Coalesse is a United States–based furniture company founded in 2008.[1] It is a division of Steelcase and creates products with the goal of encouraging collaboration.[2] Coalesse is headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with their design headquarters in San Francisco and their main showroom located in the Merchandise Mart in Chicago.[1][3][4]
Company overview
[edit]Coalesse launched in June 2008 at the NeoCon World's Trade Fair in Chicago.[1] It is a combination of Steelcase's Brayton, Metro, and Vecta brands, but also includes pieces made by Carl Hansen & Son, Walter Knoll AG & Co., Viccarbe, and PP Mobler.[4] Their original brand focus was on designing office and home furniture that appeals to what the company called “live/work lifestyles, but later shifted their focus away from creating home-oriented pieces toward creating more work-oriented pieces.”[1][5]
In 2012, it was announced that Coalesse was planning to expand their business operations into Europe.[3]
