City National Bank is one of the few banking institutions headquartered in Los Angeles.  Their success and reputation were built on servicing the entertainment business and grew to being a leading financial resource for the business community in Los Angeles and the country.  The success of CNB’s business model has lead to dramatic increase in branches, executive and administrative staff in the Los Angeles market. The bank has consolidated their staff in two locations Beverly Hills and downtown Los Angeles, City National Plaza.

Tangram and Steelcase have been a partner to CNB for many years by providing personalized service and quality products.  The variety of applications dictated by the range of work environments and styles have been satisfied by the array of solutions from seating, workstations and private office furniture supplied by Tangram and Steelcase.   Our team concurrently works to supply the retail and administrative environment and is currently partnered in the landmark move to City National Plaza which included over 1000 Steelcase Montage workstations, Steelcase Elective Elements private offices and various seating products.  This project will be active well into 2007.
