What does a 1990s management concept have to do with office furniture? A lot, actually. At TFX, quality isn’t a checkbox, it’s a mindset. We’re always asking, “How can we do this better?” From streamlining operations to rethinking how we remanufacture furniture, we’re all in on continuous improvement. In today’s fast-paced CRE world, reliability, efficiency, and sustainability matter more than ever.

As someone who's been in the business of remanufacturing high-end office furniture for corporate tenants, I'd heard plenty about NeoCon over the years. But nothing quite prepared me for the experience of walking into Chicago's The Mart for the first time this past June. 

The benefits of applying circular economy principles are clear across any market: avoid waste, extend the useful life of assets you already own, and, when additional inventory is needed, consider purchasing remanufactured office furniture to reduce costs and support sustainable practices.

Hi, I'm Adam Overell, COO and Head of Sustainability at The Furniture X-Change. We are always looking for ways to stay connected to what’s happening across the facilities management world, and events like NFMT are a great opportunity for that. I just got back from NFMT 2025 in Baltimore and wanted to share some quick thoughts. For anyone who’s not familiar, NFMT is the National Facilities Management and Technology Conference—hosted by Facilitiesnet.com—and it’s all about, well, everything facilities management.

Pre-owned office furniture often gets a bad rap, but the truth might surprise you. In today’s cost-conscious business world, choosing pre-owned isn’t just about saving money—it’s a strategic investment in quality, sustainability, and value. This month, we’re breaking down the biggest myths and setting the record straight.

It all starts with the right approach. Discover how TFX’s unique “RE” principles—Re-manufacture, Re-use, and Re-cycle—drive sustainable, cost-effective office asset management strategies.
