July 2011 - It’s the right thing to do. Over the past 80 years, we’ve built a life around that simple statement. It’s the way we treat our customers, the way we build our products, the way we care for our community and the way we look at the world. As part of our sustainable commitment, we chose to pursue GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certification. In 2009, we received certification of our Vision series. By 2011, we’ve received certification of all the 4,000 plus standard models offered in our JSI and Community brands. |
Investing in the environment and our future is always top priority at Jasper Group. “Reducing hazardous chemical emissions was a primary focus, an effort directed toward long term responsibility, not just a temporary fix,” stated Greg Painter, Director of Sustainability at Jasper Group. “By investing in our DuraTex top coat, we are able to receive this prestigious certification.” JSI and Community apply DuraTex on all exposed surfaces, without additional cost or upcharge, providing the same beautiful furniture customers have come to value and expect. |
“While certification of all products in both JSI and Community brands is a major accomplishment, this is only one step toward offering products that minimize environmental impact,” says Mike Elliott, President and CEO of Jasper Group. “We do not chase or pretend to be every shade of ‘green’ but endeavor to make the positive impact that a sustainable wood manufacturer can. We will continue searching, evaluating and implementing practices that benefit our customers and minimize impact on the environment.” |

June 2011 - Fashion. Fun. Prizes. Press. Color. Cocktails. Buzz. You name it - 3-111 Jasper Group’s space was the place to be. From a friendly hello at the door, new product introductions, bold colors, oversized graphics, giveaways, and signature cocktail party, the energy and excitement was beyond expectations. |

March 2011 - Scalable. Functional. Adaptable. Auvy by JSI was designed to coordinate with our entire casegoods offering, while bringing high function and design to modern conferencing. The table introduces the concept of enhancing existing furniture with all of the features and aesthetics of this multi-functional table; this includes JSI’s 9 casegoods collections from traditional to contemporary. So pick the look and style you like and add the capabilities of Auvy for your conference space. |
A beam running beneath the table top lengthwise provides maximum support and stability, brings scalability by allowing the bases to be positioned directly over the power source, and also houses the audio-visual components. The optional AV has three power-data ports enclosed in two glass sections. Connect your equipment, turn out the lights and let Auvy work while you present. Tops are available in laminate or veneer in three shapes ranging from a 42 by 96 to a 54 by 264. Bases are specifiable in JSI’s 16 standard wood finishes or five color finishes. Optional nickel, silver or black metal trim aesthetically compliments the beautifully crafted hardwood table frame. Designed by Jasper Group Design Team. |

March 2011 - Sculpted. Linear. Elegant. Inspiration for Moda by JSI came from the desire for a visually simplistic guest chair. Add mixed materials and clean linear architectural details, and the result is a design with a beautifully sculpted wood back and a full range of coordinating seating to complete the series. Moda’s arcing back compliments the curves of the upholstered seat and distinguishes this from the other more linear components of the design. Rear leg and frame foundations of metal skillfully accent the wood back and leg elements. Using visible chamfers to bevel from front to rear, the arms seem to twist creating a uniquely interesting detail. |
Guest seating is offered in both wood and fully upholstered back styles, while fully upholstered single, double and triple seat lounge models round out Moda’s offering. Visually related by their distinctive characteristics, Moda’s seating collection is perfect specificed separately or together. Taking your eye from shapely curve to elegant line, this chair accentuates spaces from guest to conference to lounge. Designed by John Stafford / Chris Carter Design, LLC. |

May 2010 - Jasper Group and its brands, JSI, Community, and Klem are leaping forward with both feet. Whether or not you have seen us before, make sure we’re on your list this year. If for no other reason than to see the coordinated, signature styled attire by our very own, Mike Elliott. |
“We strived to achieve an industrial look that takes our visitors on a journey back to the nuts and bolts of making quality furniture built to stand the test of time. A walk through our showroom reminds one of the timeless beauty of furniture that is caringly hand-crafted,” said Ashley Werner, Director of Marketing. Looking through our front window you will see the bold new finish collection bringing a fresh twist to our classic Boston series, mirrored with colorful graphics accentuating the retro industrial theme telling our story. As you navigate through the long, narrow space, the center isle displays our refreshed JSI casegoods series. And whether you veer to the right or the left, you’ll see our breadth of offering by each brand. A glass enclosed private meeting space completes the showroom. |
We’ve been working really hard the past few months; we’ve been making some noise; and all the while having fun and showing some spunk. “Our presence at NeoCon is key in all that we are working to accomplish” stated Company President Mike Elliott. The overall atmosphere exudes both charm and excitement. With our distinctive personality, new branding, and six new products, you won’t want to miss the new exhibitor displaying in space 3-111. |

February 2010 – VALUE. ATTITUDE. FLEXIBILITY. FOCUS. SOLUTIONS. INTEGRITY. Principles not just on paper, but principles that Jasper Group employees have lived by since opening their doors over 80 years ago. These same values provided the inspiration for the company’s new look. “We knew we needed a graphic representation of the attributes of our people, our business, our products, our philosophies. We wanted to communicate through our logos what people experience when they visit us in Jasper,” said Ashley Werner, Marketing Director. “From the fun atmosphere and energetic attitudes of our people to our uncompromising position on sustainable production and design, our new logos reflect the forward thinking value-centric way we operate.” |
While most companies have battled through this tough economy by cutting programs, eliminating jobs, and halting growth plans, Jasper Group with its family of brands, JSI, Community and Klem, has been busy building onto its strategy ways to become a total solutions provider for the furniture industry. As market momentum began to slow late in 2008, the company saw this as an opportune time to reorganize, realign, and come out strong. “We saw this incredible opportunity when maximizing the strengths of each brand to provide a complete package offering – a total solution with one seamless point of contact,” continued Werner. “To convey this, our graphics needed to visually relate so people know our brands are part of a whole.” |
