Offi Announces New Furniture and Lighting Products for ICFF

New York, NY   May 16^th 2009     Offi announces the introduction of eight new products designed by West Coast product designer Eric Pfeiffer. The introductions include several new furniture concepts and a collection of sculptural hand blown glass lights. "It is always a pleasure to work with Eric, and we are especially excited about showcasing his 2009 collection of uniquely thoughtful products at ICFF," says Barry Nicholson, Offi's Managing Director.

The new introductions draw inspiration from a diverse set of references; nesting Russian dolls, pork ribs and stacking cups. What unifies these divergent inspirations are a group of products that are clear in form and purpose. "With these products I tried to consider all aspects of bringing a product to market. We really studied the manufacturing, shipping and usability together as a whole," says Pfeiffer. "For Offi it is important to create heirloom products that will last a lifetime but are available to consumers at a reasonable price."

From the Big Rib table, which is totally modular and can grow with an add-on kit to a super functional all wood desk made in the US, each product tells a story. The Nester Boxes and Big Rib table were designed for ease of production, compact shipping and greater usability. The Trundle desk was designed in California, and made in Pennsylvania using sustainably produced raw materials from North Carolina, creating a local approach to design and production. This utility desk brings order to your workspace while highlighting US design and manufacturing. The lighting collection offers a whimsical set of accent lights meant as little furniture follies to brighten up your space. Each of the introductions is a timelessness expression meant to fit the context of everyday living.

Offi & Company was launched in 1997 out of the love for great design. This passion is satisfied by creating simple, beautiful and practical furnishings that address the modern urban lifestyle. OFFI products are created to be multifunctional, comfortable, and at home in any modern home in the world.
