Classic Italian desk - Prof

Program of desks with an exceptionally versatile character, designed with considerations for operational and semi-permanent configurations. It features a metal structure with a lightweight and essential design, perfectly harmonized with tops available in melamine, wood, Fenix, glossy glass, anti-touch, and printed finishes in all shades from the catalog. In the Dodici operational environment, it allows for the optimization and rationalization of the workspace, facilitating interaction and communication among people: multiple workstations, from simple units separated by screens, can become articulated workstations when integrated with containers, libraries, or Openwall partitions. A wide range of finishes enables a pleasant combination of vibrant and lively or soft and subdued colors, matte surfaces, and wood.

               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 produces prestigious office furniture systems, deeply rooted in the northeastern Italian furniture district. Over these twenty years of economic growth and development, Prof has expanded its view to the international market, contributing to the worldwide dissemination of Italian design and high quality. Through consultations with architects and designers, Prof has strengthened its identity and broadened its product range.
Starting from designer executive collections, it then developed operational systems, reception solutions, and conference rooms, up to partition walls. Today, this allows offering complete and customized furnishing solutions for every workspace.

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 industrial furniture districts. It covers a total area of approximately 8,700 sqm, of which 3,600 sqm are covered. The furniture manufacturing plant is equipped for work in the wood department, assembly, packaging, warehousing, and shipping of finished products. The main building houses executive, commercial, technical, and administrative offices, conference rooms for client meetings, and an exhibition showroom of over 400 sqm, showcasing all collections of luxury 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.

PRODUCTION

The brand manufactures exclusively at the Falzè di Piave facility in 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 through new technologies, have allowed Prof to confirm and solidify its success, continuing to combine tradition and innovation while adapting to new socio-economic changes. Prof's production organization is focused on "just in time," enabling reliability, inventory reduction, and increased quality and customer service. The entire Prof network operates mainly within Italy, in the regional production 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 constant excellence.

DESIGN

At Prof, every element of the furnishings 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 evolutions. Prof models are entirely designed and manufactured in Italy, fully compliant with European safety and hygiene standards. For this reason, Prof collections stand out for their high design, ergonomics, and functionality.

SERVICES

DESIGN CONSULTING

CUSTOMIZATION

Prof can offer and execute personalized services based on standard production models: from manufacturing oversized components, exploring new materials and finishes, to creating samples and prototypes. Thanks to its versatile manufacturing capabilities, Professor has developed specialized knowledge in non-standard consumable materials, handling projects 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 complaints, Professor maintains strict control over issues encountered during installation and use. The company provides technical support and after-sales services, including full information, modifications, and repairs.

BESPOKE PRODUCTS

Prof’s broad manufacturing flexibility allows, in addition to series production, 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 completely individual finishes.

The 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. 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 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 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 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 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 within the company. All waste is stored in special containers and subsequently recycled.
