More Than a Home Stager!

Monday, June 14th, 2010

By now, we all know that home staging has grown into a legitimate multi-million dollar industry, servicing many home sellers with talented interior solutions to maximize real estate value. But did you know the decorative talents of home stagers are being successfully used in other sectors such as temporary relocation and corporate housing?

As a furniture rental company, I am finding more opportunities to provide turn-key housing solutions to temporarily relocated employees by contracting or referring home stagers to plan and prepare corporate houses and suites. Companies who rent furniture as a housing option are beginning to demand the suite (or house) be completely ready for the employee to move in: furniture planned; kitchen; bath; bedrooms and linen all organized; and the house has become a home.

I truly enjoy providing a custom corporate residence option. The economic benefits for companies are immeasurable from a cost benefit analysis to instant employee productivity. When asked, in my mind there is no better qualified person to provide a decorative, budget conscious solution than the professional home stager.

Moving to Toronto?

Friday, June 11th, 2010

Planning on moving to Toronto?  Whether you’re deciding to make such a relocation for a business opportunity, because of the allure of our fine city, or an irresistible combination of the two, Toronto has loads to offer for just about any new Torontonian transplant.

From a sheer numbers standpoint, the “loads to offer” bit makes a great deal of sense.  Toronto is Canada’s largest city, and its greater metropolitan area anchors the Golden Horseshoe of Southern Ontario, which is home to nearly 25% of Canada’s population.  Put enough hardworking people in one area and great things are bound to happen.

As the foremost city in Canada, Toronto’s economy centers around the business and finance sectors.  Home to the Toronto Stock Exchange, as well as the headquarters of all the primary banking institutions in Canada and a host of other corporations, Toronto certainly comes to work every day.

Our motto is “Diversity Our Strength,” and the vibrant, multicultural dynamism of our city can certainly attest to that.  Toronto boasts of the second-highest proportion of foreign-born residents of any major city in the world, edged out by only Miami in the United States.  However, Toronto’s immigrant population is much more polyglot, featuring Latinos, Asians, Europeans, and Africans in demographically significant populations.  This makes for a wonderful melting pot of cultures, cuisines, and ways of life, all within one city.

When you combine all those differing perspectives, you get a bevy of cultural opportunities to check out, and Toronto has that in spades.  It’s a North American center of theater, film, and art, and there are many shopping and nightlife districts, such as the Distillery District and the Yorkville neighborhood, worth visiting.

We here at Executive Furniture Rentals are proud to offer home furniture in Toronto.  Take advantage of our services, which also include custom corporate housing, as well as office furniture rental, and we’ll make your transition as smooth as possible.

Aeron Chairs in Toronto

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

aeron chairs torontoThe Aeron chair is a Herman Miller product, designed in 1994 by Don Chadwick and Bill Stumpf. It soon became a symbol of the dot-com bubble in the late 1990′s.

The chair was intentionally ergonomically designed to be very comfortable due to it’s range of fittings and adjustability. What makes it unique is the back seat which is made of stretched, semi transparent and flexible mesh called Pellicle.

Other manufacturers have followed with lighter and environmentally friendlier chairs such as Steelcase’s Think and Knoll’s Chadwick, but Aeron has maintained its icon status over time.

You’ll see the chair in Trump’s Apprentice board room, Elle Magazine’s meeting room (did you see the last episode of “The City”?) and dozens of other movies and commercials which fuels Aeron’s super status. In fact, we just rented 10 to an upcoming movie presently being shot in Toronto ( sorry, we are not allowed to reveal details)!

While Aeron may be North America’s most popular chair, it may not be the best chair for everyday office use. We have a variety of other office furniture in Toronto that can suit the needs of any office on any budget. I hope you will join me in the upcoming posts as I examine some alternative seating that may just be healthier for our bodies. Stay tuned!

Here’s a timeless commercial for the Herman Miller Aeron:
