Haworth, Inc.'s Boston showroom achieves LEED Gold for Commercial Interiors

Haworth, Inc., a global leader in the design and manufacturing of office furniture and organic workspaces opened its new showroom in Boston in 2012. The 5,600 s/f showroom achieved LEED Gold for Commercial Interiors under the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED rating system in 2013. The project utilized the Integrated Project Delivery system. Haworth's Workspace Studio partnered with Perkins + Will, GMB Architecture + Engineering and Turner Construction to develop and implement the Urban Squares showroom concept. "The concept was inspired by the Boston Common and the abundance of green space throughout the city," said Haworth corporate brand director, Kurt VanderSchuur. The new Boston Showroom features Haworth's Integrated Palette, products that allow users to transition seamlessly from one work style or culture to another and the Haworth Collection, which includes products from Italian brands Cappellini, Cassina, Castelli, and Poultrona Frau.
