We are thrilled to announce that our Rightsize Facility Chicago Showroom has been named a winner in Work Design Magazine’s 2025 Next Work Environment Competition. Work Design Magazine This recognition underscores what we’ve long believed: when design, purpose, and planet-first values converge, we can redefine what the modern workplace can become.

Leading by Example in Sustainable Design

At the heart of this honor lies more than just aesthetics. It reflects the deep commitment of our team, alongside design partner Ware Malcomb, to push boundaries in sustainability, user experience, and smart workplace innovation.

In an era where clients, employees, and communities expect more from the built environment, this award reaffirms that Rightsize doesn’t just follow trends, we lead them.

A Closer Look at the Showroom That Turned Heads

Planet First as a Guiding Principle

From entry to exit, every aspect of the showroom echoes our “Planet First” philosophy. We embraced renewable and responsibly sourced materials like reclaimed wood, recycled metals, and sustainable textiles. Furniture is thoughtfully curated to meet GREENGUARD, LEVEL, and WELL certification standards, aligning with our commitment to health, wellness, and environmental stewardship.

Biophilic & Sensory Design

Nature is woven throughout the space. A striking curved moss wall evokes Earth’s organic shape. Tree-patterned lines on glass lead the visitor’s path. Living green walls and cloud-inspired acoustic panels soften transitions and elevate ambiance. The outcome? A place that feels alive, restorative, and intrinsically human.

Smart & Sustainable Technology

We leveraged technology to make the showroom not just beautiful, but intuitive and responsive. Smart room scheduling, live AV setups, and QR-code wayfinding make the space dynamic and interactive. Lighting and systems are optimized for energy efficiency without compromising comfort.

Designing for Experience & Emotion

More than a display of products, the showroom is conceived as a journey, one that stimulates curiosity, fosters connection, and inspires action. Movements through the space are choreographed, transitions between zones feel purposeful, and every visual cue is laden with intent.

Behind the Scenes: The Team & Vision

This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the passion and creativity of our collaborators. Together with Ware Malcomb, we strove to go beyond expectations and deliver an immersive, future-forward showroom that reflects the values we uphold.

We also extend sincere gratitude to our brand and industry partners, whose products, innovations, and shared ethos helped bring the vision to life.
