Our Story

Workplaces that transform.

The role of the workplace is changing. Gone are the days of the one-size-fits-all, utilitarian approach to office space design. More and more, businesses are looking for custom workplace solutions that stimulate employee engagement and foster growth. Employees need adaptable workspaces that compliment their workflow and offer improved work-life integration. As the workforce becomes more decentralized, there’s a real need to create a meaningful sense of place through work environments and collaborative workspaces that reflect our ideals and enhance the human experience.

At Spencer + Company, our perspective on these industry shifts, and our approach to meeting these new design demands, are shaped by a fundamental belief:

We believe in the transformative power of place.

Through thoughtful design and careful consideration, we believe a workplace has the ability to dramatically affect the dynamic of a company. When employees feel supported and inspired by their workplace, communication, productivity and value increase; generating prosperity for our clients and directly contributing to their long-term success.

That’s why we don’t just sell office furniture to fill spaces, we provide modern commercial office furniture, layout, and planning solutions that define places. Places that nurture and inspire. Places that function and evolve. Places that feel less like an office and more like a destination; where workplace culture drives performance, creativity and collaboration lead to innovation, and a company’s objectives are balanced with the well-being of its employees.

For 40 years, we’ve built meaningful relationships based on an appreciation for our client’s goals and objectives. We leverage experience and insight to help our clients look beyond today and identify the long term drivers and opportunities that influence their needs.

As a best-in-class Haworth Preferred Dealer, we benefit from their global perspective and collaborate with their team of industry professionals to support our clients’ needs and develop innovative commercial office design and planning solutions. Further, as a vertically integrated workplace design firm, we are a complete resource for providing cost-effective turn-key solutions — consistently implemented with care and precision.
