kubik Maltbie Inc. moved into its new facility at 7000 Commerce Parkway in Mount Laurel, New Jersey. The single story building provides us with 60,000
sq. ft. of offices and production space. Our design intent was to create a industry loft style finish, with a mixture of natural raw building materials such as
rough sawn timber, stained concrete and exposed brick throughout the open plan layout. The office furniture is based on the same style and design as
Toronto’s furniture, but with materials that meet the office design. We are still settling into our new space and adjusting to the open plan concept. It’s a
new way of working for many people, but the clean look , increase of space and improved production facilities will provide more opportunity to create
and deliver fresh new ideas that are beyond imagination®!                                                                                                                 BREAKING NEWS

We also used guerilla marketing techniques at the show to enhance our message. We dropped large puzzle pieces (the same as we used to build our
booth) around the exhibit hall in random areas each day. Each puzzle piece had a sign attached to it that read“HELLO, I’M LOST. I’m a piece of the kubik                 Fall 2010

them into a 20' x 20' space.
