Paper, paper and more paper.

The Morstan General Agency was, like many insurance agencies, frequently beset by blizzards of paperwork. The dreary atmosphere was aggravated by the low-light, cluttered interiors of the Manhasset, New York office, one of eleven in five states. The solution? Efficient, yet attractive furniture from Kimball Office.

Design Challenge
For all 206 employees (including executives, agents and support staff) in the Manhasset office, Morstan Co-CEO Al Eskanazy envisioned "classic, yet light and bright" spaces. Kimball Office’s broad availability of wood — in both systems and casegoods — promised exactly the solution he sought.

Designer Stacy Poulaf of The Phillips Group on Long Island responded with recommendations for work stations and offices in warm woods, laminates and fabrics. To brighten the space even further, "One of my main objectives was to maximize the light flowing in from the surrounding windows, to bring it into the

 
     

heart of the interior." The design accomplishes that through generous use of glass in panels and walls.

Poulaf also added worksurface space for sorting and scanning paperwork. Horizontal space was expanded further by moving computers to corner units. Also, overhead shelf space was purposely limited to help reduce misplaced paperwork, which tends to increase in proportion to the available shelving.

The Kimball Office Solution
Morstan’s Manhasset office now shines with 189 Cetra workstations with wood trim, three large Evoke offices, six laminate Footprint offices, and four wood Footprint offices. The chosen wood finish is Amber Cherry throughout, with Cinder and Antique White laminates. Panels are covered in Linen Truffle.

Kimball Office’s e-magine software program helped Eskanazy visualize Poulaf ’s recommendations. "The furniture looks amazing and I absolutely love the way everything turned out," says Eskanazy. "It looks gorgeous!"

Poulaf is equally pleased. "I think people take pride in this space, and they feel better about coming to work now. That’s really what it's all about"
