Gladiator brand was challenged by its parent company Whirlpool Corporation to create a suite of office products that would inspire collaboration, spur productivity, withstand repetitive use and adapt to changing needs of the user.

"We are proud to bring an innovative office furniture to Whirlpool Corporation that is flexible, complements current architectural designs and can stand the test of time."
