Look closer.
Some say it’s all in the details, but design has to wow at the bell. Verner Panton was a master at infusing excitement into his designs. As we tip our hats to what would be his 100th birthday, we celebrate our mutual admiration for joyful design. Forms that engage hearts and minds, integrated with performance engineering.
Our partnership with Panton launched the PantoSwing in 1997. A refreshing change from rigid school seating. Look closer at the details and quality in our ergo-dynamic K-college furniture.

Built at the intersection of innovative engineering and thoughtful design, Levra adapts naturally to movement throughout the day.
See Levra at Design Days Allsteel Experience Center 345 N Morgan, 3rd Floor
Built for the way you work. Creative Tools.
Specs buried in documents. Product information scattered across systems. Endless back-and-forth to clarify details that should already be clear.
At Bitreel, we’re building creative infrastructure for the architecture and design industry—tools and systems designed around the way your team actually works.
We help our partners create a data-backed foundation where products can be explored visually, knowledge is instantly accessible, and ideas move seamlessly from inspiration to specification.
Our platform connects visualization, configuration, and intelligence—bringing sales, marketing, and design teams into a single, connected creative workflow.
From immersive Virtual Environments to interactive 3D Configurators and intelligent ReelChat AI knowledge agents, everything we build is designed to help architecture and design teams do their best work.
Be in touch. Let’s build together.

GEMELLIª, designed in collaboration with Carl Gustav Magnusson, is a single shell guest chair designed with an emphasis on sophistication and comfort. Gemelli’s unique cufflink feature was inspired by the shape of a gentleman’s cufflink, adding a unique and beautiful element that distinguishes the chair.
