Mark Fischer and Aaron Black Acquire Lane Office Furniture

The transition ends a three-decade ownership tenure by Burke, who will assist the new leadership team throughout the handoff. Fischer and Black intend to leverage their combined experience to deepen the firm’s partnership with MillerKnoll while expanding its Digital Component Construction capabilities through its FalkbuiltNY branch. For Black, who brings two decades of construction experience to the role, the move fulfills a long-held ambition to lead a business in the sector he has navigated for years.

Fischer described the initial nerves of ownership shifting into genuine enthusiasm as the pair began planning their roadmap for the company. The new principals aim to blend the firm’s century-old reputation with a more aggressive focus on client service and operational rigor. While acknowledging their status as newcomers compared to the company’s 1922 founding, both executives expressed a commitment to preserving the brand's heritage while positioning the team for long-term market disruption.
