Furniture Solutions That Respect Your Mission & Budget

Modern Business Interiors (MBI) partners with non-profit organizations, foundations, and community groups across St. Louis, Kansas City, and Missouri to plan, furnish, and install functional work environments that maximize impact while respecting limited budgets.
