“The displays and shelves are very cool… We don’t always get to see exuberance and style in recycled content furnishings!”
Ken Draves, Int. Director
Poudre River Public Library
“These custom designed units are far better than what we’d originally envisioned. All of our requested elements were incorporated into the design and we now have units that suit our specific and exacting needs!”
Jenny LaPerriere, Senior Librarian
Denver Public Library
“I totally love those jumps, jellies, and bugs, and the unique shelving. They are functional, yet airy and fresh. I can envision a contemporary library that replaces traditional shelving with your display units throughout. This would lend itself to more “zones” and browsing.”
Joseph Montalbano
Architect
“The Supple Collection was born from the realization that there are countless unmet needs in the library furnishings market. For decades libraries have been filled with mass produced furnishings that fail to address the uniqueness of the library they are housed within. This has caused inflexibility at a time when libraries must be responding to an ever-increasing rate of change to their services and space needs.”
Deva Montalbano
Graphic Designer
“Successful libraries make people feel smart and creative, and furnishings play a major role in that perception. Wayfinding and signage must be integrated into each unit in a seamless manner so the information disappears when it is not needed. This information must also be easily modified as the library changes seasonally, and flexible enough to fit any wayfinding scheme in any library.”
