It is befitting that a space designed to reflect The Nature Conservancy’s mission includes natural elements, textures, and accents familiar to the organization’s cause. Located in the historic Wrigley Building, TNC’s new Chicago office offers panoramas of the Chicago River, the Loop, and Lake Michigan while maximizing natural daylight and focusing on eco-friendly materials.

Seem 1 Acoustic Trio in various muted hues was a natural fit for the reception area with a texture and colors that blend with the other materials used. Its superior sound-absorbing properties and the significant recycled content of the PET felt used as the sound dampening material promote occupant’s comfort and support TNC’s mission. Indirect/direct illumination draw attention to the open ceiling and provide comfortable lighting for the employees and guests.
