About Us
“To create inspiring spaces while focusing on the well being of our community and the environment.“
Office Space Design was started in 2000 in Mankato, Minnesota by Dain Fisher. Dain began the business by selling and installing used commercial furnishings. As the business grew, employees were added along with a broad selection of furniture options. Now, Office Space Design has a 6000sq ft showroom in Mankato. The furniture options now available were chosen to fit any budget. Offering new, used and re-manufactured products is the key to Office Space Design’s success. Office Space Design has expanded to become a full circle contract office design, furnishing, and installation company. Other services include moving, ergonomic training, and down to earth business.

Services
We meet with you to learn what will best suit your work environment needs. We discuss the tasks performed in the space, the type of furniture desired, and the overall appearance of the office. From there, our designers put the information into action with a custom design and proposal. Once the design and proposal are finalized our experienced project managers facilitate the project through complete installation. Once you’ve had time to evaluate the new office, we’ll call and ensure that all of your equipment is properly functioning and that you are completely satisfied with our work.
