Glaholt Bowles is a boutique construction law firm with high standards and an extensive client list. Verve tailored the furniture package to each lawyer, while the reception and boardroom set the tone from the elevator bank onward.
A reception, boardroom, and client journey that conveys trust, discretion, and a senior partner’s taste without tipping into stuffy.
Each lawyer’s office curated individually — custom wardrobe cabinets for suits and robes, specific desk configurations, chosen bookshelves.
A single material language carried from the reception desk to the back office — no one piece looked like it came from a different file.
We worked with each lawyer individually — sizing desks to the way they actually practice, specifying bookshelves for the case binders they keep close, and building custom wardrobe cabinets for suits and court robes. Every private office left feeling tailored to the occupant rather than dropped from a standard.
“We kept the furniture direction cohesive, then adjusted the mix of work surfaces, storage, visitor seating, and shared settings around how each area would actually be used.”

Task chairs were selected for long-day support, with adjustments that help users maintain a neutral seated posture rather than simply looking good. Height-adjustable desks make it easy to move between sitting and standing, while the workstation system can be reconfigured as team needs change.
Apricot supplied the project’s workstation-level furniture — desks, task chairs, and storage pedestals — along with the boardroom seating. Exclusive through Verve in Toronto, the line gave the project a consistent commercial-grade foundation with strong value and long-term flexibility.

The client-facing touchpoints were specified as one interconnected story. A reception desk in matched walnut. A boardroom table sized for the firm’s biggest mediation, surrounded by ergonomic conference chairs designed to adapt to the sitter’s posture. A bistro coffee counter with lounge seating for informal meetings. One finish palette, one designer’s hand.
Start with how your firm actually works. Verve will help turn those needs into individual offices tailored to each lawyer and a consistent client experience from reception to boardroom.
