The space was primarily outfitted with Steelcase, while using a handful of other manufacturers such as Bernhardt and Stylex for casegoods.

This project was centered around the client’s priority of ergonomics. Keeping in mind the open plan and clean aesthetic, a significant amount of glass paneling and walls were utilized. The glass walls were intentionally positioned to showcase the client’s large, colorfully curated art collection that was arranged throughout the space.

Numerous conference rooms, collaborative areas, and lounges are located throughout each floor to promote connectivity amongst employees.

Empire Office collaborated with design firm A+I to transform three floors of amenity space at 780 Third Avenue.

Over 20+ manufacturers were used, including Andreu World, Bernhardt, JSI, Muuto, Narbutas, and Resident Furniture to name a few. Custom millwork by Fabricate is incorporated throughout the biophilic amenity space.
