If you are lucky enough to have such pieces in your workplace or at home, it is probably thanks to Jacques Gravel and his team at M\u00d6BEL: Quebec\u2019s certified distributor for Herman Miller and Framery furniture. Find out more about a company that brings convenience to the office, and even more home, during these unusual times.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u00a0met Mr. Gravel, the Chief Officer of M\u00d6BEL, twice: first over the phone, as you can imagine, and then by visiting M\u00d6BEL\u2019s showroom, located in Montreal\u2019s Mile-Ex district. If you\u2019ve never heard of M\u00d6BEL, this is surely because the company is not well known to the general public. In fact, it mainly sells to large companies like SAP, Autodesk, L\u2019Or\u00e9al and a multitude of other companies in various fields, including in the video game industry.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-41842\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Herman-Miller-The-Aeron-Chair.jpg\" alt=\"Herman-Miller---The-Aeron-Chair\" class=\"wp-image-41842\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Herman-Miller-The-Aeron-Chair.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Herman-Miller-The-Aeron-Chair-200x267.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Aeron Chair<br>Photo: Herman Miller<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was by participating in a Herman Miller market review in order to find a new distributor that Mr. Gravel and his associates, Jean-Philippe Dufour, President, and Renaud Perron, Vice-president of Operations, created the company in 2016. A distinctive feature that gives M\u00d6BEL an important competitive advantage is that, directly or through partners, M\u00d6BEL owns its own transportation, storage and installation companies, providing M\u00d6BEL with a holistic approach to the way it conducts its business. Being part of the same group, these companies represent close to one hundred employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Service and Customer Experience of M\u00d6BEL: The Key to Success<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-41841\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Herman-Miller-Office.jpg\" alt=\"Herman-Miller---Office\" class=\"wp-image-41841\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Herman-Miller-Office.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Herman-Miller-Office-200x113.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Herman Miller<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although sales and the quality of its product portfolio are what enables M\u00d6BEL to stand out from the competition, it is the company\u2019s exceptional customer service and experience that really set it apart: \u201cWe work with an array of stakeholders\u2014from architectural and designer firms, project management companies and construction businesses. Once everyone has done their job, we have to install our furniture, and installation is complex! For example, a project of 700 to 800 workstations like that of L\u2019Or\u00e9al involves chairs, tables, backsplashes, lounge areas, and more,\u201d explains Mr. Dany Gravel, Customer Experience Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even though the COVID-19 pandemic may have had devastating effects on some companies, it continues to offer an interesting challenge for Mr. Gravel since Herman Miller also has, according to him, the most beautiful portfolio of auxiliary products (lounges, rest area, coworking spaces, kitchens, etc.). These will be assets for companies looking to re-engage their employees in returning to their workspaces. \u201cIf during a day at the office, the desire to work at your workstation may seem monotonous, it will be possible to sit down near the window on a sofa or at table specifically designed for this type of task. This new approach has started to gain traction, and will amplify with the events of the last few months,\u201d added the CEO of M\u00d6BEL.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-41838\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" src=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Framery-2Q-Corporate.jpg\" alt=\"Framery-2Q---Corporate\" class=\"wp-image-41838\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Framery-2Q-Corporate.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Framery-2Q-Corporate-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Framery-2Q-Corporate-128x86.jpg 128w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Framery 2Q<br>Photo: Framery<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">No slowdown even with the COVID-19<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the past year and a half may have been difficult, this was not the case for the majority of M\u00d6BEL clients, including many on the Fortune&nbsp;500 list. These companies have a long-term vision of their company and think of their business\u2019s sustainability in the long run. \u201cThe institutions for which we started our projects have all continued their investments. With employees working remotely, the pandemic provided an opportunity for companies to update their furniture more easily and rethink the work methods as several offices were unoccupied. When they return, employees will find themselves in \u2018smarter\u2019 and improved spaces,\u201d says Mr. Gravel.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-41839\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" src=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Framery-2Q-and-One-Production-Environment.jpg\" alt=\"Framery-2Q-and-One----Production-Environment\" class=\"wp-image-41839\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Framery-2Q-and-One-Production-Environment.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Framery-2Q-and-One-Production-Environment-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Framery-2Q-and-One-Production-Environment-128x86.jpg 128w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Framery cabins in a production environment<br>Photo: Framery<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Framery: Perfect for private spaces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to Herman Miller, the young company also distributes products from the Framery brand, which develops booths for custom work. In fact, it\u2019s a perfect solution for anyone requiring privacy in an open space. Whether for one, two or more individuals, the ingenious concept provides options for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-41840\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Framery-One-Inspiration-Mood.jpg\" alt=\"Framery-One---Inspiration-Mood\" class=\"wp-image-41840\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Framery-One-Inspiration-Mood.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Framery-One-Inspiration-Mood-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Framery-One-Inspiration-Mood-128x86.jpg 128w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Framery One<br>Photo: Framery<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Former partner in an advertising agency, Mr. Gravel knows a lot about creativity and workspaces. He refers to the time when a majority started to go to cafes in order to change their environment. This movement has had a huge influence on the renewal of the office layout, which today is reminiscent of living spaces rather than workspaces. Indeed, the mood you like in your favourite cafe or public place, M\u00d6BEL and Herman Miller can recreate it for you. The choice for performance chairs and furniture is exponential, which makes it possible to develop office solutions better suited to the new reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Curious to find what may suit your needs?
