Maple Key Madness Doesn’t Make it Easy to be Green

May 17, 2012 Bob Environment, Green Initiatives, University Furniture, University Loft Company

Here in Central Indiana, spring brings a rain of maple keys. You know, those weird maple tree seed-thingies. As kids, we called them “helicopters” or “whirlybirds” because they spin like a helicopter rotor when falling from the sky. I’m no horticulturist, but I understand that the rooted seeds have to undergo a couple of changes [...]

Tilting is Bad if You’re a Pinball Wizard, but Great if You’ve Got a Two-Position Chair from University Loft

May 11, 2012 Bob Comfort, Ergonomics, Innovation, Safety, University Furniture

Video games are great, but there’s just something about a pinball machine that can’t be beat. Maybe it’s the sheer size of the game.

Posters on the Dorm Room Wall? University Loft Has Outlasted Them All.

May 7, 2012 Bob Customization, Environment, Green Initiatives, Innovation, Quality, University Furniture, University Loft Company

This is just a guess, but I’ll bet at least 3 out of 10 college males in 1976 had a dorm room wall adorned by that famous poster of Farrah Fawcett in the red swimsuit. The poster was so popular (the biggest seller of all time) and so iconic that Farrah’s swimsuit was added to [...]

Better Ingredients. Better University Furniture. University Loft.

May 4, 2012 Bob Environment, Green Initiatives, University Furniture

As a marketing aficionado, I pay attention to such things as taglines, unique selling propositions, and how companies express their competitive advantages.

Better Pizza. Papa [...]

Luck’s On Our Side, but University Loft Furniture for Student Housing Has Always Been a Sure Thing
