About Blackburn Young

Built around the work. Here for what follows.

BYOS is a Vancouver workplace company bringing furniture, architectural interiors and project delivery together. From early planning through Day Two, our role is to keep the work connected and the people involved informed.

One connected responsibility

A workplace is a series of decisions. We keep them connected.

Good outcomes depend on more than selecting the right product. They depend on understanding the plan, coordinating the details and staying accountable as the work moves from specification to site.

We work with clients, designers, contractors and manufacturers to carry those decisions forward with clarity. The result is a more complete view of the workplace and greater continuity from planning through installation.

Our story

Establishedin Vancouver.Evolvingwith theworkplace.

Blackburn Young Office Solutions was established in Vancouver in 2003 by Michael Blackburn and Derek Young. What began as a commercial office furniture dealership has grown alongside the needs of our clients—expanding into architectural interiors and a broader approach to workplace delivery.

The business has evolved, but the way we work has remained personal: understand the project, give thoughtful advice, communicate clearly and stay close to the work from beginning to end.

How we work

Detailed work.
Human relationships.

Workplace projects move through many hands. We make a point of being approachable, direct and available to the people making decisions and the people carrying them out.

That means listening before recommending, explaining tradeoffs clearly and remaining accountable after the installation is complete.
