GF Fireproofing Company.
A manufacturer of fireproof building products, the Company almost immediately shifted its specialized manufacturing energies to the office furniture industry. By 1910, with the introduction of the first production 4-drawer steel vertical file, GF had become a leader in the metal office furniture industry.
Throughout its impressive history, characterized by product innovations, GF has refined its product design and metal fabricating capabilities, using its expertise to accomplish a number of firsts in office furniture products for traditional, contemporary, and open-office environments.
Davis Allen
Davis Allen joined Skidmore, Owing and Merrill (SOM) in 1950 as a junior architectural designer. He had hoped to find a secure job where he could expect to stay at least five years. He actually had found a home.
In the intervening forty years, and since 1965 with the rank of Associate Partner, Senior Interior Designer, Allen collaborated with three generations of SOM partners. Semi-retired since 1985, he has continued to act as a mentor, design critic, and trusted contributor to this multi disciplined architectural firm whose influence has been felt worldwide.
