Press Release
SAN DIEGO, CA—bkm OfficeWorks, Southern California’s leading provider of workplace solutions, is rebranding as Hyphn, marking a significant evolution in its commitment to integrated workplace solutions – strategy, technology, furniture and workplace change management. The transition reflects the company’s growth beyond office furniture into a fully connected consultancy, delivering seamless solutions—including consulting, AV technology, furniture design and installation, and prefabricated interior construction—that shape the future of work.
“By unifying our Portland and San Diego offices under one brand, we’re building a stronger, more cohesive presence to serve our clients better—no matter where they’re located,” said Hyphn Co-CEO, Matt Newstrom. “This Isn’t just about a name change—Hyphn represents a paradigm shift in how we think about the workplace. We’re offering a seamless, holistic suite of services to create spaces where people truly want to work,” added Shastan Jee, Hyphn Co-CEO.
In October 2023, Hyphn acquired bkm OfficeWorks, bringing together two industry leaders with a shared commitment to innovation and workplace transformation. By uniting under the Hyphn brand, the company is not only streamlining its resources but also reinforcing its core values so that every project benefits from an integrated approach. This transition strengthens Hyphn’s ability to provide workplace solutions that meet the evolving needs of businesses.
“Our clients can expect the same personalized service and high-quality solutions they’ve always received—only now with even greater resources and expertise behind them,” noted Jim Skidmore, President & General Manager.
In tandem with the rebrand, Hyphn is expanding its presence in San Diego with a new showroom in Mission Valley. Located at 350 Camino de la Reina, Suite 160, the space will open in Spring 2025 and serve as an interactive hub where clients can explore cutting-edge workplace solutions firsthand. Featuring industry-leading products, immersive technology, and collaborative workspaces, the showroom embodies Hyphn’s approach to truly holistic workplace delivery.
With roots dating back to 1933, Hyphn, a minority business enterprise, continues to serve a diverse range of clients, including corporations, educational institutions, and healthcare organizations. The company remains a Steelcase Premier Partner, delivering tailored workplace solutions that help businesses create environments where people thrive.
