Our Story
Founded in 2014, Forward Space was formed through the merger of Chicagoland’s two leading Steelcase dealerships—Office Concepts and OEC Business Interiors. Both of our former companies share rich histories in the marketplace dating back more than 50 years. In 2019, we expanded into Milwaukee, WI and opened a new warehouse and showroom to serve that market.
Utilizing our three full-service facilities, as well as a network of Steelcase dealers, we’re able to service our customers nationwide.
Our Purpose
Forward Space exists to help you propel your organization forward, bringing to life the spaces and environments that are designed precisely for your specific needs. Through the integration of the workplace’s four basic elements – furniture, architecture, technology, and flooring – we help people collaborate, concentrate, experiment, heal, and learn better.
We deliver functional, innovative spaces that connect…
