Furniture That Combines Work and Life
June 30, 2009 Consumer Products, Steelcase News
With products that fit as naturally in the office as the living room, Coalesse focuses on the increasingly growing similarities between work and life.
Coalesse is about a belief that the boundaries between work and life have blurred.
This is the inspiration for our new collection of products for live/work environments, and it brings together the rich design histories of three brands from the Steelcase family of companies – Brayton, Metro and Vecta – as part of the new Coalesse brand.
Coalesse’s premium live/work furnishings are for enlightened workers; it offers an opportunity for a new approach and feel to how people really work.
Where work is going.
Coalesse. Inspiration, everyday.

Uno Takes Flight
June 23, 2009 Innovation, Steelcase News
Have you ever taken a hot air balloon ride? If so, were you filled with excitement, fear, and amazement? There was only one thing that you trusted that day…the basket. You had faith that the basket was strong enough to hold you and the other people. Now imagine for a moment that the basket was an office chair. You may think this is an absurd possibility, but in reality it has happened.
Jonathan R. Trappe, a cluster balloonist, placed his complete trust in an office chair. He used his Uno chair as the gondola for his balloon flight. With helium balloons securely fastened to the chair, Jonathan and the Uno chair took flight. He reached a maximum altitude of 14,783 feet.
Next time you look up at the vast wonders of the sky…don’t just look for the shooting star or the jumbo jet or the bald eagle…look for the flying Uno chair, now that is a sight to see.
It is pretty evident that Jonathan loved his office chair. Have you ever traveled, gone out to eat, or been to the park with your chair? Let us know the great things that your chair has experienced with you.

Buy Think, Plant a Tree
April 1, 2009 Environmental, Steelcase News
Plant a tree for Earth Day without even leaving your chair. Think™ about the difference you’ll make.
Just order any new Think chair during the month of April, and we’ll plant a tree in support of the California Wildfire ReLeaf project, a tree-planting initiative of American Forests designed to repair burned forest ecosystems.
The dramatic 2007 wildfires in southern California have created tremendous additional need for reforestation with a goal to plant one million native trees to help reforest the state.
Think is comfortable—it tracks the body’s natural movement and responds intuitively. And very sustainable—Think contains up to 37% recycled content, is 98% recyclable by weight, and only takes five minutes to disassemble.
Think™ — Innovative, Comfortable, Responsible.
