Trusted Media Brands is a media & direct marketing company. Their best-known media brands include Reader’s Digest, Taste of Home, The Family Handyman, and others. All combined, TMB’s publications reach over 44 million unique viewers a month.

With an expiring Manhattan lease, they sought an updated space to appeal to their younger employee base and clientele. Although TMB has six offices throughout the US, it had been many years since they had furnished an entire office starting from the bare shell. Mike Garzone, TMB’s VP, Supply Chain and Corporate Facilities, put the project out to bid. Although his RFP included a general sense of layout, he left the floorplan open to evaluate the vendor’s design capabilities.

TMB chose Jefferson Group to furnish their comfortable new space. In summary, he felt Jefferson’s creative proposal had physical appeal, functionality, and overall “a down-to-earth, common sense approach to the project.” Our cost advantage over the competition, while maintaining product and design quality, helped seal the deal.

Reception & Waiting Area

With soft-close drawers and made in the USA, the DARRAN Reception desk is the centerpiece of the modern lobby area. In addition, the subtle details of the two Encore lounge chairs include a tapered back, carefully positioned tailoring, and gently sloping arms.  Above all, these combine to provide guests with incomparable comfort when waiting.
