Dates Weiser and Interface Give Each
Other A Leg Up Beginning NeoCon 2002
CHICAGO – Dates Weiser, a leading manufacturer of casegoods
and custom woodwork furniture, and Interface Flooring Systems–the
world’s largest manufacturer of free-lay carpet tiles–are pleased
to announce that the two contract furnishings innovators are now co-exhibiting
their products in Interface’s showroom at 440 North Wells in Chicago.
This new arrangement will kick off during NeoCon 2002 and will continue
indefinitely.
"Although Dates Weiser and Interface represent thoroughly different
niches in the contract market, both companies share a mutual admiration
for what they represent in their respective markets," says Allan
Weiser, President of Dates Weiser. "The beautiful floor finishes
and the flexible floor access to power, data, and communications that
Interface’s showroom offers will create an ideal venue for Dates
Weiser products."
"The Interface Companies understand the importance of systems thinking,"
continues Chip DeGrace, Vice President of Creative Strategy, Interface
Flooring Systems. "A product can’t realize its true potential
if it doesn't acknowledge its interaction in a system of interconnected
components. It is in this spirit that we are exhibiting the furniture
system from Dates Weiser with our floor-covering, access flooring and
modular power and data systems at our Chicago showroom."
Both companies share similarly celebrated leadership roles in their market
categories for artful design, uncompromised quality, fresh workplace solutions,
and a mindset for integrating technology. The Interface showroom–which
will display products from Dates Weiser’s award-winning xo line of
workstations, reception desks, private office casegoods, and tech-integrated
conference tables–is located at 440 North Wells, Chicago, tel: 800-336-0225.
Founded in 1982 by Jim Dates and Allan Weiser, Dates Weiser has earned
a reputation as a leading manufacturer of quality and custom executive
furniture alongside its recently-unveiled xo line. A kit of parts from
which private offices, workwalls, secretarial stations, and reception
desks can be configured, xo was awarded the prestigious Gold awards at
NeoCon, the nation's premier interior products fair held annually at Chicago's
Merchandise Mart, in both 2000 and 2001.
For nearly thirty years Interface has consistently led in innovations
of carpet and modular systems. Interface offers award-winning designs
on patented backing systems for a variety of end-use applications. Interface
is setting the pace for development of modular carpet using materials
and processes that take less from the environment, as it strives toward
the ultimate objective of designing every product to be truly sustainable.
Interface’s carpet manufacturing facilities in the U.S. and Canada
maintain third party registration to the ISO 14001 Environmental Management
System; and, in 2001, Interface was selected as the recipient of the GSA
Evergreen Award for its extensive corporate wide programs and commitment
to build environmental considerations into its business decisions.
