A tasteful desk lamp for a marble office - Prof

The GRACE collection stems from a broad path of research and innovation, which could be described as a “total life office,” focused on proposals for new products and accessories to create a coordinated and refined atmosphere for contemporary work environments.
In the name of timeless elegance, GRACE is a collection of lamps with simple and rigorous lines, enriched with surprising combinations of noble materials and refined details. Geometric and noble elements combined: a hand-blown glass sphere, balanced on a metal brass-finished base, resting on a round marble or metal base. An essential yet decorative design that fits perfectly into any environment dedicated not only to office spaces but also to home and contract spaces, with maximum flexibility for customization.
The collection is entirely produced in Italy using high-quality materials and traditional manufacturing methods, ensuring that the final product features excellent craftsmanship.

The collection consists of two models available in table, floor, pendant, and wall versions. Both share materials, finishes, and details: a blown glass diffuser in the shape of a sphere, available in clear, tinted, and acid-etched white versions; a round base made of Carrara white marble and black Marquina marble or painted metal in white, black, dark blue, oriental red, curry, and copper; details in brushed brass that enhance the frame.
Model GRACE No. 1 features a simple bridge in one size for the table version and two sizes for the other versions.
Model GRACE No. 2 features a support with an arm in the table and floor versions, with three arms and twelve suspended spheres, and a single support in the wall version. The collection offers maximum freedom to combine base finishes, frame, and glass diffuser to create custom solutions
to interpret different styles and environments.

       Original design combined with the highest quality materials is undoubtedly a hallmark of the Prof brand.

Prof Office was founded in 1995 from experience in the furniture industry, a family business rooted in the industrial reality of northeastern Italy, designing elegant office furniture systems deeply rooted in the Italian furniture district. Over the past twenty years, the company's economic growth and development path have allowed it to look at the international market, contributing to the spread of Italian design and the highest quality worldwide. By consulting with architects and designers, Prof has strengthened its identity and expanded its product range.
Starting with stylish execution collections, it then developed operational systems, reception solutions, and conference rooms, up to partition walls. Today, this allows 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 Europe's most important furniture industrial districts. 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 woodwork, assembly, packaging, warehousing, and logistics of finished products. The main headquarters houses executive, sales, technical, and administrative offices, conference rooms for client meetings, and an exhibition showroom of over 400 sqm, showcasing all collections of {luxurious|exclusive|prestigious} office furniture. In 2017, an expansion of over 1,800 sqm was completed, with 640 sqm dedicated to production, 330 to new offices, and 830 to a new showroom.

MANUFACTURING

DESIGN

At the Prof factory, every element of equipment stems from an understanding of the changing dynamics of workplaces. Research has always been a strategic element of the company's development policy and is expressed through an internal Design Department that works closely with external designers and is continuously updated with technological and legislative developments. Prof models are fully designed and manufactured in Italy, in full compliance with European safety and hygiene 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

Prof can offer and execute personalized services on standard production models: from manufacturing oversized components, sourcing new materials and finishes, to creating samples and prototypes. Thanks to its versatile production capabilities, Professor has developed specialized knowledge in non-standard consumable materials, from small and medium projects to excellent personalized creations.

AFTER-SALES SERVICE

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

BESPOKE PRODUCTS

Prof’s high production flexibility allows, in addition to series manufacturing, the realization of custom-designed 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 fully personalized finishes. Careful advice at every stage of the process: targeted design, meticulous material selection, and attention to detail, culminating in construction step-by-step until final installation.
Production is entirely tailored to individual needs.

ENVIRONMENT

In response to increasing international market competition by improving customer satisfaction and loyalty, and rationalizing internal production processes, Professor obtained ISO 9001: 2008 certification in 2012. Adopting a quality management system is a strategic decision for Prof, enabling more concrete business goals. In a world constantly seeking quality and increasingly sensitive to environmental issues, Prof focuses on maximum experience in designing and producing 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, Prof uses certified E1 boards in accordance with European regulations on formaldehyde emissions, both for raw materials and laminates.

Obtaining the ISO 14001: 2004 certification in 2012 confirms Professor's specific commitment to establishing his own environmental management system, which regulates the impact of production activities on the environment, striving for continuous improvement. In 2015, during the same twenty-year period of the company, Prof introduced a new green label to confirm and identify his commitment to environmental sustainability as an integral part of his business and production growth process. In 2017, the company reaffirmed its "eco-friendly" strategy, confirming its core values of "sustainable" and "responsible," by choosing a new electricity provider (Dolomiti Energia) that sources 100% from renewable sources.

ECOPACKAGING

Prof continues his commitment to a production system capable of minimizing environmental impact. In 2016, Prof invested in a modern packaging machinery park made of biodegradable cardboard, allowing for individual training in packaging. Optimization tailored to specific products enables significant reductions in packaging costs, warehousing, and consequently waste disposal. To improve waste management, several separate collection points for post-production waste have been established within the company. All waste is stored in special containers, which are then subjected to recycling processes.
