Detour™

A household name among contract manufacturers, Steelcase boasts 100 years of conceptualizing, designing, and manufacturing creative solutions for office environments. Founded in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1912 as “The Metal Office Furniture Company,” Steelcase’s original signature innovation was the steel trashcan: “a major innovation at a time when straw wastebaskets were a serious office fire hazard.” The infamous steel desk followed soon after. Today, the company’s extensive product portfolio encompasses the principle components of any workspace—interior architecture, furniture, and technology.
