Furbish

Hej igen! We’re glad to see you back here. Yesterday you met Ulrike and Holger, the founders of Furbish®. Today we’d like to tell you our story, how everything started.

The origin of Furbish®, is to be found in the Smart and Sustainable Office (SSO) project, run by Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden and the IVE - Instituto Valenciano de la Edificación, in Valencia, Spain.

The project SSO is based on a body of research conducted over the past decade to determine the key ingredients for a successful smart and sustainable office. The project resulted in the development of a model that in its turn led to the launch of Furbish® as a start-up, commercialising its findings and results.

The SSO team worked with EIT Climate-KIC to build a comprehensive database – Europe’s first – that demonstrates patterns and interactions between office design, building systems, indoor comfort, user behaviour and employee productivity. From this, the teams were able to establish a consultancy methodology to create smarter offices.

Furbish® has already analysed 40 different offices across Europe using the research methods identified in the preliminary research along with “office DNA analyses”.
