Home / Markets / Corporate & Workplace

A workplace has to do a lot at once: support heads-down focus and easy collaboration, flex as teams and hybrid schedules change, and reflect your brand — all while holding up to daily use. We plan and furnish for all of it, for offices of every kind — and we do it through an ergonomic lens, so the people who use the space stay comfortable, supported, and focused across a full working day.

One office or a whole campus — you’re the right size.

We love a big, multi-site rollout — but a single office is just as welcome. Small clients get the same expertise and the same manufacturers as the largest. No project is too small to do well.

Who we work with

Offices of every kind.

Law firms

Partner and associate offices, conference rooms, file and records storage, and a reception that sets the tone before anyone says a word.

Financial firms & banks

Advisor and executive offices, private meeting rooms, branch interiors, and secure storage — spaces that feel confident, discreet, and built to last.

Engineering & architecture

Large work surfaces, multi-monitor setups, plan and sample storage, and project rooms built around the drawings.

Manufacturers’ offices

The headquarters and administrative side of the business, held to the same standard as any corporate office — and we’re on the plant floor too.

Professional services

Accounting, insurance, consulting, and agencies — client-facing offices where first impressions and focus both matter.

General & headquarters offices

From a first office to a multi-floor headquarters — workstations, private offices, meeting, and amenity space planned as one.

Don’t see your field? Nonprofits, associations, tech, real estate, medical and business administration — if your people work in an office, it’s our scope.

Spaces we outfit

Every part of the workday.

Open Plan & Workstations

Benching and panel systems that balance density, focus, and flexibility for individual and team work.

Private Offices

Casegoods, seating, and storage for solo work, guests, and a meeting table — considered and durable.

Collaboration & Huddle

Project rooms and huddle spaces for two-to-six people — tables, seating, acoustics, and power that just work.

Reception & Lobby

The first impression — welcoming, on-brand, and built for high traffic.

Focus & Phone Rooms

From one-person phone booths to meeting pods and full enclosed conference rooms — quiet, freestanding spaces that give an open plan the privacy it’s missing.

Break Rooms & Café

Comfortable, durable spaces that pull people together and handle all-day use.

For landlords, developers & brokers

Spec suites that help lease the building

A move-in-ready, furnished suite leases faster — a prospect who can picture themselves working there signs sooner. We design and furnish turnkey spec suites: polished, durable, fully outfitted offices that show beautifully on the tour and turn over tenant after tenant. The kind of finished space that does the leasing for you.

Why AE for the workplace

The expertise of a big firm, the attention of a small one.

01

Any size, same care

One office or a multi-site rollout — we scale to the project, and a single room gets the same specification expertise and manufacturer access as a campus.

02

Independent, by design

We’re not tied to any single manufacturer. Our line card is hand-picked from across the industry — makers chosen for design, quality, value, and how they stand behind their product — so we recommend what fits your people, your budget, and your timeline.

03

We stay after install

30+ years of keeping the drawings, specs, and sourcing knowledge for what we’ve installed — so reconfigurations, moves, and growth stay consistent and easy, for years.

04

Ergonomics is our lens

It’s the difference behind every selection: 40 years of ergonomic specification, used to fit a diverse, hybrid workforce — so the furniture supports comfort, wellbeing, and focus all day, not just looks on day one.

Not every order needs a conversation.

About This Page

We’re a small company — is our project too small for you?
Not at all. Whether it’s a single office or a whole floor, you get the same team, the same product expertise, and the same manufacturer access as our largest clients. We size our involvement to your project, not the other way around.
Can you design for hybrid and activity-based work?
Yes. We plan around how your team actually uses space across a hybrid week — balancing focus, collaboration, hot-desking, and quiet enclosures — so the office works whether it’s half-full or full.
Do you work with our architect or designer, or lead it yourselves?
Either. We can lead programming, design, specification, and install, or work alongside your designer, architect, or GC as the furniture and execution lead. The role flexes; the accountability doesn’t.
Can you handle a phased rollout across multiple locations?
Yes — we coordinate consistent specification, pricing, delivery, and installation across sites nationally, so a multi-location program stays coherent and on schedule.

Working with Applied Ergonomics

What types of projects does Applied Ergonomics work on?
We work on projects of all sizes, from single-office setups to multi-floor corporate buildouts. Our services span workspace strategy, interior design, furniture specification, procurement, project management, and installation across healthcare, education, corporate, industrial, and hospitality environments.
How does the consultation process work?
We start with a conversation to understand your goals, challenges, and timeline. From there we develop a tailored approach that may include space planning, product recommendations, and a detailed proposal. There’s no obligation, and we’re happy to answer questions at any stage.
Do you work with architects and interior designers?
Absolutely. We regularly partner with architects and interior designers as a technical and execution resource, translating design intent into specific, high-performing solutions.
What geographic areas do you serve?
We serve clients nationally. While we’re headquartered in the Chicago area, our project management and installation capabilities extend across the United States.
Do you support ongoing facility needs after a project is complete?
Yes. We remain a consistent point of contact beyond project closeout—handling warranty coordination, reconfigurations, internal moves, modular system relocation and reuse, redesigns, and more. Our goal is continuity, not re-procurement.
