CHICAGO, IL, Aug, 7, 2019 – Ware Malcomb,
an award-winning international design firm, today announced construction is
complete on the new gsf Innovation Center located at 322 South Green Street
in the West Loop neighborhood of Chicago.
Ware Malcomb provided interior
architecture and design services for the project. The project has been awarded

honors projects for their exemplary design and innovation.
Founded in 1947, Golden
State Foods is one of the largest diversified suppliers to the food service industry.
The company’s new Innovation Center serves as a place to gather and experience

Inspired by the energy of
its West Loop location, the design team implemented a concept called “The
Chicago Kitchen Table” to bring the project to life.
Like the kitchen table of a home, the space is designed to serve as the heart and soul that connects Golden State Foods’ products and their restaurant partners. Classic, timeless materials were utilized throughout the space including wood, glass, brick, black iron and concrete.

“Our goal was to create a
space that fuses Chicago’s West Loop neighborhood culture with Golden State
Foods’ trusted, global brand,” said Dawn Riegel, Director, Interior
Architecture & Design of Ware Malcomb’s Chicago and Oak Brook offices.
“It was important to combine a hospitality feel with a world-class culinary and office space that reflects the innovation and values of Golden State Foods.”
