Lance’s new corporate headquarters takes the almost 100 year old company, well-known for producing high quality food products, and showcases their “blue collar” attitude within a 21st century corporate backdrop. Represented are the most current aspects of the work environment, with break out areas for any sized group, teaming areas and lounge spaces for casual collaboration, on-site training facilities and product marketing display. The design also
pays homage to the company’s history, with etched glass panels displaying the brands and time line artwork highlighting innovation. Utilizing stained cherry panels, custom textured glass walls, a dynamic 2-story stair and
spa-like colors, the modern design is a compliment to Lance’s high-energy drive to the future. Photos by Jay Flynn, www.jflynnphoto.com
Lance, Inc. thoroughly enjoyed our experience working with Carrie Frye and the team at Studio Fusion on our Corporate Headquarters upfit. We are thrilled with the space and the flow of the design. The project was on-time
and on-budget, which is a true testament to the professionalism of Studio Fusion. This initial success led us to retain them to work on the renovation of the office building at our manufacturing facility here in Charlotte. All of us
at Lance have enjoyed our ongoing working relationship with this exceptionally creative firm.
