dynamic environments
CHICAGO, June 24,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- PARIC Holdings, a family of
companies dedicated to shaping the future of construction and
design, today announced the acquisition of Chicago-based Corporate Concepts, one of the
Midwest's largest contract furniture dealers. Through this
strategic acquisition, Corporate Concepts will become part of
PARIC's I3 Group, which also includes Chicago-based Interior Investments and
Plymouth, Minnesota-based
Intereum, acquired by PARIC in 2022 and 2023, respectively.
Together, the three companies - each recognized as a leading
MillerKnoll Certified Dealer - create one innovation-focused,
full-solution provider with cross-industry expertise in
furnishings, walls, and audio-visual products.
"The experience Corporate Concepts brings perfectly complements
our core competencies in workplace integration, and unifying its
offering with those of Interior Investments and Intereum unlocks an
incredible amount of value for our current and future clients,"
said Matt Quinn, CEO of I3 Group.
"The workplace has taken on a new role in employees' lives. This
acquisition expands our capabilities as we meet demand from
organizations and their people to guide and define a new work
experience – one that leverages technology, furnishings, and
surroundings to create progressive environments that focus on
flexibility, health and wellness, and inclusion."

headquarters, professional service organizations, and
industrialized construction via its partnership with DIRTT,
Corporate Concepts curates full-floorplate solutions for corporate
environments. The team has extensive experience in spec suites and
building amenities, as well as educational and healthcare settings.
Corporate Concepts and Interior Investments are Chicagoland's two
largest MillerKnoll Certified Dealers, each having decades-long
histories with the legacy brands – Corporate Concepts as a Knoll
dealer and Interior Investments as a Herman
Miller dealer – prior to Herman
Miller acquiring Knoll in July
2021.
"From the very beginning, our vision was to provide tailored,
innovative office solutions for working professionals of today and
future generations," said Jennifer
Cusack, co-founder and CEO of Corporate Concepts.
Larry Zerante, co-founder and
president of Corporate Concepts added, "In joining with Interior
Investments and Intereum as part of I3 Group, we are advancing our
mission to ensure employees are empowered to get work done artfully
and effectively by providing them with environments that keep pace
with the evolving role of the workplace."
Corporate Concepts will continue to operate under its existing
name for 90 days, then will join Interior Investments and Intereum
as one unified company. Ryan
Zerante, Corporate Concepts vice president of sales and
operations, will take on the role of executive vice president
within I3 Group's Illinois
marketplace, assuring Corporate Concepts' clients of continuity and
ongoing dedication to excellence.
"Our true strength is in our people and the integrated workplace
