Charming desk - Prof

Flexible partition system for adaptable work environments. Defined by simple functional elements, it can gradually expand according to the specific needs of the office space. This way, integrated workstations are created with open and protected configurations for different functional areas, from operational zones to communal service areas. Partition walls can be equipped with transparent and opaque panels in all finishes available in the catalog and can be covered with fabric for improved acoustic comfort.

Design-oriented aesthetics combined with the highest quality materials are undoubtedly synonymous with the Prof brand.

Prof Office was born in 1995 from experience in the furniture industry, rooted in a family industrial environment that designs elegant office furniture systems, deeply anchored in the Italian northeastern 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 executive collections, it then developed operational systems, reception solutions, and conference rooms, up to partition walls. Today, this enables offering holistic and customized furnishing solutions for every workplace.

HEADQUARTERS

The headquarters of Prof, along with the plant and offices, is located in Falzè di Piave, in the Treviso province, 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, specializing in the production of office furniture, is equipped for work in the wood department, assembly, packaging, warehousing, and logistics of finished products. The main building houses executive, sales, technical, and administrative offices, conference rooms for client meetings, and an exhibition showroom of over 400 sqm that displays all collections of prestigious 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 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 consolidate its success by continuously blending tradition and innovation, adapting to new socio-economic changes. Prof's manufacturing organization is focused on "just in time," which combines reliability, inventory reduction, and increased quality and customer service. The entire Prof network operates mainly within Italy, in the designated production district where most raw material and semi-finished supplier companies are located. All products are fully designed and manufactured in Italy to ensure a standard of consistent excellence.

DESIGN

At Prof's factory, every piece of furniture results from the ability to understand 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 constantly updated with technological and legislative developments. Prof models are entirely designed and produced in Italy, fully compliant with European safety and health standards. For this reason, Prof collections stand out for their high design, ergonomics, and functionality.

The company provides technical support and after-sales services, including full information, modifications, and repairs.

BESPOKE PRODUCTS

Professor’s high production flexibility allows, in addition to series manufacturing, 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 of implementation: targeted design, with meticulous material selection and attention to detail, culminating in the construction process step-by-step until final installation.
The production is fully adapted to individual needs.

ENVIRONMENT

In response to increasing international market competitiveness by improving customer satisfaction and loyalty, streamlining 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 ecological issues, Prof focuses on maximum experience in designing and producing 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 for both raw materials and laminates.
Each panel is then marked by the Ecological 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 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 energy 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, enabling customized training in packaging. 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.
