Industrial Design

Adhering to the principle that details reinforce the strength of the whole, SOM creates fixtures and furnishings that embody our commitment to functional, flexible, and sustainable design. From the creation of Steelcase’s first modern desk in the 1950s to recent projects for companies such as Halcon and Valli & Valli, SOM designs industrial objects that advance the forefront of innovation.

The firm draws on its multi-disciplinary pool of talent to envision products that are more energy efficient, cost-effective, and adaptable to evolving technologies. We also work closely with clients to help them uncover new potential in their brands. Collaborating with companies such as Formica and Milliken, we have developed strategies for reinforcing and expanding a brand with relevant designs that meet the demand for engaging, intuitive, environmentally contextual product lines.
