Can traditional office design and current workplace innovations be successfully combined in a government office? Yes, they can, and Pacific Office Interiors has developed the skills to do exactly that for design and furniture for government projects at the local, State and Federal levels.
We understand the unique needs, requirements and expectations of government projects. And, how to blend them with current workplace innovations for a design that works flawlessly, and that people love.
So, if you would like to explore how to take advantage of current workplace trends like work from anywhere, work from home and work from third places for your government furniture and interior design projects, we should talk.
Leading with Design – Putting You First
Pacific Office Interiors leads with design rather than with furniture and furnishings. We work with over 250 carefully curated contract furniture manufacturers. Because of these relationships, we know we can satisfy any possible design requirement, enabling us to lead with design.
Understanding your needs, expectations and requirements in detail is the first step. We assign a dedicated project captain, each with a degree in interior design and years of interior design experience, to discuss and develop your design in detail. We listen intently and begin the design process based on this knowledge. As the design progresses, we continue to listen to your needs and requirements, honing the design project into a perfect solution.
We put you first.

Buy for Decades of Use
Government entities are almost always operating on a strict budget and are unable to replace or upgrade their furniture when design trends change. So an important driver in the design and furniture for government projects is the desire to buy quality products that can be expected to serve for decades. When faced with buying for extended use, procuring furniture from high quality furniture manufacturers like Haworth makes sense.
We have seen government office spaces with Haworth furniture from the 1990s and earlier still in use. In many, if not most cases like this, the same furniture is still available even if the fabrics or finishes are different, allowing us to upgrade, enhance and add to their offices, rather than being forced to replace every piece.
How is this beneficial for your agency or department? There are several key benefits:
- Reuse of serviceable furniture is good environmentally, keeping resources out of landfills.
- It capitalizes on earlier investments and budgets, reflecting good stewardship of taxpayer money.
- Total design and furniture costs may be lower.
- Mixing old and new finishes and fabrics can give the space a current and appealing feel.

Interior Design and Contract Furniture for Government
Government agencies routinely publicly award set-price purchasing contracts to furniture manufacturers. These contracts also put the mechanisms in place for government agencies to specify and buy furniture and furnishings for their projects from premium manufacturers like Haworth from dealers like Pacific Office Interiors.
When your government entity chooses POI as your Contract Furniture Dealer, you will get…
- Better than market pricing regardless of project size.
- Prices locked in, regardless of order size.
- Faster project turnaround because no bidding is required.
Pacific Office Interiors excels at managing contract furniture projects, which requires a deep understanding of the process which our order management team has developed over 40 years of experience.

Government Office Design: Blending Traditional Spaces with Workplace Innovations
Some of our government clients prefer a more traditional and hierarchical approach to office size, furnishings and layout. Our design professionals are accustomed to meeting these requirements based on our experiences with other government furniture and design projects.
The nature of what the agency does can also drive the tendency towards more traditional space use.
For example:
- Public spaces for service delivery that reflect local culture, values and expectations (comfortable, not lavish, use of local and cultural art and colors) and account for the specific needs of the constituents, such as calming colors for patients, Lobbies and offices in multi-use buildings, Freestanding facilities like libraries and community centers.
- Private offices and rooms for confidential meetings.
- High cubicle walls for working without distractions.
- Large capacity physical document storage accessible by many employees.
We do all of this while keeping contemporary ergonomic standards in mind.
Other government entities prefer a more contemporary approach. For those entities, we can integrate modern office innovations like work from anywhere, work from home, adoption of the latest workstations or changes in how space is used to encourage collaboration and open, informal communication and interaction — which are hallmarks of modern corporate office space design. We have developed a special expertise in this sort of integration in government, corporate, education, and other projects.
