A New Season: Company Update

# A New Season: Company Update

As the commercial design landscape continues to evolve, Tangram Interiors is marking a period of significant growth and transformation. From coast to coast, we've been busy expanding our footprint and reimagining our spaces to better serve the design community.

## Establishing Roots in Dallas

Our expansion into the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex represents more than just geographic growth—it's a strategic move into one of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the world. Following our acquisition of BKM Total Office of Texas in October 2021, we've established our regional headquarters in this dynamic market.

Led by CEO Joe Lozowski, VP of Sales Amber Jones, and CFO Nick Greenko, our Dallas team has been working to integrate local talent while building relationships within the commercial real estate and design community. Currently operating from our pop-up location at 2112 Commerce Street, we're preparing for our permanent home at 300 Pearl in the heart of East Quarter.

The new space offers everything we need for our growing operations: central downtown location, unobstructed panoramic views, and premium amenities including a fitness center and private lounge. The move, scheduled for fall 2022, will mark the completion of our Dallas transformation.

**"DFW represents one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the world. We are eager to work with the local commercial real estate and design community to develop amazing workplaces,"** says Joe Lozowski.

## Newport Beach Showroom Transformation

Our Newport Beach location received a complete makeover in January 2022, and the results speak to the power of place-based design. Working with MOZU Architect Susie Tashiro and Tangram Designer Samantha East, we created a space that celebrates its coastal California setting.

The design draws inspiration from local flora and fauna, incorporating layered patterns, colors, and textures that reflect the natural beauty of Newport Beach. The material palette balances rich and neutral tones with lush fabrics, creating a hospitality-driven aesthetic that feels both sophisticated and welcoming.

Each area serves a specific purpose:

- **The lobby** creates immediate impact as visitors step off the elevator - **The work café** functions as the showroom's heartbeat—a flexible space for eating, working, and socializing that demonstrates the hybrid nature of modern offices - **Product vignettes** throughout showcase furniture in realistic workplace scenarios

**"We incorporated luxurious textures to create both a visual and tactile experience in the space,"** explains Samantha East. The showroom is now open for tours, offering visitors the chance to experience these design concepts firsthand.

## Steelcase Los Angeles WorkLife Center Renovation

The Steelcase Los Angeles WorkLife Center renovation, completed in spring 2021, demonstrates how contrasting design influences can create something entirely new. The concept merges LA's iconic aesthetic—sunset pastels, art deco, mid-century glamour—with the wild, bold energy of a rainforest.

This unexpected combination works because both influences share a common thread: they're unapologetically vibrant and full of life. The result is a space that feels authentically Los Angeles while offering something completely fresh.

The design team prioritized several key elements:

- **Authentic and natural materials** that ground the space - **Flexible configurations** that adapt to different work styles - **Balanced environments** supporting focus, collaboration, and rejuvenation

The renovation showcases how thoughtful design can honor a location's character while pushing creative boundaries. Tours are available for those interested in seeing how this bold vision translates into functional workspace.

## Looking Forward

These projects represent more than showroom updates—they're laboratories for testing design concepts that will shape the future of commercial interiors. As workplace needs continue to evolve, spaces like these help us understand what works, what doesn't, and what's possible.

Each location tells a different story about place, purpose, and possibility. From Dallas's urban energy to Newport Beach's coastal sophistication to LA's creative spirit, our showrooms serve as testing grounds for the ideas that will define tomorrow's workplaces.

For commercial design professionals looking to stay ahead of trends and see innovative concepts in action, we encourage you to visit our showrooms. There's no substitute for experiencing great design in person.
