Generations of learners and teachers have already appreciated the value, intelligence and durability of the profile system. That is why it has been produced almost unchanged since 1974 with a guarantee of re-purchase. But we are not resting on the laurels of the past, because we are continuously developing the profile system and adapting it to the new learning requirements of tomorrow.

Our furniture is like clothing. It doesn’t just have to suit the room, it also has to suit the person.
The best part of school is the breaks.
ACTIVE upholstery
Four shapes, many colors.
Sustainability is when something lasts a long time.
We do not produce disposable furniture with a built-in expiry date; we make a daily companion that lasts for generations and is of use for a very long time. Because every single piece, every screw, every element can be repaired, replaced and reordered, even after decades. That also includes us continuously reducing the amount of energy and waste in our production by focusing on reuse and recycling.
We are convinced: Things that last a long time and make life better are valuable.
