Since OfficePlanIt + Olab Studio opened in downtown San Diego on 1st November 2009, they’ve become the ‘go to’ resource for office furniture and systems.

• Traina Design
• xCom Global

“We’re excited to be recognized at this level in our community,” remarks president, Jim Edmondson, “It demonstrates that we’re providing the level of service and product that our market demands.”

With the recent addition of new division LightingPlanIt, Edmondson anticipates rapid growth during the organization’s first year.

If you want to know just how committed OfficePlanIt + Olab Studio is to earning a reputation for being at the forefront of their industry, you need look no further than their current performance.

They’re moving into their brand new offices at the end of October – the contractors are still hard at it, striving to meet the deadline, and their official opening will be heralded with an Open House planned for November 12th.

However, not content to sit and wait,  they’ve already been hard at work landing another two prestigious projects to their schedule.

National Asset Direct supports the acquisition and management efforts of various investment funds in the residential and resale estate related asset classes.

When looking for an office furniture supplier for their new San Diego offices, they invited bids from notables such as Haworth and Herman Miller for the more than 16,000 square foot space featuring 102 workstations, private offices as well as ancillary furniture and trader’s desks.

OfficePlanIt and Olab Studio managed to trump all the big names with a project-winning bid that delivered what National Asset Direct was looking for: value, quality and an innovative approach.

President Jim Edmondson is excited to have National Asset Direct as a client.  ”It’s not just that this is a large project, but also, these are great people to work with,” he says.  ”On top of that, it’s exciting to think that organizations like National Asset Direct see us as contenders in a very competitive market place – even before we’re ‘officially’ open!”

The second of their recent successes in the market is the Geary Interactive project. “Geary Interactive has been ranked as one of San Diego’s fastest growing companies,” notes Edmondson.

“We’ll be installing work stations for about 40 people in their new San Diego corporate headquarters.”

Olab Studio, along with dTank, had the opportunity to tailor design this project for Geary Interactive who have 7 locations across the country including San Diego, San Francisco and Los Angeles on the West Coast.
