Steelcase was founded as the
Metal Office Furniture Company in 1912 by Peter M. Wege in Grand Rapids,
Michigan. The Metal Office Furniture Company's first products included
fireproof metal safes and four-drawer filing cabinets which Wege invented and
manufactured for the Macey Company. In 1914, the company received its first
product patent for "The Victor," a fireproof steel wastebasket. The
Victor gained popularity due to its light weight achieved through a patented
process of bending flat steel at right angles to create boxes, and its ability
to prevent fires at a time when smoking was common indoors, particularly in the
workplace. In 1915, the company began manufacturing and distributing steel
desks and in 1937, the company collaborated with Frank Lloyd Wright on
office furniture. The partnership lasted two years and resulted in some of the
first modern workstations. The company officially changed its name to
Steelcase, Inc. in 1954 and became known as the leader of the furniture
industry in the late 1960s due to the volume of its sales and in 1973, the
company debuted the Series 9000 furniture line. Steelcase merged three of its
subsidiaries, Brayton International, Metro Furniture and Vecta to form Coalesse
in 2008. The three main brands of Steelcase Inc. are Steelcase, Coalesse,
and Turnstone. The company's current headquarters was built in 1983 and is in
Grand Rapids, Michigan.
