This week, we’re taking a closer look at some uniquely designed furniture from companies who truly understand modern interiors. HighTower Group is a US-based furniture company made up of passionate design enthusiasts. Founded in 2003 by Scott Hartkopf, the company sources, produces, and delivers products from cafe chairs and lobby sofas, to breakout tables and magazine racks – perfect for your commercial work space. HighTower specializes in fresh, innovative designs that fit seamlessly in today’s corporate environment. With a keen focus on collaboration, flexibility, and mobility, HighTower helps boost and maintain our newest generation’s productivity at the office.
“Grey walls and cubicles are a thing of the past – offices should be be fun and engaging.”
Hartkopf says, “It was clear that our industry was craving new designs for commercial spaces, but needed these exciting, new designs to be more readily available & easy to specify. We all agreed and started to work on creating HighTower’s product collection based out of High Point, North Carolina.”
Co-founded by Scott’s two daughters, HighTower is “infused with the sensibilities of Gen Y.” This combination of generations provides the company with a unique perspective and makes it easy for them to design products that are desirable for how people work in today’s world.
