Celebrating the Women Who Keep the World Moving

March marks Women's History Month, and at BFI, we're taking this opportunity to celebrate the incredible women who make our company, culture, and community thrive. From our talented employees to the visionary designers who inspire us, women play a vital role in shaping our industry while creating beautiful, functional spaces.

Furniture Trailblazers

This month, we're celebrating our internal team and the extraordinary women who have pioneered furniture design. Names like Ray Eames, Greta Magnusson Grossman, Tove Kindt-Larsen, Charlotte Perriand, Anni Albers, Eva Zeisel, Eileen Gray, and Florence Knoll represent a legacy of innovation, pushing boundaries and creating timeless pieces that continue to inspire.

Proud Partners of Women Empowerment?

BFI is proud to be a certified Woman Business Enterprise (WBE) as a symbol of our commitment to diversity and inclusion. Our President and CEO, Kate Kerpchar, leads a diverse management team, with women making up 57.5% of our total ownership, shaping our values and driving our success.

Diversity Driving Everything We Do

At BFI, we believe fostering a diverse and inclusive environment promotes personal growth and development for all. We actively collaborate with female designers, architects, and other professionals, and we encourage future generations to pursue careers in this exciting field.

As we celebrate Women's History Month, we also want to highlight the importance of supporting other WBEs. The 2024 WBENC National Conference, held from March 19-22, offers a unique platform to connect with diverse suppliers and build strong business partnerships. We encourage you to join us at this event: https://www.wbenc.org/conference/?

We're proud to be part of a movement that empowers women and celebrates their achievements. As we continue to grow, we remain committed to diversity, inclusion, and creating a space where everyone can thrive.
