Ahrend Design Studio
Keeping employees happy, healthy and productive at work. That is our mission. The Ahrend Design Studio plays a major role in this. This specialized interior design agency helps organizations from the first question to the last styling detail to create a vitalizing office environment.
Research and advice
Each interior design starts with the request from our client(s). During the initial requirements meeting, we research the purpose of a project, design or organisational change, and we establish what the soul of the organisation is and which norms and values are important. Together with our customers, we lay the foundation for the new working environment. We organise workshops, surveys, interviews, and, if necessary, we research the occupancy rate to get the required information.
Design
We process all this information and draft a report. Then we start the interior design process in the following phases: Sketch design, preliminary design and a final design. We work together with our customers towards a new environment for the organisation in a 3 step process, which includes all aspects. It starts with a mood board and a layout sketch, and ends with a complete design book containing the finishings of walls, floors, furniture, any special work and lighting.
Execution
Following the approval of the final design, we proceed to the realisation phase. We look after correct design execution, monitor the concept, take care of the details during construction meetings, and when it comes to styling, we dot the i's and cross the t's.
‘By making the right choices in design, product, functionalities and materials, we ensure that your working environment is a reflection of your organisation′s identity.’

Specialist knowledge
Each of our interior designers has their own specialty. This enables us to support you in specific matters. For example: acoustics, the colour and atmosphere experience, circularity and sustainability, hybrid working, vitality, and furnishing in accordance with the WELL Building Standard.
Circular philosophy
The circular philosophy is at the heart of all our products. This prevents raw materials from becoming waste and we (re)use parts and materials for as long as possible. Many of the products we developed according to circular principles thirty years ago, are now coming back to us, and we are giving them a new lease of life in the Circular Hub. In this way, we ensure value retention and reduce the carbon emissions. Our designers address reusing (your own) furniture, and they use the services and expertise of the Circular Hub where possible.
