Where I Work: Kyle Hoff of Floyd
For this Where I Work, co-founder + CEO Kyle Hoff of Detroit-based Floyd takes us inside their new headquarters and work life.
Detroit-based Floyd launched in 2014 with the goal of creating quality furniture that was designed for the home and not to end up in a landfill in a couple of years. Over the years, the brand, co-founded by Kyle Hoff and Alex O’Dell, has become known for their practical, well-thought out designs that are minimal and easy-to-assemble. They started with simple yet clever table legs and have since expanded their catalog to furnish just about your entire house, with a dining table, platform bed, sofa, shelving, and more. Floyd recently finished construction on their newly expanded, 5755-square-foot headquarters in Detroit’s Eastern Market district, and for this month’s Where I Work, co-founder + CEO Kyle Hoff is taking us inside the space and his work life to see more.

What’s your studio/work environment like"
It?s an energized place with a lot of different things going on. The 34 person company is comprised of a product, marketing, customer experience, tech, and supply chain team that all work very closely together. Product is at the heart of what Floyd is and we like to think we?re building one of the most exciting places in the US for an industrial designer or engineer to come and work.
How is your space organized/arranged"
The office is pretty open and we like to think of it as a democratic spa...
