TA N G R A M I N T E R I O R S
Letter From Jack Five years ago, the commercial interiors industry could get away with only selling furniture to their clients and allowing technology providers to fill in the gaps. Today, the trends we’ve seen in technology integration simply do not allow for this type of segmentation. How does Tangram achieve successful technology integration in the workplace? As a leading audiovisual integrator, we work with the client and architect to co-design unique, smart, connected and inspiring environments. We believe that technology should be a part of the furniture, enhancing the space it occupies and never subtracting from the aesthetic.
People are at the center of it all. Technology is only as valuable as the user makes it to be, which is why our job is to understand your company and the people that make it what it is. With the capability to track employee behavior in regard to their space, we can install the best products in the right places for your company. In today’s fast economy, emerging trends and evolving technologies are consistently pushing the workforce towards further growth, inspiration and ideation. We would love to help you achieve an innovative work environment that inspires your people to excel in their work and expand their minds to think in a tomorrow-focused way.

We believe that people are at the center of everything we do. In today’s marketplace, productive employees need an ecosystem of interrelated places and devices to support the different stages and activities of everyday work. We want you to truly love the way you work.
Until now, space and technology in the workplace have often been planned separately by different teams with different objectives. We believe that a well-designed workplace includes mobile and integrated technology, as well as spaces designed for individual “me” work and “we” group work.
Place shapes behavior, and behavior shapes culture. Intentionally designed physical space has the power to drive the attitudes, behaviors and levels of performance that people and organizations need to thrive.

Ancillary Furniture Selection
56
A company’s individuality is best embodied in its ancillary furniture. As the desire for loose personality-driven pieces is dramatically increasing, Tangram has responded with two fulltime Ancillary Specialists. These personal shoppers have years of experience in the industry, cultivating relationships with 700+ manufactures and keeping up with furniture trends in order to meet your needs in three crucial ways: aesthetic, budget and lead-time.
/03
Studio The concept for a custom workspace begins with listening to each client’s needs, aesthetics, brand and culture. Then collaborative brainstorming informs development of a unique, affordable, well designed and appropriate solution. Computer-generated renderings, material samples and handheld mockups bring the ideas to life along with timeline and cost. Final engineering drawings and manufacturing software drive production. And a comprehensive installation plan covers project management, site inspections, truck loading, delivery, labor scheduling and assembly drawings.

Flooring

Tangram Flooring’s expertise in the specification, installation and ongoing care of flooring and fabrication solutions is available to meet your interior’s functional and acoustical needs without compromising on style and aesthetic. Choose from a wide variety of carpet, hard surface, sheet, tile, wood and rubber to pull a space together with a coordinated portfolio of multiple surfaces. Materials are specifically selected for long life-cycles, low maintenance, ease of cleaning and resistance to staining, fading and bleach in order to achieve lower cost and a lighter impact on environment.

A/V Technology Technology is an impactful driver of change, critical to igniting innovation and competing in a global economy.

Architectural Wall Solutions Tangram’s Architectural Solutions provides expertise in creating innovative solutions that allow for changing work conditions. Whether it’s a need for expanding meeting rooms or office space, or consolidating or redefining existing space, we can design and install easy-to-modify architectural solutions to meet these needs. As an additional benefit, modular architectural solutions can be treated financially as a furniture asset. 60
/07
Onsite Whether it’s wood, laminate or metal, the refinishing experts can make old furniture look brand-new or even give it a completely different feel. In addition, a very talented team can bring a rundown piece of furniture into the 21st century, from stripping and re-stuffing to refurbishing and re-upholstery. Additional resources include cleaning services for furniture, wall coverings, flooring and seating to help eliminate years of wear-and-tear and restore an environment to its original integrity. 61
/08
Asset Management + Storage Recent statistics show that if a company owns a million dollars worth of furniture, at least 30% of it is in storage at any one time. Furniture is a major investment. You need to know what you have, where it is, and its condition, so you maximize re-use of your assets. Whether stored at your site, or in our state-of-theart warehouse, our Inventory Management System will tell you everything you need to know to maximize your stored assets. 62
/09
Move Moving from one location to another can be very stressful with the interruption of work that packing and moving entails. However, with a Tangram project manager onsite to oversee the planning and implementation of your move, you can rest assured that your move will be easier than ever before. Whether it’s a move to another portion of your facility or a large-scale relocation, Tangram provides experienced and comprehensive Move Management Services. 63
