Custer Hosts First Stop of the Steelcase Hybrid Work Tour
The Steelcase Hybrid Work Tour began its journey at Custer in Grand Rapids, showcasing how thoughtful design and innovative technology can redefine the modern workplace. The event brought together business leaders, designers, and technology partners to explore what it means to create spaces that inspire collaboration, flexibility, and wellbeing in a hybrid era.
Throughout the experience, attendees saw how Steelcase and Custer are designing for the new rhythms of work. The spaces demonstrated how hybrid work is less about where people work and more about how they connect and thrive. Environments encouraged focus, teamwork, and belonging while balancing the needs of in-person and remote participants.
Technology partners such as Microsoft, Logitech, and Crestron played a key role in illustrating how integrated solutions can enhance hybrid collaboration. From intelligent meeting rooms to adaptive furniture and smart lighting, the tour highlighted how seamless tech integration supports equitable and engaging experiences for everyone.
Launching in Grand Rapids reflected both Steelcase’s local heritage and Custer’s expertise in creating innovative workspaces. Together with their technology collaborators, they set the stage for organizations everywhere to rethink how people, place, and technology come together to make hybrid work truly work.
