This 1.5 million square foot building would become the 2nd largest hospital in the United States. As a long standing partner and client, the Penn First team trusted COFCO, A Henricksen Company (COFCO) to assist with preliminary ideas and budgets for the furniture portion of the project. Eventually, the COFCO team was awarded the project. One of the most challenging aspects of this project was the timing -- which coincided with the global pandemic in 2020. This caused manufacturer shutdowns, supply chain shortages, and shipping delays. Fortunately, the team’s ability to preplan each stage of the ordering process allowed them to pivot and make changes based on what was happening in the industry. As a result, the team was able to avoid most furniture delays -- the team ultimately worked with 44 vendors to deliver over 100 tractor trailers of furniture with ZERO scheduling errors. This enabled the Penn team to open the new facility in grand fashion as scheduled. COFCO’s team is proud of their work with the Penn First project team and the positive impact the Pavilion will have on the future of healthcare!

Henricksen helped Philipp Lithographing Co, a family-operated business based in Grafton, WI, achieve a modern, professional, employee-friendly office as they embarked on an exciting expansion journey. Project Experience Philipp Lithographing Co. Grafton, WI Project Stats Completed 2023 Location Grafton, WI Square Footage 8,600 Partners & Manufacturers Allsteel, Gunlocke, National, SitOnIt Seating, Design 2 Construct Manufacturers Used Philipp Lithographing Co. (Philipp Litho), a family-owned printing and packaging company located in Grafton, WI, was expanding. The expansion and renovation included a 26,000 square-foot warehouse addition, a 3,600 square-foot office addition, and a renovation of their existing 5,000 square-foot office space. The overarching goal was to create a more modern and professional, employee-friendly office while maintaining a family-run, traditional feel. Their existing office furniture was mostly heavy-duty golden oak pieces from the 1960s and 1970s that no longer suited their way of working. The location also lacked enough conference rooms and meeting spaces to support their growing team and client-facing needs. They did want to retain certain traditional design elements, such as the warm wood tones, but also needed the space to feel modern and efficient. Their new workstations required customized designs to accommodate many printed documents and packaging materials. Philipp Litho selected Design to Construct (D2C) to lead the architectural design and construction of the new spaces. As part of this process, D2C brought in Henricksen to help them create an all-encompassing furniture package for Philipp Litho and worked as a team to help bring Philipp Litho’s vision for the furniture to life. “Philipp Litho’s design vision went hand in hand with the overall style of the building,” said Alaina Bernarde, Interior Designer, D2C. ““We took the time to go through each space to make sure the pieces and furniture layout meet the needs and functions of the end users. We chose wood tones and fabrics for the furniture that coordinated with the new interior finish materials that were specified.” National Waveworks workstations were selected, balancing durability and design. Wood skins were used on the outside of the workstations to match the company’s traditional aesthetic and height-adjustable desks were specified to meet modern ergonomic needs. The private offices were outfitted with Gunlocke chairs and high-end traditional pieces to create a sophisticated yet functional environment. Where possible, Henricksen and D2C’s designers worked with Philipp Litho to reuse existing furniture, such as incorporating some existing seating and reusing the base of a conference table, adding a new top for a refreshed look. The project also included custom touches like a demountable wall system with magnetic panels. These walls encased the conference room, and the magnetic panels allowed the clients to hang up their lithographing plans for their meetings. There also are other architectural walls throughout the space, adding both functionality and a modern aesthetic. The collaboration between D2C, Henricksen, and the client was smooth, with constant communication and quick resolution of any punch list items. Henricksen’s documentation of furniture standards and finishes ensured the project deliverables were clear and helped keep the project on track. “Cammy keeps the client’s best interests at heart,” said Bernarde of Henricksen Account Manger Cammy Harvey. “She is the first person I communicate with on each furniture job. Her attendance at each meeting, whether onsite or at Henricksen, ensures we were making progress. She gets questions answered and searches for the right solution based on her past experiences.” The end result is a new space for Philipp Litho that is both visually appealing and highly functional for current and future employees.

Henricksen delivered tailored furniture solutions for a defense company's new HQ, overcoming pandemic challenges to create a collaborative, efficient space that reflects innovation and excellence. Project Experience Confidential Defense Client Arlington, VA Project Stats Completed 2020 Location Arlington, VA Square Footage 160,000 Partners & Manufacturers HOK, HNI, Gunlocke Manufacturers Used When a confidential defense and engineering company decided to consolidate several regional facilities into a single headquarters, they envisioned a state-of-the-art workspace that would enhance collaboration, optimize efficiency, and reflect their strategic mission. The move aimed to transition approximately 350 employees into a flagship headquarters designed for operational excellence. The new headquarters was intended to centralize operations to increase workforce efficiency, provide an upgraded, Grade-A facility with cutting-edge furniture and interior design that would enhance collaboration and communication among employees, and serve as a flagship space representing the company’s values and future-forward vision. Henricksen was selected as the furniture provider. They delivered a comprehensive furniture package, including Gunlocke Private Office, Allsteel Workstations, and other HNI Products, ensuring that every aspect of the space — from workstations to private offices and collaborative lounges — was thoughtfully equipped to meet both functional and stylistic needs with their “soup-to-nuts” approach. Just as the project was ramping up in early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic hit, disrupting schedules, supply chains, and project logistics. The uncertainty created unique hurdles, from ensuring manufacturing continuity to meeting the strict timeline despite widespread shutdowns. One significant challenge was tied to the company’s choice of Gunlocke furniture, traditionally manufactured in New York. Faced with pandemic-related production delays, the Henricksen team collaborated with executive stakeholders at Gunlocke to shift manufacturing to a more accessible location, ensuring the furniture aligned with the project schedule and design intent. Despite unprecedented challenges, the new headquarters was delivered on time, achieving the client’s vision for a collaborative, innovative space. The custom furniture solutions supported the company’s operational goals and created an environment ready to adapt to the evolving needs of their workforce. By partnering with Henricksen, the defense company not only navigated pandemic disruptions but also set a new standard for their facilities — reinforcing their commitment to excellence and innovation.

Henricksen Unveils Innovative Community-Centric Experience Center in Washington, D.C. Project Experience Henricksen Experience Center, Washington, D.C. Washington, D.C. Project Stats Completed 2024 Location Washington, D.C. Square Footage 9,000 Partners & Manufacturers Allsteel, Corral, Gunlocke, HBF, HON, Kimball International, Normann Copenhagen, OFS, Zilenzio Manufacturers Used Henricksen, a leading national furniture dealership, recently rebranded its Washington, D.C. location, formerly known as COFCO, to align with its national identity. Alongside the rebrand, they also opened a multifunctional Experience Center, designed to be a community hub for networking, collaboration, education, and showcasing innovative workspaces. Their prior showroom space did not provide an ideal environment for clients or employees. It needed to evolve into a dynamic, inviting space that reflected modern work trends and engaged visitors more meaningfully. “A shift in client expectations and market demands has really heightened the need for a space that could serve not only as a display for furniture but also as a community-driven experience center for learning, networking, and collaboration,” said Joan Waters, General Manager, Henricksen Washington, D.C. The Henricksen team focused on creating a space that emphasizes function over form. While the updated Experience Center showcases various Henricksen product lines, the primary focus is on fostering a community-centered environment. The space is designed to showcase a variety of work environments, from traditional workstations to flexible, collaborative spaces, helping clients visualize modern office configurations that encourage productivity and collaboration. When we moved to the new Experience Center, we were branded as Henricksen, but we remained the same team. "Through the design of the space, we aimed to showcase how well we knew and understood the DC market," said Kelly Hogan, Vice President of Operations, Henricksen, Washington, DC. To further support a community-centered environment, the Experience Center was designed around iconic Washington, D.C. locations, representing different working styles. For example, the formal conference room is designated the “Library of Congress” and features rich wood, soft luggage leather, a bust of Washington, and gold frames of the United States presidents and the CEO of Henricksen. In contrast, the all-day café is designated “Union Market” and features industrial lighting and bench seating to reflect the atmosphere of Union Market itself. The new Experience Center is more than just a showroom—it’s positioned as a workhorse space for the community. The Henricksen team emphasized creating a space to host various events, from continuing education units (CEUs) and lunch-and-learn sessions to happy hours and nonprofit board meetings. This approach allows for deeper engagement with both internal teams and external clients, providing a platform for learning, ideating, and networking. “It’s a space for gathering, creating, and learning” said Waters, “helping people understand how to build environments that draw employees back to the workplace” The rebrand from COFCO to Henricksen also allows the Washington, D.C. team to benefit from Henricksen’s national footprint. By integrating into a larger brand, the team can better support clients with multi-location needs, offering a seamless experience across regions. This is particularly valuable for clients ranging from local nonprofits seeking cost-effective solutions to large corporations with offices located across the country. “The brand’s size and scale ensure we can handle projects of any scope,” said Joanna Verdi, Vice President of Sales in Washington, D.C. The new space has already generated excitement internally, with plans to host numerous industry tours, community service events, and educational opportunities. By creating a versatile and welcoming environment, Henricksen is showcasing its product offerings, cultivating relationships, and building a sense of community within the local market.

Brian also engages closely with the A&D community and General contractors to expand perspective knowledge of the market and understand their experiences, pain points, and solutions. “One of the things that genuinely sets Henricksen apart in the ASG space is our strong understanding of processes and coordination efforts required to execute a walls project successfully,” Brian explained. “Our unique strengths are our team’s knack for effective communication and dedication to improving processes and delivering the best results. Every team member is committed to mastering their knowledge, knowing what we should know and need to learn, and showing a commitment to our clients.” Originally from Detroit, Brian resides in Chicago with his husband, Aaron.

Henricksen was chosen after they presented alternative products that matched the original design vision while providing durability and budget alignment, ensuring the amenity spaces felt warm, textured, and inviting. Henricksen then collaborated closely with Rinka and ownership groups Cobalt Group and La Macchia Holdings to deliver a solution that balanced durability, beauty, and cost-efficiency. Furnishings included Kimball soft seating with iClean fabric technology for easy maintenance, chairs from Viccarbe for the lobby, Blu Dot occasional and coffee tables, custom community tables from Wisconsin’s KDR Wood Design and Co., outdoor furniture from Four Hands and Restoration Hardware, Allsteel planters, and G&A outdoor dining chairs. Henricksen’s thoughtful furniture solutions helped transform the Symphony's amenity spaces into residential extensions that feel comfortable, elegant, and community-driven. The grand lobby, property management office, amenity room, and outdoor deck now offer a cohesive blend of hospitality and residential styling, encouraging resident engagement and enhancing the overall living experience. As the centerpiece of Bayside’s OneNorth development, The Symphony successfully sets a welcoming, upscale tone for the future growth of the community and Henricksen played a key role in bringing that vision to life.

With guidance from Henricksen's K-12 experts, Madison Metropolitan School District renovated its K-12 schools to enhance 21st-century learning environments while preserving historical features. Project Experience Madison Metropolitan School District Madison, WI Project Stats Completed 2024 Location Madison, WI Square Footage Partners & Manufacturers EUA, Allermuir, Allsteel, Arcadia Contract, Diversified Woodcrafts, EKO Contract, Emeco, Grand Rapids Chair Co., HON, IOF, Kimball, National Office Furniture, OFS, Safco Products, SitOnIt Seating, Smith System, VS America, Wisconsin Bench Manufacturers Used Madison Metropolitan School District embarked on a multi-phased renovation project across all of their K-12 schools. The challenge was twofold: updating the spaces to create 21st century learning environments, while preserving the integrity and historical features of these existing school buildings. In addition to maintaining the historical character of the buildings, the district also wanted to create flexible, inclusive spaces that catered to different learning preferences and student needs. They focused on updating common areas such as cafeterias, libraries, and collaborative spaces to mimic a college campus environment, helping students transition more easily to higher education settings. “Our 9-12 educational furniture project spanned five sites and three years, said Alisa Brown, Architectural Assistant, Madison Metropolitan School District “The effort was deeply complex with multiple phases, multiple funding sources, and varied priorities for each site.” Henricksen was selected as the furniture provider for all of the high schools. They worked closely with the Madison Metropolitan School District to develop solutions that addressed the specific needs of each school, while maintaining consistency across the district. Each school had input into the design through community engagement sessions. Henricksen took these insights and provided a range of furniture options. They even set up a sample of classroom furnishings where both students and teachers tested various items before final selections were made. Based on the majority feedback, the Canto chair became a standard choice for classrooms. Flexibility was a core design principle for all the furniture. Classrooms, collaborative spaces, and common areas were fitted with furniture that could easily be moved and reconfigured to adapt to different teaching methods and student preferences. Henricksen sourced furniture from multiple vendors, ensuring a wide variety of seating and table options that could be interchanged between campuses as needed. The design process was iterative, with the user groups—teachers, students, designers, and administrators—participating in the selection of finishes and fabrics. In-person meetings allowed the group to interact with physical samples, helping refine choices. Adjustments were made along the way, especially to upholstery and other aesthetic details, to ensure the furniture reflected the school’s environment and the feedback from users. Recognizing the complexity of fully revamping every space at once, the project instead focused on areas undergoing the heaviest renovation first. “We had no illusion that we could replace every piece of furniture,” said Brown. “We targeted the areas that were getting the heaviest renovations.” Henricksen provided tailored solutions for different areas of the schools, including classrooms, administrative offices, media centers (Library Media Centers), cafeterias, music rooms, special education spaces, and physical education areas. Each classroom features tables with the same laminate, allowing pieces to be interchanged across campuses. While the focus was on modernizing the furniture, thoughtful reuse of certain pieces, such as art tables, was integrated to reduce waste and help stay within budget. “Henricksen walked us through every step along the way,” said Brown, “They delivered a solution that balanced standardization for these grade levels across our district while honoring the specific needs and desires of individual sites. We achieved a modern product mix that advanced our learning environments to fit current pedagogy, while remaining comfortable and relatable for teaching staff. The lookbooks for each school are the perfect guide map, as we move past larger renovations and furniture replacements into maintenance mode. I also really appreciated the involvement our Henricksen team members had directly with site-based staff, and the balance between getting their input and approval with our district-wide requirements and goals.” The installation process, though complex and phased across multiple schools, was a coordinated effort between Henricksen, the installation team, and school administrators. Regular communication ensured that punch list items were resolved promptly, and the entire process was less stressful than anticipated for the district. “Installation was very phased and complicated,” said Brown, “We appreciated Henricksen’s participation in that process.” Madison Metropolitan School District’s renovation resulted in spaces that blend historical integrity with modern functionality. Key spaces, including media centers, collaborative areas, and classrooms, now offer flexible environments that align with current pedagogy and prepare students for college. Students now have access to modern learning environments with flexible seating and tables that can adapt to their needs. The variety of furniture accommodates different learning styles, fostering collaboration and independent learning.

The Genovese Family Life Center renovation created a warm, welcoming environment aligning with their mission to deliver vital human services to the community. Project Experience SCO Genovese Family Life Center Jamaica, NY Project Stats Completed 2021 Location Jamaica, NY Square Footage 30,000 Partners & Manufacturers AMC Installations, SpaceSmith, Focused Project Management LLC, DB-Collaborative Construction, Allsteel, Andreu World, Arper, Beachley Furniture, Bernhardt, Blu Dot, Commercial File of NY, Davis, Doug Mockett, Great Openings, Halcon, HON, Humanscale, Magnuson, Prismatique, Stylex, Takara, Vitra Manufacturers Used The Genovese Family Life Center is a part of SCO Family of Services, one of the largest human services providers in the New York metro area. The agency’s mission is to deliver vital human services to children, families, adults, and the community to provide them with the necessary tools to achieve success. The existing four-floor, 30,000-square-foot facility in Queens was made up of underutilized spaces and outdated furnishings. “Our building was a big maze with lots of twists and turns and old furniture,” said Hayden Blades, Vice President, Facilities and Property Management, SCO Family of Services. For the initial project, SCO hired the architectural firm, Spacesmith, to turn an underutilized basement space into a Center for Professional Development. Determining the project to be a success, SCO then launched a complete building renovation to better meet the needs of staff and clients of The Center. One of the challenges SCO faced with this total renovation was that they had no existing furniture standards. They would buy from different brands and items of various sizes, styles, and quality. According to Blades, they wanted to change this and create standards to improve space utilization and increase overall occupancy. “Spacesmith began designing new space standards, and we knew furniture would play a key role in that effort,” said Ambar Margarida, Principal, Spacesmith. “For the offices and workstations, we needed a high quality, durable and well-designed furniture system.” The initial systems furniture layout needed to accommodate current occupancy levels, but The Center needed to plan for the organization’s expected growth (day two occupancy). Spacesmith invited Simone Espinet, Business Development Manager for Henricksen, to bid on the project. Espinet and her team responded to the furniture bid with components from multiple manufacturers to best suit what was designed by Spacesmith. They presented the mock-up with an installation partner to demonstrate how to retrofit the components in real time. The Henricksen designer also joined the meeting via zoom and performed layout work using CET Designer to showcase how the workstation configurations could be changed, and occupancy could be expanded when necessary. “One of the concepts we saw in the live presentation by Henricksen was the ease of reconfiguration. It was helpful to see how changes could manifest quickly without redesigning the architecture of the space. It was paramount in our decision to choose Henricksen” said Hayden Blades, Vice President, Facilities and Property Management, SCO Family of Services. When COVID social distancing protocols began, the project was in the design phase. The Henricksen team showed how the furniture solution had the innate flexibility to pivot and adapt to new layouts. “We had the flexibility to adjust for social distancing,” said Blades. “Down the road, when things relaxed, we could change the space and increase occupancy as we originally planned.” The flexibility of The Center’s furniture directly correlates to the overall success of its real estate portfolio. Blades continues, “We can expand within this location and add savings to our bottom line.” For example, SCO has closed a smaller office and brought that staff into the newly renovated building. “We were able to add staff without fully reconfiguring the workspace to the day-2 occupancy,” said Blades. “The public space at the center is used for foster care and families affected by domestic violence. It needed to be a safe zone; uplifting,” shares Espinet. To support this, furnishings of various heights, postures, and group sizes were selected for areas where children, youth, and adults could meet and build relationships. “For ancillary furniture, we looked for pieces with high backs and curvilinear designs that could be upholstered in non-woven durable fabrics and incorporate wood elements.” shared Margarida. All items were chosen for durability, comfort, aesthetics, and practical reasons, like flexibility and ease of reconfiguration by visitors. Margarida continues, “We wanted the furniture to feel residential and create a welcoming impression, yet it had to withstand constant use by many diverse age groups.” The new Genovese Family Life Center is a warm, welcoming environment that will accommodate the organization’s future growth. The renovated space will genuinely help the SCO Family of Services complete its mission of delivering vital human services to children, families, adults, and the community.

Cobbs Creek has been reimagined through partnership, design, and purpose. The new TGR Learning Lab empowers students to learn, create, and connect in flexible spaces built for exploration and growth. Project Experience Cobbs Creek Golf Course TGR Learning Lab Philadelphia, PA Project Stats Completed 2025 Location Philadelphia, PA Square Footage 30,000 Partners & Manufacturers Cobbs Creek Foundation, TGR Foundation, LPA Design Studio, Becker & Frondorf, Allsteel, Humanscale, SitOnIt Seating, Gunlocke Manufacturers Used Cobbs Creek Golf Course, a historic Philadelphia landmark, has long been a place of “firsts.” It opened in 1916 and became one of the first public courses accessible to women and people of color. It was the home course of the first African American PGA Tour player, golf legend, Charlie Sifford. Unfortunately, decades of neglect that started in the 1950’s, rerouted holes, flooding, and disrepair had left the course in need of a major revitalization by the early 2000’s. In 2010, the Cobbs Creek Foundation was officially formed with the goal of restoring the course and surrounding community assets. Central to that vision was a $30 million Learning Lab, created in partnership with the TGR Foundation, founded by Tiger Woods. The mission: to provide free educational opportunities and community resources, ensuring the revitalized course would benefit far more than golfers. To succeed, the Learning Lab needed spaces that could flex between traditional classroom learning, hands-on maker activities, recording and technology labs, and after-school hangout zones. The furniture would need to be collaborative, mobile, and durable, supporting everything from STEM projects to creative exploration. “Flexibility, sturdiness and reliability were key,” said Kris Pirnat, Project Manager, Becker & Frondorf. “Every space has different needs, all the chairs and tables needed to be mobile and flexible to adjust to each environment and durable to withstand heavy use.” COFCO, a Henricksen company, partnered with the TGR Foundation, Los Angeles–based design firm LPA, and multiple vendors to bring the vision of the Learning Lab to life. Leveraging its long relationship with Allsteel, COFCO was invited early in the process and helped guide selections through renderings and drawings rather than traditional mockups. Mobile Allsteel training tables, lightweight chairs, and height-adjustable stations were selected to allow students and teachers to easily reconfigure the spaces and create flexible learning environments. This included maker spaces that were equipped with large mobile tables, stools, and specialized seating for hands-on learning and things like music production. There is even a golf simulator room. Comfortable, fun lounge furniture was used to create a welcoming after-school environment where students can relax, collaborate, and hang out. “the lounge space is the first thing students see when they arrive upstairs as their first introduction to the,” said Caroline Robinson, Director of Operations, TGR Learning Lab. “We tell the kids that the lab is yours, and having a space with furniture that makes the kids believe that statement is important. You can tell that everything was selected with that welcoming and social, trend-making environment in mind.” Throughout the project, COFCO coordinated closely with architects, the design team, owner’s reps, and multiple manufacturers to ensure seamless execution of the project. Collaboration was key, with every stakeholder aligned around the shared goal of creating an inspiring space for Philadelphia’s youth. “COFCO was incredibly responsive,” said Pirnat, “Things often changed, and they were quick to respond, making the process seamless. I would work with them again and again.” “The initial delivery happened quickly, and we were working against a tight timeline,” said Robinson. “I was five days, a very narrow window to outfit a 30,000 sq ft building with furniture. COFCO was part of the reason we were able to launch on April 1st and have kids into the building on day one.” The Cobbs Creek TGR Learning Lab opened in April 2025 with a soft launch, immediately delivering on its mission of combining education, community, and recreation. The flexible, student-centered furniture design empowers learners to move, create, and engage with their environment in ways traditional classrooms can’t. “Working in a building where the core focus is education and we have 1st through 12th grade students visiting, having furniture that is functional and flexible is a high priority,” said Robinson. “We often have to switch furniture usage based on the needs of our programs, and we can easily do that.” From STEM labs to recording studios, the Lab offers opportunities that many local students might not otherwise have access to, and the furniture makes those opportunities approachable, engaging, and fun. Lounge areas invite students to stay after school, while maker spaces encourage experimentation and hands-on learning. Beyond the physical environment, the project stands as a model of community-driven revitalization. With three miles of carefully restored stream and wetlands, a new short course, and the potential to once again host PGA tournaments, Cobbs Creek is reclaiming its legacy while building a new one: investing in the next generation.
