NNOF

Nnof or ‘Nearly new office facilities’ supplies a range of products and services geared toward reusing and upgrading existing office furniture. The customers’ own office furniture serves as the raw material for the projects Nnof brings to fruition on their behalf. Nnof takes care of both catalogue products and tailored designs.
The Nnof offering comes in many guises: from sheer reuse all the way up to the complete transformation of existing objects. Drawer units can be made into lockers, desk tops are sawn and reused to make sitting blocks, and so on.
Reusing these materials comes with a significant financial gain. In addition, it succeeds in reducing customers’ ecological footprint.
