A global defense technology company dedicated to developing and delivering electronic blank ammunition systems for tactical military training needed to furnish their U.S. office — a space that would serve defense contractors, military clients, and government partners while supporting a technical engineering team developing cutting-edge training technology.

They called Common Sense Office Furniture.

Challenge

A defense technology company operating in the military training sector holds itself to a different standard than a typical corporate office. The space needed to project authority and professionalism for the government and defense visitors who walk through the front door, support the executive leadership managing a global operation across two continents, provide the technical engineering workstations a product development team demands, and host the tactical demonstrations and high-stakes client briefings that define the company’s U.S. market presence.

Four distinct spaces. One cohesive environment. Zero room for anything that felt off-brand for an organization operating at the intersection of defense technology and national security.

Solution

Common Sense Office Furniture furnished the company’s U.S. office across four spaces — reception, executive office, engineering workstations, and conference room — using Corp Design’s Grigio Potenza collection as the primary design foundation, supplemented with Herman Miller Aeron seating for the engineering team.

Reception

The reception area creates the first impression for every defense partner, military client, and government visitor who enters the U.S. office. A Corp Design Grigio Potenza reception desk shell at 72″W x 36″D x 43″H creates a commanding, substantial front desk appropriate for a company operating in the defense technology sector. A Grigio Potenza angled right return completes the full wraparound reception configuration.

The Blanco series elevates the reception further — a square front overlay with two pigeon holes and built-in LED lighting gives the reception desk a premium, modern-tech aesthetic that immediately communicates the company’s identity as a forward-thinking defense innovator. A Blanco transactional rectangular overlay with three pigeon holes on the return provides organized transaction space for visitors and administrative processing. A Grigio Potenza Deluxe BBF pedestal completes the reception with organized accessible storage.

Executive Office

The executive office was built around a comprehensive Corp Design Grigio Potenza workstation configuration. A 30″D x 60″W single-station group desk shell with integrated legs, beams, and mounting hardware provides a clean, professional primary workspace. Two 24″x66″ Grigio rectangle worksurfaces extend the configuration — providing generous surface area for the simultaneous management of global operations, U.S. market development, and defense sector partnerships.

A 24″D x 42″L O-leg return and 24″D x 28.5″H O-leg single unit complete the wraparound workstation. A Corp Design Grigio Potenza Deluxe wall-mounted hutch with white glass doors and floated glass top at 72″W x 15″D x 17″H provides premium overhead storage above the workstation. A Grigio Potenza Deluxe mobile BF pedestal with fabric cushion top adds organized file storage within the workspace. A Corp Design Concepto mesh-back visitor chair completes the office for client and colleague meetings.

Engineering Workstations

The engineering team developing and refining the company’s tactical training technology required workstations built for sustained, detail-intensive technical work. Pre-owned Herman Miller Aeron chairs in Size B — sourced through Office Techs LLC — provide premium ergonomic seating at a cost-conscious price point without compromising the quality a technical development team demands. Pre-owned workstations comprising three 6’x5.5′ configurations and two 30″x60″ straight configurations with single overhead storage units provide the organized surface area engineering teams require. Safco Black Medina Extended-Height mesh-back task chairs complete the area with additional ergonomic seating options.

Conference Room

The conference room hosts product demonstrations for military clients, tactical training discussions with defense partners, and high-stakes strategic meetings that define the company’s trajectory in the defense sector. A Corp Design Coltello 8-foot conference table at 91″L x 48″W anchors the space — substantial, authoritative, and scaled appropriately for formal defense and government meetings. Corp Design MENTE nesting training chairs provide flexible seating that reconfigures for different meeting and demonstration formats. An integrated Corp Design electrified power module keeps technology connected and accessible throughout every briefing.

  • Four distinct spaces fully furnished — reception, executive office, engineering workstations, and conference room — delivered as a single coordinated project with a consistent, authoritative aesthetic throughout
  • A commanding Corp Design Grigio Potenza reception with Blanco LED overlay creating a premium first impression for defense and government visitors
