Pam Schriever – Furniture Consulting

P: We join the project team right at the beginning of the first work phases. First, we receive a briefing and then we work out a furniture concept with our colleagues. This involves the selection of furniture for a wide range of areas, from workplaces to lounges, workshop, conference and meeting rooms and outdoor areas. We work with finished products and custom designs. Kinzo also designs custom-made carpentry solutions with individual sizes, colours, textiles, materials and surfaces. These include podiums, counters, chairs, tables, stools, lounge furniture etc.

P: We introduced the so-called TestLab at Kinzo where furniture can be tested and evaluated via a QR code. With the help of an app, personal data such as height is requested anonymously and the users evaluate aspects such as comfort, feel, design and craftmanship. Based on the results, we develop a digital Kinzo catalogue with the best furniture for individual requirements. This catalogue is available to all Kinzas/Kinzos.

P: We visit trade fairs, do a lot of online research, subscribe to newsletters and have weekly appointments with sales people who visit us in the office. But sometimes we also come across interesting products by chance when we are actually looking for something completely different.

P: My current favorite is continuously the Cordia Lounge by COR, it’s super comfortable and of high quality. Ideal for lounge meetings, power naps and flex work. I‘m especially interested in designers and manufacturers who value sustainable production and materials and fair working conditions.
