<a name="heading-0"><h3>When we were looking for the right furniture to outfit the studio, I spent many hours over many weeks trying to find the right solution.</h3></a>
<p>And then I discovered <a href="http://issdesigns.com/">Infinite Storage Solutions</a>, based in San Clemente, CA. I knew I had finally found the right company, and within 20 minutes I was in the car, driving down to see the product in their showroom.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-688" title="Standing Height Desk" src="http://www.studiofluid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/dsc_2418.jpg" alt="Standing Height Desk for cutting, drawing and printing"></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-688" title="Desk and Storage by ISS Designs" src="http://www.studiofluid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/img_8654.jpg" alt="L-shaped Desk by ISS Designs"></p>
<p>ISS is based on a modular system of sturdy extruded aluminum rails, which—as their name suggests—can be customized for an infinite number of useful configurations. We're thrilled with the L-shaped desk and standing height work station, for the function as well as the attention to detail and minimal lines of the ISS system.</p>
<p>I also love the product is made right here in the USA, and that they're a family owned and run business. In fact, during my visit, John and Mona they invited me to join them for pizza in the break room with their staff and kids. It's always nice to meet people who are creating their own opportunities through innovation—and thriving.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-688" title="SketchUp Model" src="http://www.studiofluid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/sketchup01.jpg" alt="SketchUp Model provided by ISS"></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-688" title="ISS Designs in Google SketchUp" src="http://www.studiofluid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/sketchup02.jpg" alt="See your purchase in the context of your room"></p>
<p>ISS actually custom designs your furniture in Google <a href="http://sketchup.google.com/intl/en/">SketchUp</a> so you can evaluate in 3D before purchasing. You can even drop their SketchUp files into your floor plan and see how it will fit into your space.</p>
<p>Their customer service is top-notch too. (Thanks, Kristy!) What else could you ask for? If you're in the market for a workspace for your small business, or if you have a live/work space like we do, you would be wise to give <a href="http://www.issdesigns.com/">ISS Designs</a> a closer look. </p>
<p>And if you're headed to the <a href="http://www.dwellondesign.com">Dwell on Design</a> Expo in L.A. this month, make sure you stop by the ISS <a href="http://www.dwellondesign.com/index.php?option=com_content&#038;view=section&#038;layout=blog&#038;id=12&#038;Itemid=244">exhibitor booth</a>, and tell them Studiofluid sent ya.</p>]]></content:encoded>
