Movable Walls Make All The Difference
Movable walls have made significant inroads into new office design and for good reason: they let in more light, reduce physical barriers and help create an open, accessible space. Some studies suggest that employee satisfaction increases with fewer physical barriers – such as traditional walls. Light and airy spaces make staff feel comfortable and even more productive.
“Movable glass walls are like modular furniture,” says Mitchell Cohen, Dealer Principal, Workspace Group (WSG). “Clients love them for their flexibility and the minimal amount of disruption when installed.
“In today’s modern workforce where company size can change at a moment’s notice, movable walls allow for the ongoing flow of business.”
Guru Gets Walls
Guru Studios is an industry leader in animated storytelling. With a client base that includes Disney, Netflix, Mattel and TVO, this busy office could afford little downtime during their downtown Toronto office renovation. X-Design, an interior design and project management firm, chose to work with Workspace Group (WSG) after learning about Muraflex movable walls during a lunch and learn session. X-Design was eager to work with a local dealer that had experience with a reliable supplier and experienced installers.
“We had recently worked with X-Design on a large furniture project with AT&T,” said MItchell Cohen, so they knew they could rely on our expertise and our suppliers. Muraflex is a great company to work with and we had several successful installations with them. We knew their MIMO wall system would be the right choice for this client.”

Happy Client = Success
Guru ordered Muraflex’s MIMO Offset Glazed Partitions with a clear anodized finish, which included a sliding door. “We had to accommodate a very fast schedule,” says Nubia Vazquez Ohlmier, Account Manager, Workspace Group (WSG). “We completed the job, from start to finish in five weeks; and that included two weeks over the Christmas shutdown.
“Thanks to our strong partnership with Muraflex, we were able to make this happen.”
“The client was very happy with the product and especially with the installation team,” said Jennifer Fouquette, Project Designer, X-Design.
