   Rethinking "Stuff" & The Business of "Stuff". Profits + Purpose = Better

   We all get it: how do we keep ourselves, our work and our world going in harmony. Ok...how do we get back to harmony? For +35 years Interface.com's Chief Design Officer Chip DeGrace has been deep in the weeds and traveling the entire world trying to answer that question. From the bowels of factories to shop floors to the board rooms of the biggest corporations in the world, Interface has become known as one of a handful of companies actively trying to figure things out. And what's crazier still, they're a flooring company. Chip is beyond smart, he gets right to genius territory in that he never stops asking for better answers and trying to solve the biggest problems today and tomorrow.
