It is part of a larger collection of coffee tables, available in square and rectangular versions in various sizes and finishes.

                   Minimalist design combined with the highest quality raw materials is undoubtedly a hallmark of Prof.

Prof Office was born in 1995 from experience in the furniture industry, a family-run industrial reality that designs elegant office furniture systems, deeply rooted in the northeastern Italian furniture district. Over these twenty years, the company's economic development and growth path has allowed it to look at the international market, contributing to the dissemination of Italian design and the highest quality worldwide. By consulting architects and designers, Prof has strengthened its identity and expanded its product range.
Starting from stylish execution collections, it then developed operational systems, reception solutions, and conference rooms, up to partition walls. Today, this enables offering holistic and tailored furnishing solutions for every workplace.

HEADQUARTERS

The headquarters of Prof, along with the plant and offices, is located in Falzè di Piave, in the province of Treviso, 70 kilometers north of Venice, in one of the most important industrial furniture districts in Europe. It covers a total area of approximately 8,700 sqm, of which 3,600 sqm are covered. The facility, specialized in manufacturing office furniture, is equipped for work in the wood department, assembly, packaging, warehousing, and shipping of finished products. The main building houses executive, sales, technical, and administrative offices, conference rooms for client meetings, and a showroom of over 400 sqm, showcasing all collections of luxury office furniture. In 2017, an expansion of over 1,800 sqm was completed, of which 640 sqm are dedicated to production, 330 sqm to new offices, and 830 sqm to a new showroom.

PRODUCTION

The brand manufactures exclusively at the Falzè di Piave plant in Treviso province and always bases its identity on maximum respect for people, the land, and materials. Strong local roots and innate "know-how," which has evolved also thanks to new technologies, have allowed Prof to confirm and solidify its success by continuing to combine tradition and innovation, adapting to new socio-economic changes. Prof's production organization is "just in time," which ensures reliability, inventory reduction, and increased quality and customer service. The entire Prof network operates mainly within Italy, primarily in the local manufacturing district, where most raw material and semi-finished supplier companies are located. All products are designed and made entirely in Italy to guarantee a standard of constant excellence.

DESIGN

At Prof's factory, every piece of furniture results from an understanding of the changing dynamics of workplaces. Research has always been a strategic element of the company's development policy, expressed through an internal Design Department working closely with external designers and continuously updated with technological and legislative developments. Prof models are entirely designed and manufactured in Italy, fully compliant with European safety and health standards. For this reason, Prof collections stand out for their high design, ergonomics, and functionality.

SERVICES

DESIGN CONSULTING
Prof provides comprehensive design and consulting services, including analysis of client requirements, layout studies with targeted and personalized furnishing proposals, along with technical drawings and rendering.

CUSTOMIZATION

The professor can propose and carry out personalized services on standard production models: from manufacturing oversized components, through sourcing new materials and finishes, to producing samples and prototypes. Thanks to their versatile manufacturing capabilities, the Professor has developed specialized knowledge in non-standard consumable materials, handling projects from small and medium-sized to exceptional personalized creations.

POST-WARRANTY SERVICE

Thanks to the UNI EN ISO 9001: 2008 certification system for managing non-conforming products and claims, the Professor maintains constant control over issues encountered during assembly and use. The company provides technical support and after-sales services, including full information, modifications, and repairs.

BESPOKE PRODUCTS

The Professor’s high manufacturing flexibility allows, in addition to series production, the realization of custom-defined projects tailored to specific client needs. The Design Department can support clients or designers in developing and producing unique products, both functional and aesthetic, with completely individual finishes.
Careful advice at every stage: targeted design, with meticulous material selection and attention to detail, culminating in the construction process step-by-step, up to final installation.
Production is fully customized to individual requirements.

ENVIRONMENT

In response to increasing international market competition by improving customer satisfaction and loyalty, and streamlining internal production processes, the Professor obtained ISO 9001: 2008 certification in 2012. Adopting a quality management system is a strategic decision for the Professor, enabling more concrete business goals. In a world constantly seeking quality and increasingly sensitive to ecological issues, the Professor emphasizes maximum experience in designing and manufacturing office furniture with respect for the environment. From carefully selected raw materials, through the entire processing and packaging process, to disposal, everything aims to protect health and save energy.

As a result, the Professor uses certified E1 panels in accordance with European regulations on formaldehyde emissions, both for raw materials and laminates.
Each panel is then marked by the Eco Panel Consortium, ensuring that semi-finished products are produced through the reuse of wood in the manufacturing process, which does not involve tree felling.

Obtaining the ISO 14001: 2004 certification in 2012 confirms the Professor’s commitment to establishing their own environmental management system, regulating the impact of production activities on the environment, and striving for continuous improvement. In 2015, during the same period as the company’s twenty-year anniversary, the Professor introduced a new green logo to affirm and identify their commitment to sustainable environmental development as an integral part of their operations and growth process. In 2017, the company reaffirmed its “eco-friendly” strategy, emphasizing their values of “sustainability” and “responsibility,” and switched to a new electricity provider (Dolomiti Energia) sourcing 100% from renewable sources.

ECO PACKAGING

The Professor continues to invest in a production system capable of minimizing environmental impact. In 2016, they invested in a modern packaging machinery park using biodegradable cardboard, enabling customized packaging training. Optimization tailored to specific products allows for significant reductions in packaging costs, storage, and waste disposal. To improve waste management, several separate collection points for post-production waste were established, with all waste stored in special containers and subsequently recycled.
