A new look for the office

Norfolk has taken its place among much larger markets with a West Elm Workspace.

Locally owned PC&A Business Environments has opened a showroom at 7420 Central Business Park Drive as part of a partnership with West Elm, based out of Brooklyn, N.Y.  The space offers four collections of office furniture and more than 75 product lines, 140 textile options, lighting and flooring.

The collections have a residential vibe and include modern, mid-century, industrial and contemporary pieces designed to appeal to millennial workers. 

Norfolk joins larger cities such as Seattle, Tampa, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Miami with West Elm Workspace in its office furniture market.

“This is a highly creative and thriving small business market, and it seeks innovative products for a new kind of workspace,” Susan Pilato, PC&A president, said in a statement.

PC&A’s client list includes TowneBank, Fahrenheit, Good Run Research, Sentara, and Commonwealth Assisted Living.

West Elm partnered with Inscape (an office solutions company) and local design firms to launch West Elm Workspace in strategic markets. Its mission is to create unique, affordable designs for the modern office.
