Charming flower pots for the office - Prof

A wooden accessory designed to be used as a magazine stand or plant stand, with an internal holder for a vase.

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

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

Prof Office was founded in 1995, drawing on experience in the furniture industry, a family-run industrial environment 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 have enabled 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 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 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, specializing in manufacturing office furniture, is equipped for woodwork, assembly, packaging, warehousing, and shipping of finished products. The main building houses executive, commercial, technical, and administrative offices, conference rooms for client meetings, and a showroom of over 400 sqm that displays 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 company manufactures exclusively at the Falzè di Piave plant in the province of Treviso 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 continuing to combine tradition and innovation, adapting to new socio-economic changes. Prof's production 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 local manufacturing district where most raw material and semi-finished supplier companies are located. All products are designed and made entirely in Italy to ensure a standard of consistent excellence.

DESIGN

At Prof's factory, every piece of furniture 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 working closely with external designers, 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 offers 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 propose and execute personalized services on standard production models: from the manufacturing of oversized components, through exploring new materials and finishes, to sample and prototype creation. Thanks to its versatile manufacturing capabilities, Professor has developed specialized knowledge in non-standard consumable materials, handling projects ranging from small and medium-sized to highly personalized creations.

AFTER-SALES SERVICE

Thanks to the UNI EN ISO 9001: 2008 certification system for managing non-conforming products and claims, 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

Professor’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: targeted design, meticulous material selection, and attention to detail, culminating in the construction process step-by-step until final installation.
The entire production is fully adapted to individual requirements.

ENVIRONMENT

In response to increasing international market competition by improving customer satisfaction and loyalty, and 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 environmental issues, Prof focuses on maximum experience in designing and manufacturing office furniture with respect for the environment. From carefully selected raw materials, through the entire processing and packaging cycle, to disposal, everything aims to protect health and conserve 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 cutting.

Achieving ISO 14001: 2004 certification in 2012 confirms Prof’s 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 company’s twentieth 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, enabling customized packaging training. Optimizing packaging for specific products significantly reduces packaging costs, storage, and waste disposal. To improve waste management, several separate collection points for post-production waste were established. All waste is stored in special containers and subsequently recycled.
