An elegant mirror for a prestigious office - Prof

Josephine is an oval mirror available in two sizes, featuring an elegant metal frame painted in shades from the catalog, and a wall-mounted mirror inset into the wall.

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

Prof Office was founded in 1995, drawing on experience in the furniture industry, a family-run industrial background that produces prestigious 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 worldwide dissemination of Italian design and high quality. By consulting with architects and designers, Prof has strengthened its identity and expanded its product range.
Starting with designer executive collections, it then developed operational systems, reception solutions, and conference rooms, up to partition walls. Today, this enables offering complete, customized furnishing solutions for every workspace.

HEADQUARTERS

The headquarters of Prof, along with its plant and offices, is located in Falzè di Piave, in the Treviso province, 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 manufacturing plant, specialized in producing office furniture, is equipped for woodwork, assembly, packaging, warehousing, and shipping of finished products. The main headquarters houses executive, commercial, technical, and administrative offices, conference rooms for client meetings, and a showroom of over 400 sqm displaying all collections of exclusive office furniture. In 2017, an expansion of over 1,800 sqm was completed, with 640 sqm dedicated to production, 330 sqm to new offices, and 830 sqm to a new showroom.

PRODUCTION

The manufacturing facility produces exclusively in Falzè di Piave, Treviso, and always bases its identity on the utmost respect for people, the land, and materials. Strong local roots and innate "know-how" skills, which have evolved also thanks to new technologies, have allowed Prof to confirm and consolidate its success, continuing to blend tradition and innovation, adapting to new socio-economic changes. Prof's production organization is "just in time," enabling reliability, inventory reduction, and increased quality and customer service. The entire Prof network operates mainly within Italy, in the local production district where most raw material and semi-finished supplier companies are located. All products are fully designed and made in Italy to ensure a standard of consistent excellence.

DESIGN

At Prof, every element of the furniture results from an understanding of the changing dynamics of workplaces. Research has always been a strategic part of the company's development policy, expressed through an internal Design Department working closely with external designers and constantly 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

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

AFTER-SALES SERVICE

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

BESPOKE PRODUCTS

Prof’s extensive production flexibility allows, in addition to mass production, the realization of custom-designed projects tailored to specific client needs. The Design Department is capable of supporting clients or designers in developing and producing unique products, both functional and aesthetic, with completely individual finishes.
Careful consulting at every stage: a targeted design, with meticulous material selection and attention to detail, culminating in the structure, step by step, until final installation.
The production is fully customized to individual needs.

ENVIRONMENT

In response to increasing international market competition through improving customer satisfaction and loyalty, and streamlining internal production processes, Professor obtained ISO 9001: 2008 certification in 2012. Implementing 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 ecological issues, Prof focuses on maximum experience in designing and manufacturing office furniture with respect for the environment. Starting 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 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 wood reuse in the manufacturing process, which does not involve tree felling.

Obtaining the ISO 14001: 2004 certificate in 2012 confirms Prof’s specific commitment to establishing its 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, Prof introduced a new green logo to confirm and identify its commitment to sustainable environmental development as an integral part of its operations and growth process. In 2017, the company reaffirmed its “eco-friendly” strategy, emphasizing its values of “sustainability” and “responsibility,” and switched to a new electricity provider (Dolomiti Energia) that sources 100% from renewable sources.

ECO PACKAGING

Prof continues its commitment to a production system capable of minimizing environmental impact. In 2016, Prof invested in a modern packaging machinery park using biodegradable cardboard, allowing for customized training in packaging. Optimization tailored to specific products significantly reduces packaging, storage costs, and consequently waste disposal. To improve waste management, several separate collection points for post-production waste were established within the company. All waste is stored in special containers and subsequently recycled.
