Executive Office

This successful Financial Advisor’s office needed to exude a feeling of strength and sophistication, but be understated in its elegance. Instead of the expected traditional cherry wood furnishings, the lounge area features strong, classic modern furniture upholstered in black leather and grey wool flannel. At the far end of the space, we added a custom walnut and stainless steel wall unit composed of floating shelves, a flat-screen TV, and a bar. Black and white photography, featuring Detroit landmarks, and drapery panels complete the space. My client tells me he’s more productive than ever. Since our client’s office was long and somewhat narrow, we placed the door in the center of the space to divide it into two distinct areas-- lounge and work. The “work” side needed to function for both our executive’s desk AND conference area for team and client meetings. The solution: this extra-long, custom walnut desk. The desk’s “backsplash” is white milk glass, and can be used as a dry-erase board. Everything’s hidden- even the printer is in a drawer. Talk about feeling organized! Photo by Chani Devers.
