When ArentFox Schiff relocated to the heart of downtown Los Angeles, the vision for the new office was to blend high-end aesthetics with advanced technology and a progressive approach to hybrid work. As the furniture dealer for the project, Tangram Interiors partnered closely with architectural firm Donaldson + Partners to deliver a fully customized solution aligned with the firm's modern vision of law office design.

Project Goals

ArentFox Schiff set out to break away from conventional law firm layouts and instead create a space that would reflect its future-facing brand and foster seamless in-person and virtual collaboration. The client prioritized customization, particularly in its boardroom and meeting spaces, and requested furniture that was both organically designed and highly functional. Key requirements included the integration of advanced technology into the furniture itself, accommodating hybrid work, and supporting high-end content production for podcasts, webinars, and virtual court sessions.

Solutions & Highlights

Tangram provided full furniture solutions for the office’s workstations, private offices, meeting rooms, and the centerpiece boardroom, with a sharp focus on craftsmanship, technology integration, and form. Furniture from Halcon, Steelcase, Humanscale, and Byrne was selected for its premium quality, ergonomic value, and ability to meet the client’s bespoke needs.

Spaces Furnished:

• Workstations & Private Offices: Equipped with ergonomic and sleek furnishings to support hybrid work and foster productivity.
• Meeting Rooms: Outfitted with high-performance tables and integrated power solutions to enable seamless communication across local and remote teams.
• Boardroom: The crown jewel of the office, featuring a fully custom Halcon table with built-in screens and an organic, curved design. This centerpiece offers both aesthetic impact and cutting-edge functionality.

Our Approach:

Tangram worked in tandem with Donaldson + Partners to ensure every piece of furniture echoed the firm’s commitment to elegance, innovation, and connectivity. One of the most striking elements is the custom-designed green curved panels from Halcon, which add organic warmth and architectural distinction to the boardroom. The technology-forward boardroom table also serves as a functional showpiece, facilitating high-stakes meetings and presentations with integrated screens discreetly housed within the table base.

From ergonomics to finishes, every product was selected with both performance and presence in mind, complementing the office’s breathtaking city views and California-modern aesthetic.

Results & Impact

The new ArentFox Schiff LA office now supports its staff in a dynamic, tech-enabled environment that embodies the future of law firm design. Tangram’s furniture solutions played a key role in supporting collaboration, hybrid work, and the firm’s multimedia initiatives. The result is a space that reflects both the professionalism and innovation of ArentFox Schiff—elevating daily work while offering a welcoming and visually inspiring atmosphere for clients, attorneys, and staff alike.
