Design Options Corporate History
Design Options was founded in March of 1981 by Jerry and Audrey Messerman.
Their purpose was to design office tables and peripheral furniture products
to support an emerging technology – computers.
In the late 1980’s, when the pace of economic growth drove the need for office
workspace expansion, the Messerman’s developed a flexible desking system that
could be arranged in a variety of configurations. It quickly outdated the traditional
panel dependent systems that were cumbersome and could not react quickly to change.
Today, Design Options desking systems consist of a wide range of worksurface choices,
storage products, and screen systems that divide space.
In July 2007, Design Options was purchased by Design Options Holdings. Alan Robins,
CEO for the holding company, and Bruce Robins, President of Design Options Holdings,
jointly provide the leadership for Design Options. Their goal is to continue the
business principles that guided the company founders – the willingness and ability
to satisfy customer's needs with quality products, delivered on time, guaranteed for
life, and supported with outstanding customer service, both before and after the sale.
