In 2017, global first-class real estate owner, developer, and fund manager Tishman Speyer introduced ZO. – luxury amenity spaces for their building tenants that promote wellness and work-life balance. From huddle spaces to game rooms to bar areas, ZO. allows for tenants to relax, network, and even host private events.Speyer partnered with global architecture firm Gensler to build their new ZO. Clubhouse and ZO. Lounge in Chicago’s CME Center. Then, our team collaborated with Speyer and Gensler to find the perfect interior furniture solutions for these vibrant spaces.

The ZO. Clubhouse and ZO. Lounge each have a unique purpose. The Clubhouse is a community space for collaboration, relaxing, and self-care. Here, we provided innovative solutions for a variety of spaces, including their: 4,000 sq ft game room, complete with shuffleboard and ping pong tables; Bar and lounge areas; Wellness rooms; Smaller board rooms and huddle spaces; Conference room, which offers seating for up to 175 people

The Lounge, conversely, is meant to be a quiet retreat for working or more mindful activities. Here, we focused on creating inviting lounge areas where tenants could settle in and be productive.

To create an environment where comfort meets function, we relied on modern aesthetics filled with pops of color, rich textures, and marble accents. Our team used a mixture of both high-end commercial and residential furniture pieces from our trusted vendors such as Knoll, Allermuir, and Normann Copenhagen to provide lounge chairs, huddle spaces, café dining sets, and conference room seating.
