FEATURED PROJECTS

DAY PITNEY

We loved working with Amenta Emma Architects on this exciting commercial project for prominent law firm Day Pitney. The design of their multi floor occupancy at Goodwin Square comes with tremendous views and access to light along with beautifully designed common areas, breakrooms and meeting space to accommodate the evolving function of the office. 

SPRINGFIELD COLLEGE

The students at Springfield College fell in love with these booths and banquettes in their newly renovated Student Union! The inviting design and comfortable seating have quickly become favorite spots for socializing and collaborative activities on campus.


CT CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL

Interscape is continuing to make healthcare environments more welcoming and inviting, which improves the experience - making waiting more comfortable. We furnish supportive, tailored spaces from client to client and project to project.

VA HEALTHCARE

Interscape created a PACT area for the VA Patient-Aligned Care Team to further assist in their approach to collaborative healthcare focused on wellness and disease prevention. This innovative space not only promotes teamwork and communication among healthcare professionals but also enhances the overall patient experience, fostering a holistic approach to healthcare at the VA facility.

THE VILLAGE FOR FAMILIES & CHILDREN

Interscape worked with the Village for Families and Children to create safe and unique environments to care for local teens and children. The facilities include an outpatient Urgent Crisis Center, and the state’s first and only sub-acute children’s mental health unit.

IRVING A. ROBBINS MIDDLE SCHOOL

We were thrilled to collaborate with IAR MS to provide furniture that adapts to the evolving educational environment. This project involved enhancing the school's lobby with stunning Teknion and Studio TK furnishings. Interscape takes pride in outfitting K-12 schools. View photos here.

TRUNORTH

The incorporation of Teknion glass demountable walls has successfully converted this area into a vibrant and open environment, enhancing the experience for tenants. This has contributed to a happier and healthier return to work.

CHARLES IT

Using a combination of demountable walls and height-adjustable workstations, we were able to create focused team areas to accommodate this IT company's transformative service structure.

WHAT'S NEW WITH TEKNION?

TEKNION KUPP TABLES AND CHAIRS

Kupp flip-top tables are the perfect companion for the Kupp horizontal nesting chair. Designed to accommodate the needs of any space, Kupp tables feature an intuitive surface-long handle and offer an optional bag hook and modesty available in Smooth Felt, Laminate and Flintwood. Angled legs create straight-line nesting for compact storage, and complement the Kupp chair legs. A linking device connects in all directions. Attention to design is seen with the two-sided worksurface finish, which maintains a clean table aesthetic in the vertical position..


Kupp chairs are inspired by the classic typology of the café chair and addresses the need for simple, portable seating in office, commercial and higher learning spaces where seating needs can change from moment to moment.
