Lamar Johnson Collaborative SLOAN SHOWROOM, CHICAGO
Sustainability and wellness are engrained in Sloan’s business, from its motto of Water Connects Us, to the efficiency of its commercial bathroom products and the research and development that goes into its touch-free innovations. So, when it came time to create its new flagship showroom and adjacent office space in Chicago’s Fulton Market district, sustainability was a priority in the design process to ensure the project was LEED Silver and WELL Gold certified. Sloan wanted to create a showroom geared toward hospitality, learning, and collaboration, so the design team developed a flexible space that minimizes its physical footprint while showcasing Sloan’s product offerings. The elegant and impressive showroom helps designers and architects imagine and explore options through interactive product displays and curated design rooms. Clients can experience special finishes firsthand, interact with different products in real-world displays, and engage with touch screens to learn more about Sloan’s commitment to sustainability and wellness. The Lamar Johnson team worked closely with Sloan’s marketing and product teams to understand the company philosophy. The result is a working showroom curated for interaction with Sloan products and the development of unique design solutions with project partners.
