bkm Expands Our Reach Through Laboratory Furniture
bkm OfficeWorks is one of the most storied providers of office furniture solutions in Southern California and beyond. Our customer service, innovative designs, and strong team members have all positioned us as leaders in our industry. We are proud of the enhancements we have created for human productivity and better workplaces in San Diego and Riverside counties. While our company’s stance is strong, we have now evolved our services even further.
bkm’s support of the rapidly growing life sciences industry is reflected in our latest business venture. We have expanded our reach through on-and off-carpet lab furniture. Traditionally, life sciences furnishing has had an isolated boutique approach. This impacts the overall client experience because each must manage their own overall project scope, utilize multiple vendors, and deal with increased project timelines.
bkm has broken away from the industry standard by becoming the only one-stop shop in this sector. All healthcare and life science client needs are under one umbrella with us. We provide high-tech furniture and accessories, workplace design and consulting, and a new collaborative lab showroom in San Diego. We are the first in our industry to pursue this side of the life sciences and healthcare furnishing business. Take a look at our Lab Spaces Look Book for more information.

bkm’s 800-square-foot laboratory furniture showroom is the first of its kind. Located in San Diego, it is a collaborative space for clients to design, educate, consult, and manage industry needs alongside our experts.
