About us

Since 1993, we have been designing, manufacturing and installing furniture for clinics, laboratories, schools, care homes and homes. Everything is made in our own factory in Nõo.

How we work

One partner, from planning to maintenance.

You don't need to coordinate multiple contractors: one team takes full responsibility. We plan, design, manufacture, install and maintain.

Let's talk about your project

We listen and understand your needs

We start with the space and the workflow: we measure the room and identify the equipment, utilities and hygiene requirements needed. Based on this, we draw up a design brief that guides the rest of the project.

We plan and design

We prepare drawings, 3D views and a finishes schedule, specifying materials, colours, worktops and hardware. We work with the client's architect or interior architect and agree on the solution before production.

We manufacture, install and maintain

We manufacture in our own factory in Nõo. Our team installs the furniture, sets up the necessary technical connections and installs the equipment, even in a working clinic if needed. After handover, we provide warranty support, a maintenance contract and technical assistance.

From a single room to large-scale projects

One kitchen or an entire care home.

A small order or a large tender: the same factory and the same craftspeople. Automated production lets us handle large orders, while hand finishing adds the final touch to the details.

Company

One company where ideas become furniture.

We manufacture specialist furniture for clinics, laboratories and schools, as well as custom furniture for homes. We handle design and installation ourselves, and we sell and service laboratory and medical equipment.

Designers, production and installers work under one roof. What we know about your space goes from the drawings straight to the factory and back into your space, with no intermediaries.

An automated factory.
Hand-finished details.

Our new production building was completed in 2020. Two years later, we added an extension and automated our production lines. As a result, a large series is made just as precisely as a single custom order.
