Great workplaces, guided by people who own the outcome.
Since 1948, BOS has helped organizations design, furnish, and evolve workplaces their people love — as the world’s first Haworth dealer and a 100% employee-owned company.
A workplace project is rarely just furniture. It’s hundreds of decisions — and every one of them shapes how your people show up.
BOS is a commercial interiors partner that guides organizations through all of it: workplace strategy, design, furniture, installation, technology, and everything after move-in. We’ve done it since 1948 — and because we’re employee-owned, the person guiding your project has a real stake in how it turns out.
The BOS story, in ninety seconds.
Integrity, inspiration, and commitment — and what it looks like to guide a workplace from first idea to move-in day.
Built over three quarters of a century — and owned by the team.
From a single Illinois furniture company to a family of brands serving clients across the Midwest and Florida, the throughline has never changed: guide people to a workplace that works, and stand behind it.
BOS opens its doors in the Chicago area, built on service and long-term relationships.
A partnership that still anchors the business — and made BOS a Best-in-Class Preferred Dealer.
BOS becomes an ESOP. Every team member becomes an owner, accountable to each client’s outcome.
Six locations, four Inspiration Centers, and 350+ manufacturer lines under one point of accountability.
The product is the same on both paths. The difference is the guide.
Great furniture matters — and with Haworth we deliver the best. But a workplace project succeeds or stalls on the hundreds of decisions around it. Three things make BOS the guide that gets them right.
Employee-owned
Everyone you work with at BOS is an owner of the company — empowered to make the right call in the moment, and personally accountable for how your project turns out. Your success is their investment, not just their job.
Owned by the people who deliver your project.
BOS is 100% employee-owned. There’s no distant ownership to answer to — the people planning, specifying, and installing your space are the same people who own the company.
That ownership mindset shows up as responsiveness, long-term recommendations over quick wins, and relationships that outlast the install. We build the kind of culture we help our clients build.
Everything your workplace needs — under one point of accountability.
The 360° Experience isn’t a promise; it’s a group of specialist companies that work as one team. You get the depth of five firms and the simplicity of a single call. Whether the work is delivered directly by the BOS Family of Brands or through our trusted partner network, you get a consistent, coordinated solution — and one team that owns the result.
Strategy, design, and commercial furniture — led by the Haworth partnership and 350+ lines.
New, used, and remanufactured furniture, plus decommissioning, recycling, and resale.
Union installation, custom cabinetry, trim, and creative interior elements.
The Single Dealer Model.
Minimize redundancies, reduce costs, and increase efficiency through a single partner that knows your business and manages your total workplace portfolio.
Our network of dealer and installation partners across the U.S. and Canada means we can handle any project, any location, any time — with the same single point of accountability our clients get in Chicagoland.
And a real sustainability story — thousands of workstations kept out of landfills every year, from discovery to decommission. See our sustainability impact →
Designers, project managers, and owners — all in.
More than a third of our team are degreed interior designers, with NCIDQ-certified and LEED-accredited professionals on staff. It’s the expertise behind every specification — and the reason clients stay with us for decades.
Four Inspiration Centers. Six places to reach us.
