a letter from our ceo

The landscape of the workplace is rapidly evolving. 

 

After over 20 years in the office solutions industry, I saw an opportunity to challenge the way my peers approached office spaces. Static installation systems and furniture-first sales practices weren’t evolving with the current landscape. Culture seemed to be an abstract notion relegated to fabric swatches and acrylic signage.

 

I know we can do better. Designing office spaces isn’t just about getting product to the workplace — it’s about building synergy between the product, workplace, and client. A synergy distinctively based on company culture. In a world where talent can work almost anywhere, your workspace has to work just as hard for talent. With each and every detail making a compelling argument for why they should work, collaborate, and thrive in your space.

After lengthy discussions with a team of workspace ninjas, from all walks of business, we carefully mapped out a new business prototype: one that puts people and culture first. We wanted to offer an alternative to larger firms. One where our clients would know we’re solidly in their corner as their personal culture advocates.

Hence, Corner — a small agency designed to passionately meet the needs of the modern workspace; from startups to Fortune 500s. Emphasizing culture, collaboration, technology, and adaptability, our goal is simple:

Corner should be a place where culture and logistics meet.

A space where teams come work together better. One that simplifies the transition from individual work to impromptu meetings. A distinctive space that embraces your brand and culture at every turn. We believe in deeply integrating ourselves within the culture of our clients and share their commitment to brand success. And lastly, with a small and talented team, we choose to work with only a select number of clients at a time for absolute focus.

We’re passionate about making a business that builds exceptional workspaces for our clients. Spaces that we and our clients are proud of.

If you think Corner sounds like a great fit for your business’ current and future workplace needs, please reach out to me personally. Let’s start the conversation.

 

Sincerely,
 

A. Douglas Ellis Jr.
