Learn about all of the new products and eye-catching builds we had on display during our time attending Infomm 2019 in Orlando, FL.

Below is a recap of all the goodies we had on display in booth 1721 at the Infocomm show in Orlando, FL. This year, we were able to display several new products fresh off the assembly floor that are great solutions for integrators, architects and end users alike.

At Marshall Furniture, we pride ourselves on being able to provide customers with exactly what they need. Recently, there has been a surge in overhauling spaces to meet ADA (for good reason).

During the month of April, we at Marshall Furniture decided to hone our focus on all things architectural. Although we focus a lot on our products' ability to accommodate a wide range of technology, we also strive to make sure each build is a beautiful, one-of-a-kind piece.

Every January, our team at Marshall Furniture looks for new ways to continue our success and growth throughout the new year. To do this, we often look back at the previous year to evaluate our accomplishments and to determine our upcoming product and marketing focuses. Looking back at 2016, however, had a two-fold purpose for us. Last year, we were lucky enough to celebrate our 30th year in business. We celebrated in a variety of ways, like giveaways and prizes, but also by showing off our high-quality custom craftsmanship skills at tradeshows like Infocomm. What we discovered when we discussed last year's sales was that 2016 was filled with a variety of interesting and creative projects. Our design team each had their favorites so we felt it was only appropriate that we give those designs the attention they deserve. With 2016 still fresh in our minds, we'd like to take the opportunity to share, in detail, aspects of our most memorable projects.

Designing the look of your next furniture solution can sometimes be a daunting task. With most designs, tackling size, options and equipment are typically the foremost concerns.

During our 30 years in business, we've had several projects where space planning, ADA accessible furniture and equipment integration did not always play nicely. As ADA-friendly spaces increase, the ubiquitous, all-in-one solution to presentation furniture becomes all but obsolete.

Signed in 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all public areas, including jobs, education and transportation. Recently, there has been a surge of higher education, courtrooms, businesses and multiple other markets coming to terms with the need for ADA furniture in their spaces.

We're about to cannonball right into a topic that has been discussed and argued many times over.

Why? Well, there's plenty of preconceived notions and opinions out there that advocate for one method of construction or the other. Interestingly enough, people are still divided on this front with strong advocacy and exclusivity for one side or the other. In our own experience, we've come across plenty of instances where a client has asked us to build using their preferred method.

Happy July and Happy (almost) Independence Day!

As many of you may know, the annual Infocomm extravaganza happened last month and there were a record number of attendees – over 37,000! This year's show marked the 75th anniversary of Infocomm and its growth over the years was certainly reflected in the amount the foot traffic and interest we received and perceived at the event. At the show, held this year in Las Vegas, Nevada, we showcased a number of new products as well as some classics that we'd like to share with you, in case you were unable to attend or visit our booth.
