A decades-old office furniture company is launching a new brand in downtown Denver.
Workplace Resource is opening a showroom for its interior design brand Adorn Objects in 3,000 square feet at 1671 Market St. in Market Station next month.
Adorn is Workplace Resource’s third sub-brand. The firm also started Built, which sells moveable walls, and Encore, a furniture maintenance and cleaning service.
Tina Pilger
Tina Pilger, formerly an account executive at Workplace, will lead Adorn as creative director. Hannah Drescher and Katie Tilleman joined as “creative experience specialists.”
“Workplace Resource does commercial furniture,” Pilger said. “We (Adorn) are the finishing touches that go on top of the furniture and put the sparkle in the space.”
Pilger said Workplace invested $320 per square foot in the buildout, which works out to about $960,000 total. On the second story, above Adorn, Workplace is taking 16,000 square feet of office and showroom space.
“It was a bonus for us to be able to be pretty adjacent to each other,” Pilger said. “It’s a great place where we can play off of each other but still run independently.”
Adorn will be open to the public, like any retail store, and sell things such as rugs, pillows and art, as well as design planning services. But, Pilger said Adorn’s goal is to “cater to the design community.”
“In the process of a project, there are so many decisions to make by the designers … when it comes to that last layer, it tends to be the smallest part of the process and so it tends to fall in a lower priority,” Tilleman said.
“It’s a whirlwind,” Drescher added. “We’re here to fix that chaos.”
With Adorn, Pilger said design firms don’t have to worry about the logistics of finalizing a space. Adorn will help the firms pick out pieces, but also offer packing, delivery and installation.
Workplace was founded downtown nearly 40 years ago, and is now headquartered in Central Park. Although it’s adding an office downtown, Pilger said it will keep its headquarters, as well as its second office in Colorado Springs.
“We really want to get our presence back downtown to be part of the revitalization efforts going on,” Pilger said.
