National Office Furniture – Jasper Headquarters
Gensler has designed the new headquarters for National Office Furniture located in Jasper, Indiana.
The 50,000 square foot facility houses over 140 corporate employees. The facility is on the Kimball International campus and was designed, renovated, and outfitted by the world renowned Gensler design firm and National’s internal design team.
The Headquarters mirrors the shift in today’s workplaces to create floorplans geared toward activity based space planning. Employees can choose to work in different areas based on the task they are working on. The entire facility is outfitted with National furniture and demonstrates product capabilities, functionality, and versatility. The progressive work environments, meeting spaces, workstations, conference rooms, and collaboration areas highlight National’s dedication to working efficiently and allowing employees to work how they are most productive.
National is known as “Furniture with Personality®” and the building embodies that. Whimsical artwork and quotes can be found throughout the space. Bold fabrics and stunning graphics, paired with unexpected product solutions, prove that National’s Headquarters is nothing short of a masterpiece. The space is also used as a working showroom to display product capabilities and promote idea generation with guests.
With areas dedicated to collaborate, learn, interact, and focus, the new Headquarters represents how customers are using National’s furniture in their own workspaces. National’s new Headquarters is a true testament to today’s working environments.
