History

One Workplace opened in 1925 in downtown San Jose, California as a family-owned bookstore. Its original name was Lindsay’s. Soon the company began to sell office supplies. When the Ferrari family purchased partial ownership, its name became Lindsay Ferrari and the company transitioned to selling office furniture.[1] The Ferrari’s acquired complete ownership of Lindsay Ferrari and the company’s name became One Workplace.

One Workplace works with several vertical markets, including education, healthcare, corporate offices, government, bioscience, and financial institutions. In November 2008, the company launched two separate divisions: Synergy 4 Health[2] and Architectural Environments. Synergy 4 Health focuses on the healthcare sector and Architectural Environments sells movable walls, floors, lighting, and acoustical treatments.
