Furniture can either drive culture forward—or quietly drive people away. And when it really works, your people do too. In this episode of Create A Place podcast, Kristina York sits down with Gilbert Broco, President of CI Group, to explore the deeper role furniture plays in how people feel, work, and connect. From flexible layouts and mock-ups to early collaboration between architects, designers and dealers, Gilbert shares how intentional choices around furniture can support culture, increase engagement, and even prevent turnover.

This conversation isn’t about trends—it’s about building workplaces that work, for the people who use them. Whether you're navigating hybrid return plans or rethinking your next office build-out, this conversation brings a fresh perspective on how furniture can be one of your most strategic tools.

🎧 If you're leading change, shaping culture, or rethinking how space supports performance—this one's for you.
