Process

Milder Office is designs and produces environments for office as well as educational environments.
Working jointly with our customers and/or their architect, Milder Office provides design and production solutions for a wide area of needs: from office or studio, library, class room or dorm, to retail environments or showroom. Milder Office offers complete service: from itemized proposals and floor planning, to responsible sourcing, project management and logistics. And because everything is made to order, customization is our new standard.
Building on the detailing and material selection [standards] from our standard catalog, we customize the Milder Furniture System in response to actual client needs, space configurations and budget.

–
Working in close collaboration with the project architect or directly with our clients, we routinely provide a number of alternative lay-outs and configurations to develop optimal solutions for your/client’s space and work methods.

Same turn around time, 6-8 weeks.
Space planning, fit studies.
No up-charge.

Catalog Items straight out of the catalog are available to Independent Reps or Dealers at a special discount: 50+10% (minimum quantity orders may apply)

Orders combining standard product with customized, or specifically developed product are discounted to the trade (i.e. architects; interior designers) at a maximum of 40% dependent on the overall quantity ordered.

We do sell direct. Discount to be determined based on the nature and volume of the order.

Because everything is made to order using digital manufacturing technology, re-ordering, or adding parts to highly customized configurations is not a problem, makes for an easy fit.

Unified consistent look: Combination of catalog pieces in standard sizes and configurations with pieces that are specifically designed to fit a particular space or function, creates a consistent look throughout the office, showroom and learning environment. If you don’t find a similar piece in our catalog, give us the specs and we’ll develop and budget a solution in our system’s vernacular.

Materials:

Film faced plywood from Finland

The primary material used is pre-finished birch plywood from Finland, available in a variety of colors. Since the finish is applied at the lumber mill, the material requires no lacquering or other ecologically problematic secondary treatment. The edges of the plywood are typically left exposed, sanded smooth and sealed.

Limited emissions occur only during the closely controlled manufacturing process in state of the art facilities in Finland. After the plywood leaves the factory the material is free from any off-gassing and it’s overall emission level is comparable to that of untreated natural wood.

Birch trees are carefully farmed in Finland, where a sound method of reforestation and harvesting of lumber has been developed over the last century. Trees do not come from clear cutting of large native forests, but from family owned, well managed tree farms of continuously regenerated Finnish forests.

Milder Office has close contacts with the Finnish plywood producers, and as a result we are constantly enlarging the range of available materials. We use no woods from tropical forests. In the harsh conditions of northern Europe trees have a short growing season. Growth is slow and the annual rings are tight. These ideal natural conditions give rise to exceptionally strong wood of consistently high quality. The ideal raw material for plywood.

Please note: Some random variation of color and pattern in the plywood is to be expected due to the natural veneers and unusual characteristics of the surface finish. In addition, research has shown that all finishes are subject to color change, depending on age and exposure to light. These factors should be considered by buyers when comparing samples.
