Client Testimonial
We weren’t simply moving offices—we were looking to transform the way we work. This required significant change: we needed partners that we could collaborate with. Drechsel & Knoll were those partners, acting as more than our furniture suppliers. They were intimately involved in the design process that was so critical to our success. We couldn’t be happier with the result: our people love our new space and the furniture is such a big part of that.
