| November 12, 2008 Office Resources hosts the debut of Nucraft's award winning products |
On November, 12 2008, over 40 members of the Boston A&D community were part of a special social cocktail reception hosted by Office Resources, Nucraft and McGlynn Associates. The reception was held to debut the first Boston installation of the Nucraft Tavola Conference Collection in conjunction with the award-winning Neos Casegood product (NeoCon 2008 Gold Award).
"Both the Neos and the Tavola products are representative of the tremendous strides Nucraft made in well-designed product," commented Kevin Barbary, Office Resources Principal.
Immediately following the viewing was an IIDA CEU accredited presentation featuring industry renowned designer Mark Goetz. The lecture, called, "The Art of Furniture Design," described the history, process and educational sharing of Mark's 20 year career as a furniture designer and professor.
Also, in attendance that evening was Bill Keller, Vice President of Sales and Customer Service at Nucraft. "I thought the event was an exceptional combination of design education through the CEU accredited presentation by Mark Goetz, the introduction of Neos and Tavola two award-winning products from Nucraft and finally networking and great conversation over a glass of wine," said Keller.
"Mark Goetz, who was a wealth of knowledge through his many years of industrial design work and teaching provided an interesting view of how he and many of his Pratt University design students find inspiration for their designs," said Keller.
In his 20 year design career, Mark has been responsible for numerous collections of seating furniture pieces with a classically modern appeal. In addition to his professional career, Mark has been an industrial design professor at the Pratt Institute for 14 years.

| November 5, 2008 Office Resources hosts the Boston debut of the new Tayco "Up" product line |
Office Resources hosted about 25 guests last week from the Boston A&D market in their Boston showroom to preview the award winning Tayco "Up" product line. Comfort and aesthetics are key factors that allow the Tayco "Up" to remain versatile, functional, and attractive. Joining us at the event that evening was the well-known Canadian designer of the product, Dakota Kasdorf. Dakota's approach begins with the simple philosophy that everyone has the right to be happy and that the objects we interact with on a daily basis should contribute to our happiness.
With Tayco's patented and award-winning "Up" post-and-beam system, Dakota created something that breaks with the utilitarian aesthetic that defines most of the current market. Up is beautiful from a distance, but also stands up to close contact and exploration. It achieves a working balance of comfort and visual appeal.
Office Resources was proud to host this reception as well as to represent this product, "We are pleased to be the exclusive dealer for the Tayco "Up" product in the Boston marketplace," commented OR Principal Kevin Barbary. "The product offering is a fresh change to the conventional cubicle."
