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.

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

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.
