CBI (Culture-Based Interiors) is a commercial furniture vendor in Austin, TX. They wanted an interior showroom and office space to house their merchandise with a flow that walks the client through an office anyone would want to call their own.

CBI is predominantly known for their value price-points. They wanted to provide a fresh look/brand to expand their goods and marketing to a more high-end client base. Our biggest challenge was presenting a design that pushed them out of their comfort zone and inspired them to strategically increase their budget and really get excited about their interior.

The space finds balance by upgrading certain materials and light fixtures, while keeping the buildout simple to showcase the furniture products on the floor. We created a timeless, modern interior to display demountable walls, acoustical solutions, and office furniture. We utilized their brand logo but refreshed the look with a laser cut steel sign wrapping the corner at the reception. To finish off the design, we provided open ceilings throughout the space while marrying different planes with angled wood ceilings. The refreshed interior now creates a unique show-stopper for a client experiencing the space.
