In this issue…top headlines cover major industry moves and leadership changes—Atmosphere Commercial Interiors’ acquisition of Minneapolis dealer Acre; MillerKnoll’s CEO transition with Jeff Stutz as interim leader (and related coverage around the change); Herman Miller naming Kim Colin and Sam Hecht as global creative directors; Virco’s Q1 loss as school-furniture demand cools; Storr Office Environments appointing Trevor Croghan as CEO; WRK LAB’s exclusive Allsteel partnership; and Geiger’s refreshed brand identity. Main news also tracks office-market and workplace-service shifts, including CBRE’s expanded “Experience by Industrious” hospitality platform, a seemingly stable office market that’s increasingly split between thriving and distressed buildings, a measurable rebound in office demand helped by conversions/demolitions shrinking supply, plus Landscape Forms’ eighth straight Great Place To Work certification and another look at Geiger’s rebrand. Design coverage spotlights why ergonomics is becoming a strategic, performance-driving pillar of lab design. Products highlights include Turf’s expanded, well-being-focused acoustic color palette; Momentum’s hip-hop-inspired textile/wallcovering collection with Michael Ford; and Allsteel’s Levra performance seating debuting with advanced support and sustainability claims. Trends and workplace news examine the “amenity” of human connection, broader macro shifts shaping work and well-being, and how remote work is affecting new-grad hiring, office visitation, sedentary behavior, Gen Z social-media pressure, and isolation/psychological distress.
