REUSE
Breathe new life into your interiors
Refreshing your space doesn't always mean discarding the old. If the main goal of interior design is to ensure employees are comfortable, productive, and content for the long haul, it's equally vital to have a lasting plan for the interiors themselves.
Often, we can retain certain character-defining elements, quality furniture, or even parts of them, rejuvenating them with various modifications. If that's not feasible, we can assist you in selling, donating, or repurposing them for entirely different needs.
Through 6 different steps, we help your organization towards a sustainable solution for your workplace - using one, several or all of the steps.
Long live your interior!
1.
Furnishing inventory
From the onset, Senab dives into assessing the existing inventory of furniture and furnishings at your workplace. To streamline the process, we'll photograph each item, categorize it using a standardized template, and note its condition. For ease of tracking, every item can be tagged with its own QR code, generating a digital counterpart. This not only simplifies tasks like reporting defects, making additions, or managing the product's life cycle, but also enhances your ability to efficiently plan and oversee maintenance and future investments.
This first step not only eases the reuse of interior pieces but also empowers architects to craft an interior concept tailored to your business needs. Furthermore, this thorough documentation proves invaluable when you wish to sell, donate, or recycle furniture down the line. Upon project completion, we can leverage this inventory data to showcase the percentage of items repurposed and share other relevant insights with you.
2.
Interior design concept & floor plan
After the stocktaking, interior designers or architects will develop proposals for the interior design and floor plan to suit the client's needs. This will be based on the sustainability goals you have for the project and also based on the furnishings you already have. Then, the project manager will ensure that the newly acquired furnishings also meet your sustainability goals for the business. The newly acquired furniture can be both newly manufactured and reused from another customer.
3.
Refurbishing & customizing existing furnishings
It's vital to modify furniture to realize your interior design goals. We offer refurbishment and customization services for all movable furnishings within the office. We're here to help coordinate and simplify complex tasks. Our services range from reupholstering furniture, cleaning furniture and carpets, repainting, adjusting table surfaces, woodwork on cabinets and reception counters, to adjusting and mending curtains.
4.
Buying, selling & donating
We're here to assist you in acquiring pre-owned furniture and selling your current pieces through our trusted network of subcontractors. We manage all procedures and communications on your behalf. If a piece remains unsold, we recommend donating it to organizations in need, especially those without the financial means to buy new items. This often supports non-profits, schools, and local municipalities.
5.
Recycling & disposal
A crucial component of our reuse strategy involves responsibly addressing furniture that can't be reused, sold, or donated. We categorize any leftover items, weigh them, and then either recycle or dispose of them properly. We document every action, providing you with a comprehensive recycling report for tracking and communication purposes.
6.
Logistics & coordination
Senab takes charge of the planning, coordination, and logistics required for the reuse initiative. We understand that managing logistics can be the most significant challenge in such projects. Leveraging our extensive experience and diverse expertise, we ensure that all deliveries and tasks are completed on time and to a high standard.
