Steve Jobs built his first computer in a garage in California. While in his grandmother’s basement, Kevin Plank launched Under Armor. Even OstermanCron had similar beginnings. Although our current workspace is fancied with top-notch modular furniture and custom conference tables, Keith Cron and Joel Osterman’s humble beginnings started with many coffee shop get-togethers and kitchen table pow-wows. Find out more about their start here.
Going along with great success stories, one of our main office furniture manufacturers has a very unique beginning. Kimball Office originally sold pianos without ever having a thought that one day they’d be selling some of the most sought after, top-notch office desks in the country.
After a while in the industry, they realized their elegant pianos transferred perfectly into what many wanted in an office furniture design- a strong mix of both beauty and durability. Take a look – you’ll start to see the sophisticated style we’re talking about.
Isn’t it crazy to think- at one point, one of the premier Cincinnati office furniture manufacturers had more pianos than they did office desks? Regardless, they gave it a shot, and the rest is history.
That being said, it is okay for startups to not have all the bells and whistles that mainstream companies have. In fact, their contemporary office design gives off a personal feel that’s beginning to attract young talent. If this tells you anything, it’s that startup businesses are just what they sound like- an exciting leap of faith.
