Allow us to (re)introduce ourselves.

Welcome to Grand Rapids Chair.
You're in good company.

Be Our Guest

Hospitality is often cited as a source of inspiration when designing interiors — in other words, highly creative spaces that push boundaries and act as an extension of the brand experience. With roots in restaurants, our brand refresh aims to be inclusive of hospitality-inspired spaces of all forms. From trendy restaurants to campus gathering places and today’s open offices, Grand Rapids Chair products act as the perfect complement to your overall design.

Cafe

More than a drink or meal, it's the authentic feeling of connection.

Hub

Buzzing communal areas draw people in, creating a powerful hub for connection.

Between

Create opportunities to gather, even when traversing the spaces between.

Fresh Air

Less about escape and more about wellbeing and human connections.

A Refreshed Visual Expression

A Logo With Purpose

Our logo presents a fresh graphic expression while maintaining continuity with previous iterations bringing Grand Rapids Chair into a modern light. The new design features a circle — while the circle subtly evokes "Co" within "Grand Rapids Chair Company", more significantly, the circle symbolizes connection, aligning with our commitment to supporting spaces for connection.

A Palette Inspired by Ingredients

With core colors of black and white, GRC continues to be timeless and versatile. Our new accent color story is inspired by ingredients, paying homage to our roots in the restaurant industry. Reflecting elements from nature, our palette embodies a natural aesthetic, resonating with biophilia and the wellness benefits of connecting with the natural world.

The result is a wash of natural color with a touch of modernity that creates a palette that is as colorful as our furniture options.
