Under the motto "Rethinking the office", the three leading Austrian office furniture manufacturers Bene, hali and Neudoerfler are presenting their products and concepts for the working world of tomorrow in a cross-brand innovation centre in Lustenau (Vorarlberg) called OFFIZZ.
The three leading office furniture brands Bene, hali and Neudoerfler have been under the umbrella of the Austrian BGO Holding for several years now. The independence of each brand with its unique positioning, clear customer benefits and complementary product focuses has always been at the forefront. "In order to guarantee maximum diversity for our customers, the independence of each individual brand will continue to be our top priority in the future," explains Michael Fried, Co-Managing Director of BGO Holding GmbH. "With the new concept of a cross-brand showroom in Lustenau, we will now bundle the expertise and competence of all three manufacturers in all aspects of offices and working environments and present them to our customers at a geographically very central location in Vorarlberg as a convenient 'one-stop shop' solution," Fried continues.
The top priority: each brand remains true to its core expertise. While hali focuses on versatile and sustainably produced solutions and presents this with the "Framework" storage space programme, for example, Bene has been showcasing its forward-looking work solutions for generations, such as the new PORTS furniture range for modern, contemporary working at management level. Neudoerfler, on the other hand, scores highly in the office furniture sector with its ingenious details, as demonstrated by the MyMotion product series, as well as with acoustic solutions, and works closely with customers to develop customised products that make them feel good.
This creates an innovation space and forum for inspiration and dialogue from the diversity of an unusually broad product portfolio across 400 square metres. "In OFFIZZ, customers can get advice on the specific planning of their office and be inspired by the different product worlds of the three office furniture experts. We will also establish OFFIZZ as a central point of contact for modern working and office environments in the region. With regular events and functions, OFFIZZ will serve as a source of inspiration for companies of all sizes, planners, architects and designers. Because inspiration through expertise, innovation and a commitment to people is the unifying element of the three brands that work together in OFFIZZ," says Michael Fried.
The new cross-brand innovation space "OFFIZZ" in Lustenau has replaced the three previous showrooms in Bregenz and Lustenau since the middle of last year and brings the strengths of the individual office furniture manufacturers of BGO Holding to life in a holistic way: Bene with its innovative strength, hali with its wealth of variants and Neudoerfler with its focus on people.
