OED Marketing

We are #hiring in Atlanta! Know anyone who might be interested?

Safco Products was definitely re-imagined, re-energized and re-defined at Neocon this year. There was a palpable buzz in their showroom. Safco’s Techworks and Swift furniture is now on CET making it easy to include for your clients. When you need to complement and complete a space Safco is ready for you. And be ready for more re-imagining from Safco in the future. Ask your OED representative about how Safco can be a re-source for you.

You can always count on Magnuson Group to be ready for Neocon. When OED arrives for training all the marketing materials and new introductions are waiting for us. We all love Boden – a simple formed concrete with gentle curves and current finishes. Boden planters and benches will stand the test of time in any facility, inside or outside. Are your clients bringing foliage inside for visual privacy and a sense of calm? Kaskad Run, Pic and Valuta all are new options to enhance your space. OED applauds whoever came up with the name for our newest waste/recycling series - Dunk. Simple and affordable, Dunk invites you to slam your waste/recycling home. Ask your local OED representative about these new Magnuson Group options for your clients’ spaces.

Wow, did you catch the VIBE at Indiana Furniture’s space during Neocon? You are not alone if you walked into their experience center and wondered if you were in the right space. Indiana Furniture’s nod to the past – love those tin ceiling panels along the entry wall that came from the original Mill Street building – while reaching for the future was impressive. With their newest offerings of Serenity guest seating and Dab guest/stack seating, Indiana Furniture can outfit more spaces than you thought. Ask your local OED representative to help you create your clients’ vibe with Indiana Furniture.

Did you see func at Neocon? Snagging an honorable mention in the Best of Neocon Business Impact category for their Cooee Collection, func made quite the splash. With the addition of new paint and PET finishes along with their unique solutions for visual and acoustic privacy (pronounced Pry-vacy by our Australian func friends) func is here. Fully available on CET you can easily include our solutions across a variety of spaces. Ask your local OED representative to see a demo of how func can transform your space.

Design Days with Fellowes Brands was a focused display of new enhancements and categories. Our Volo Modular Wall offering introduced new partnerships with industry stalwarts such as Skyline Design, 3Form, Wilsonart, Momentum and Guilford of Maine. The new Volo Monolithic can achieve costs rarely seen in the modular wall space. Also, Fellowes jumped into the markerboard space debuting some intriguing glass and porcelain options in creative colors. The Q! mobile definitely makes a statement when you roll it around your workspace. 48 hour quickship means you get the same level of service you are used to with Fellowes/ESI ergo tools. Ask your local OED representative to update you on all the Fellowes has to offer.

Free your mind from the thought that writing surfaces have to be rectangular and white. Calyx by Claridge totally debunked that with their Neocon showroom last month. Be free and use color, graphics, branding and motion that invite your clients’ creative thoughts to be written down. Calyx manufacturers everything in their own facilities and can handle whatever you require of them. Ask your local OED representative to see Calyx’s innovative ways to share ideas.

You know what it is like to be among family? Familiarity, comfort, and expectation are some of the feelings you get. Allseating’s Neocon 2024 theme – That Family Feeling – offered a renewed showroom with artist Carson Ting art/graphics that depicted stylish humans at work in familiar Allseating chairs. Showcasing enhancements to current styles such as Ayles, Eighty-Two, L1, Innate and Res along with new offerings of Allora, soon to be available Dart and later this year Equation, the Allseating showroom was like visiting with our known family members while welcoming some new editions. Be sure to ask your OED representative about the enhancements and new launches from Allseating.

Neocon was a blast this year. The crowd was strong and steady. Our OED factory partners showed out with some wonderful new solutions as well as thought starters. So how do we share all the good stuff with you without being overwhelming? We will start in alphabetically order for the next few weeks and highlight one of our partners at a time. Can you guess one of our factory partners who won a HiP award AND MetropolisLikes award for Workplace Partitions & Wall Systems/Systems & Solutions (Crate Divide) AS WELL AS a Best of Neocon Silver for Education Solutions (Contour)? Allermuir / The Senator Group was on their game introducing solutions that are ready to order and work for you. Check out these images for inspiration. Even more inspiring is Allermuir/Senator conceptual Platform X, Sofa 01, which won Best of Neocon for Sustainability in the Seating: Sofas and Lounge category.
