50 Years of Design, Innovation, and Purpose

From the earliest trading floors to today’s mission-critical environments, SBFI has shaped how the world works, creating intelligent furniture solutions built to last, adapt, and inspire.

Where it All Began

SBFI began in 1976 with a simple conviction: that thoughtful design can transform how people work. From our founding, we have engineered products that create the ideal balance between people, technology, and real estate. For nearly fifty years, that dedication has shaped every decision we make and has guided our innovations, our partnerships, and the environments we help our clients bring to life.

Then to Now

Since inventing the trading desk, SBFI has continually redefined what a high-performance workspace can be. Today, our global team partners with clients across finance, control rooms, and mission-critical environments to solve complex challenges with clarity and precision. As work evolves, we evolve with it by expanding our capabilities, advancing our engineering, and designing adaptable solutions that meet the demands of tomorrow.

Our Commitment to Sustainability

From our founding, SBFI has designed products that last. Many of our desks are still in use after 20 years, which is proof that longevity is the most authentic form of sustainability. We continue that commitment today through responsible material choices, certified environmental processes, transparent reporting, and an industry-leading warranty.

We are proud to be ISO 9001 & 14001 certified, a member of the U.S. Green Building Council, and recognized by EcoVadis for sustainability excellence, helping our clients achieve LEED and BREEAM goals around the world.

Thinking Ahead

At SBFI, innovation never stands still. We focus on what we do best: creating products at the forefront of performance and technology. SBFI’s commitment to research and development is at the heart of who we are. This dedication to reinvestment in research, engineering and design is unrivaled in our industry. Every detail is tested. From strength and ergonomics to thermal efficiency and environmental impact, to ensure our products consistently out perform expectations.
