who we are
The contract furniture industry has undergone a quiet revolution. Flexibility isn't optional anymore. Sustainability isn't a checkbox. Acoustic performance can't be overlooked. The Work/Life Group recognized this shift early, curating manufacturer partnerships that define what's next in commercial interiors and high-end residential spaces.
Spanning Colorado, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, and South Texas, we're equally fluent in outfitting university campuses, healthcare facilities, corporate headquarters, hotels and restaurants, airports and transit hubs, municipal spaces, and luxury mountain chalets—bringing forward-thinking solutions to regions where every project tells a different story.
