Franz Design Group Green Conference Tables

* Franz

For 20 years, Franz Design Group has stretched the boundaries of conference table design and manufacturing in virtually every area of the process, from materials to design to sales. From the company's earliest days, co-founders Dan and Bob Franz have focused on using innovative technology, products and design to create quality, custom-built conference tables that are used by Fortune 1000 companies all over the world. Today, Franz Design Group is the industry expert on conference tables. Now the company is bringing this expertise, as well as its high-quality, custom-built strategy, into the realm of the "green" office.

Franz Conference Tables: A History of Innovation and Quality

For a company that constantly pushes the edge of design and manufacturing, it makes sense that Franz Design Group would be the first designer and manufacturer with a 'green' conference table line. Over the years, the company's designers and craftsmen have experimented with cutting-edge materials and design, gaining a wealth of expertise and experience that goes into every Franz Conference Table.

Early on, the company sought out innovative, new materials. For example, several of the veneers offered for Franz Conference Tables are made of engineered wood from Africa and Italy. These engineered woods come from trees grown and harvested specifically for making beautiful, durable veneers.

"We were told that the materials were meant only for vertical use," comments Bob Franz. "We worked and worked with these veneers to get them to adhere horizontally to our table surface. Today, based on our experience, the supplier sells them for horizontal use."

With these veneers, Franz Conference Tables not only look sleek and rich, they also hold up to hard use and UV rays.

Franz Design Group was one of the first companies to apply ergonomic principals to the design process. The result of these efforts is the Franz Styledge, which is built with a 22-degree angle that makes working and sitting at a Franz Conference Table comfortable. These table edges also hold up to wear and tear, an important feature for office furniture, which needs to last.

Technology plays a key role at the company in design and marketing and sales. Tables are designed with CAD applications and manufactured using sophisticated tools guided by computers. But Franz Design Group never lets technology trump craftsmanship. "We get custom designs so complex that they require hand cutting and crafting," explains Bob Franz. "We're not afraid to mix technical and manual manufacturing techniques to create the one-of-a-kind table that our customers want."

Technology also provides Franz Design Group with nation-wide sales reach from its San Rafael, CA headquarters. Customers can see all table shapes, edge styles and veneer options on the company's web site and either order from what they see or use the information as the start for a one-of-a-kind design. Careful and thorough customer service complements the web site to ensure customer confidence.

Whether a customer buys a table created from existing shapes and edges or creates a completely customized design, they can be assured personalized service. Every Franz Conference Table gets a name-usually the customers' company name-not just a number. And because Franz Design Group works without a middleman, customers get direct communications about their table.

Customer service continues through the final step: packing and shipping. After years in the business, Franz Design Group has developed safe shipping into a science. Every table is boxed in its own packing case and then shipped only with the safest and most reliable shipping companies.

Turning Green

All this innovation and service goes into the company's new green conference table and furniture line. The tables are built from bamboo and aluminum and the table's surface is finished with shellac and then hand-rubbed with non-toxic oils. A matching credenza is built from the same materials and a visual aid board includes glass along with bamboo and aluminum.

"We want to replicate our tables with materials that are completely sustainable, renewable, recyclable and environmentally responsible," explains Dan Franz. "Unlike the consumer market, there are very few options for green office furniture. We plan to change that with this new line."

"This is an exciting next step for us," continued Dan Franz. "As the experts in conference table design, we're the right company to bring green into the board room."

THINK ABOUT IT........

FRANZ DESIGN GROUP......specializing in custom conference tables....


If you are looking for a new custom conference table then you have quite a few things to consider before you reach the final decision about what exactly it is that you want your custom conference table to do. Unfortunately, and very costly to buy, a conference table that is too small or the wrong design can be a nightmare.It is important to do proper research and planning before buying something so important. Most companies want their conference room to look professional but get side tracked when it comes to the real needs for functionality of such a place. In today's world with all the communication devices available, power and data intergration into a table and wire management are vital when it comes to making the right choice for a custom conference table. The conference room with it's custom conference table properly designed is where a lot of powerful people will meet to make very important decisions. Sounds like it could be a confusing process in determining how to design such a custom conference table that fits one's needs. Answer! customconferencetables.com is the start of building the confidence that you have found the right company to help with the task of getting a custom conference table that is right.

The first thing you need to think about is the shape of the table and size of the custom conference table. We at Franz Design Group take the design of the room and requirements of the custom conference table in mind. This process is one that involves both parties.

Once we, meaning both our staff and the company's staff have decided on the proper shape and size of the custom conference table, which includes power and data requirements and that most often item....wire management, we look at placement of the people at the custom conference table.

A look at the different finishes and colors available always comes into play. This is where we can get quite creative in order to fit the budget for the custom conference table.

When you have made all the decisions regarding the custom conference table,it is time to consider the conference chairs. We can help! Chairs are not such an easy thing to choose as most clients might think. The chairs are actually an item that come into play earlier in the process of designing a custom conference table. The number of desired people at the conference table, the power and data needs and then, which is very important in the design of a custom conference table..again..wire management.

If you consider the steps mentioned above when buying a custom conference table and any other pieces of conference table accessories...i.e. conference credenza, visual aid board or boards, there is quite a bit of thinking that comes into play.

Sounds complicated but when you design and build custom conference tables for over 20 years and that is what you do, it is second nature. Franz Design Group has created a look that is unique and much thought was put into mentally breaking the table apart into to pieces. This allows us to help design a table by building design elements that fit not only the needs but the budget for a custom conference table. Who wants to spend money on frills that"come" with the product when you do not need them. This philosphy has helped us provide high quality products to a client base that has proven to be extremely satisfied.

Bottom line....if you have special needs for YOUR custom conference table and are stuck on how to begin or get the job done, then you "MUST" consider Franz Design group.
