Design DESIGN that serves people and their work. At Ahrend, design is a tradition, not a trend. The boundless perfectionism of Friso Kramer, who created his first designs for the company in the 1950s, has been a great influence on Ahrend’s design philosophy. His Revolt chair, designed in 1953, and Mehes office furniture range. From the 1970s, are still iconic parts of our collection. Today, our own designers like Wijtse Rodenburg, Bas Pruijser and Kees de Boer, in collaboration with leading talents such as Wim Quist, Frans de la Haye, Perry A. King & Santiago Miranda, Sigurd Rothe and Roberto Meyer & Jeroen van Schooten, ensure that Ahrend continues to produce inspiring individual pieces and series of furniture. The purpose of the Ahrend Collection is to serve people and their work. Staying open to changes in society and providing direction to new developments is key to Ahrend. We therefore highly value working together with customers, suppliers, architects and designers.

Ahrend 800 Designed by Wijtse Rodenburg. “Everything merges harmoniously: form, function and material. Ahrend 800 proves that you can give “cool” materials such as stainless steel and glass a friendly and almost “playful” character. And this is precisely what I had in my mind’s eye during the design process: a piece of furniture that takes you by surprise both in a business environment as well as at home. Pleasing to look at and pleasing to work on.

Ahrend Jetstream Designed by Marijn vd Poll. Ahrend Jetstream was designed by the Dutch designer Marijn van der Poll. The design of the table is inspired by the De Havilland Comet, the first commercial jet airliner in history, which carried many passengers around the world from the start of the 1950s. The unique form of the Jetstream adds to the work experience without any loss of functionality.

Ahrend 1030 Designed by Wim Quist. In 1996, Ahrend commissioned architect Wim Quist to translate his ideas about form and function on the one hand, and choice and control of materials on the other, into a series of tables. With the Ahrend 1030 tables, Wim Quist demonstrates once again that simplicity and functionality are the two pillars in which beauty rests. Four table top shapes. Aluminium frame of fixed or easily adjustable height.

Ahrend 22 Designed by Bas Pruijser. Ahrend 22 is a range of tables (desking), consisting of low tables, tables at standing height and tables at working height.

Ahrend 750 Designed by Wijtse Rodenburg. Working is all about variation.

From high to low, open or closed, and everything in between, the desk enables the user to have multiple options when using the space.

Logging in quickly, typing a brief report, checking your E-mails, holding a meeting or a business lunch - modern tables can support all these functions, and more.

Revolt Designed by Friso Kramer. Things that never become outdated only get better with time. This is certainly true of the Ahrend Revolt chair.

Frame: bent sheet steel Seat and back: synthetic

Ahrend 360 Designed by Jeroen Verbrugge “We set ourselves the task of making a unique proposition, in terms of aesthetics, functionality and technique, and this chair is where it took us”, says Jeroen Verbrugge. What makes the chair so unique is the special material used in its construction. The legs and frame of the AHREND 360 are made from magnesium extracted from seawater. “Magnesium is an alternative material to aluminium”, Jeroen Verbrugge explains. “In terms of energy consumed during extraction and processing, aluminium is particularly damaging to the environment. The extraction of magnesium from seawater is not. Furthermore, it takes less energy to process and work magnesium. The seat of the AHREND 360 is completely separate from the legs and frame, and is made from a different material. “This is a good idea from the point of view of sustainability, because both elements can easily be recycled separately “, says Jeroen Verbrugge. The seat of the AHREND 360 is made from recycled polypropylene, which is available in many RAL colours. The design of the Ahrend 360 was kept deliberately simple. “Aesthetically, I was looking for beautiful lines, with a warm effect. Timeless, but above all elegant. Something that would be at home in all kinds of user environments. For that matter, the Ahrend 360 is also stackable.”

TABLE TOP Bamboo top with: 1. ‘Whitewash’ finish 2. Apple green cover paint 3. White cover paint

Facet Designed by Friso Kramer. The ciranol-topped Facet table has always been as innovative as the Revolt chair, boasting minimum volume and maximum strength. This timeless table gets its name from its bevelled frame, which slants away under the tabletop so you won’t bump your knees - because its Friso Kramer’s view, design must above all be practical. Sheet steel in white, black or matte chrome. Top: Ciranol in white, black or grey.
