History and operations
Coalesse launched in June 2008 at the NeoCon World's Trade Fair in Chicago.[1] It was formed through the combination of Steelcase's Brayton, Metro, and Vecta brands, and has collaborated with manufacturers including Carl Hansen & Son, Walter Knoll AG & Co., Viccarbe, and PP Møbler.[4]
The brand initially focused on furniture designed for both residential and workplace settings, often described as "live/work" environments, and later shifted toward a greater emphasis on workplace applications.[1][5]
In 2012, the company announced plans to expand its business operations into Europe.[3]
Coalesse operates as part of Steelcase's portfolio of brands focused on workplace design.
