Coalesse is a United States-based furniture company founded in 2008. It is a division of Steelcase and creates products with the goal of encouraging collaboration. Coalesse is headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan with their design headquarters in San Francisco and their main showroom located in the Merchandise Mart in Chicago.
Coalesse launched in June 2008 at the NeoCon World’s Trade Fair in Chicago. It is a combination of Steelcase’s Brayton, Metro, and Vecta brands, but also includes pieces made by Carl Hansen & Son, Walter Knoll AG & Co., Viccarbe, and PP Mobler. Their original brand focus was on designing office and home furniture that appeals to what the company called “live/work lifestyles, but later shifted their focus away from creating home-oriented pieces toward creating more work-oriented pieces.”
In 2012, it was announced that Coalesse was planning to expand their business operations into Europe.
Coalesse has a 4,000 square foot in-house design studio and a team of seven to eight internal designers, with many partners worldwide, such as:
Coalesse has worked with companies such as Campbell Ewald, Scape, DirecTV, Grand Valley State University, Tolleson, and Quicken Loans to design some of their office spaces.
Some of Coalesse’s products have received awards at the NeoCon World’s Trade Fair:
In 2016, Coalesse’s LessThanFive Chair was included in an exhibit at Grand Hornu in Belgium that showcased the work of designer Michael Young.
