COFCO will officially change its name to COFCO, A Henricksen Company. COFCO—which was founded in Philadelphia and recently expanded to Washington, D.C.—has a long and storied history of providing customers with exceptional service and outcomes, especially in the corporate, public sector, and healthcare spaces. Among the high-profile projects it has completed, COFCO recently completed outfitting the entirety of The Pavilion, a new 1.5-million-square-foot, 17-story facility at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, the second-largest hospital in the country. COFCO’s nimble and multidisciplinary staff combined with Henricksen’s prowess will allow the resulting team to provide additional resources and expertise for clients as they continue to navigate the challenges presented by the pandemic and the changing nature of workplaces. Joan Waters, who joined COFCO almost 35 years ago, will remain at the company as General Manager. “I’m so proud that COFCO is joining forces with Henricksen, a company that echoes our long-standing commitment to pursuing creative solutions; forming trusting relationships with customers and project stakeholders; and providing seamless, value-driven service for clients,” said Joan Waters, COFCO, A Henricksen Company General Manager. “While COFCO has independently thrived, partnering with Henricksen will set a new standard for furniture dealers, which is especially important at a time when the pandemic has transformed multiple facets of the industry.” Earlier this year, Henricksen acquired Tennessee-based furniture dealer Synergy Business Environments (now Synergy, A Henricksen Company). By combining the three companies, Henricksen has assembled an unparalleled team of industry experts with a broad scope of capabilities, all while making no compromises for quality. With Henricksen’s expanded east coast footprint in New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, and existing locations in Tennessee and the Midwest, the company’s presence and scale is unsurpassed. By having more feet on the ground in these locations, Henricksen will provide these clients and influencers with the same level of talent, resources, and commitment that the company has cultivated in the Midwest. The combined company is poised to deliver the best furniture dealership experience in the country. “As the industry adapts to the unprecedented challenges over the past few years, melding our expertise with COFCO and Synergy will raise the bar for providing long-term and meaningful relationships for clients and influencers,” said Russell Frees, president and CEO of Henricksen. “By joining forces, our partners will immediately benefit from the combined company’s 160-year experience, particularly through our increased presence around the nation.” Frees continued: “I’m proud Henricksen is uniting with Synergy and COFCO not only because of their stellar capabilities but also because of their dedication to employees. We know our people are the key to our success, and I look forward to cultivating our culture and collective strength as we strive to be the best partner in the industry.” “There’s no doubt that this partnership represents a huge win for stakeholders across the board,” said HNI Corporation Chairman, President, and CEO Jeffrey Lorenger. “At a time when customers are facing some uncertainty based on the pandemic, Henricksen’s expanded team will be able to provide clarity given the first-rate talent they have amassed.” Henricksen is proud to welcome the COFCO team. The company is committed to managing a seamless transition for employees, clients, and manufacturing partners.
