Kinnarps was founded in Sweden and has developed into one of Europe’s largest players in office and project interiors. The brand is built on a comprehensive vision, where furniture, space, and use are approached as one coherent system. Its design language is typically Scandinavian: functional, calm, and balanced, with attention to ergonomics, acoustics, and wellbeing. Typologies such as desks, seating, storage systems, and acoustic solutions are developed as interconnected elements within a workspace environment. A key aspect is the control over production and logistics, with a strong focus on sustainability, efficient transport, and material use. Initiatives such as The Better Effect make this approach measurable and transparent throughout the product lifecycle. The group also includes brands such as Drabert, reinforcing its international and multidisciplinary approach. Materials are consciously selected and applied within a circular vision, where reuse and longevity are central.

Steelcase was founded in the United States and has grown into one of the largest global players in office and workplace interiors. Its approach is based on in-depth research into work behavior, collaboration, and interaction, where furniture is seen as part of a broader work environment. The design language is rational and systematic, with an emphasis on modularity and flexibility. Typologies such as office chairs, workplace systems, storage solutions, and collaborative setups are designed as interconnected elements. The brand collaborates with designers and research institutions, resulting in collections that combine technical innovation with insights into use. Materials such as plastics, metal, and textiles are applied with attention to durability and lifespan. The designs support different ways of working and adapt to evolving environments without becoming visually dominant.
