Industry leaders discuss Inclusive Design and equitable workplace experiences.

Leaving traditional office meeting rooms and earlier soundproof pods behind, Framery’s new, innovative pods deliver greater user benefits, are more sustainable, improve over time, and cost less than the models they replace.

In 2022, MillerKnoll, in collaboration with IA-Interior Architects and Catalyst, launched the Diversity-In-Design initiative aiming to foster inclusivity and diversity in the design field.

Catalyst Con+struct is proud to be partnered with Falkbuilt, bringing innovative construction solutions to the market.

We just had Design Days + NeoCon, the giant trade show held every year in Chicago. This is always a valuable experience for clients, designers, and dealers alike to see the latest workplace design trends, innovative furniture solutions, and commercial interior concepts.

We've been hearing the buzz lately and want you to know what's going on behind the scenes at MillerKnoll. Below are the answers to (hopefully) all of your questions about the exciting things happening with MillerKnoll and Catalyst!

Catalyst Workplace Activation, the region's largest office furniture dealer, has acquired one of its major local competitors, Western Office Interiors.

After 36 years at Catalyst and as former Executive Vice President of Operations, we are delighted to announce our very own Ralph Willis will be leading Catalyst Workplace Activation as President.

Framery is excited to unveil Framery One, the world’s first connected phone booth. Video conferencing has become a core facet of business today. Research shows that by the end of 2021, 30% of the global workforce will work remotely multiple days per week, leading to increased video conference calls. The top-of-the-line futureproof pod combines 4G technology and a digital ecosystem with superior acoustics and Framery’s distinguished design DNA.

We've launched our new website and we're excited to share it with you!

This past week we celebrated our employees with more than 5 years at Catalyst with our Longevity Awards! We would like to particularly celebrate our Executive Vice President of Finance, Christine Cason and our Inventory Supervisor, Jim Foyston who are each celebrating 30 years with us! We'd like to congratulate all and thank them for their dedication to Catalyst!

On February 1, 2018, Catalyst introduced Loft version 3.0, The Future of Work: The Intersection of People, Place, and Technology.

Everyone is asking for the workplace of the future, but a better starting point would be to imagine the work of the future.

At Catalyst, we take summer seriously. Company Unity is one of the values that we love celebrating. Our summer kickball tournament & bbq is all about fun, laughter and a little friendly competition.

BiNW will now be doing business as “Catalyst Workplace Activation”!
