3 Our story began with a friendship. Freshly graduated from the Czech Technical University and armed with little more than a few simple ideas and some big ambitions, Jiří Kejval and Martin Kulík established TECHO a.s. in 1991, initially designing and manufacturing interior lighting fittings. That friendship grew into a productive business partnership and those simple ideas developed into a solid creative vision which, by 1996, saw TECHO a.s. established as the market leader for the design and manufacture of office furniture in the Czech Republic. Expansion naturally followed and having created offices in various European countries, TECHO UK was formed in 2000, in partnership with Barry Foley. This was followed by successful integration into the Dutch market-leading Royal Ahrend Group of companies in It is that ideology of friendship and a commitment to partnership that is at the very core of what we do and why we re continuing to grow today. It s enabled us to form strong, meaningful bonds with our award winning designers, develop environmentally conscious strategies with our suppliers and most importantly to establish and sustain long-term, successful relationships with you, our customers. At TECHO we are unfaltering in our belief in those partnerships and unwavering in our commitment to maintaining them. For us, it s never about selling you furniture. It s about working with you to design your dreams and staying with you to maintain your ambitions. ABOUT

We never use tropical hardwoods in our production and insist on strict, transparent compliance with European environmental standards. No toxic or harmful materials are used in any of our products, our materials and fabrics are recyclable and our environmentally conscious manufacturing processes resulted in TECHO becoming the first member of FISP (Furniture Industry Sustainability Programme). We insist on strict compliance with European office furniture standards and certifications, an on-going commitment to a reduction in waste and a clean, energy efficient manufacturing and supply system. We believe what we do makes a difference to your world. How we do it is an essential part of what we like to think of as our partnership with the planet. GREEN

9 Functionality and aesthetic appearance, simplicity and flexibility are all characteristics of the contemporary workplace and each element is embodied in the Arkus office desk. It has been designed for sustainability regardless of the changing workplace trends. Simple to specify, install and reconfigure, Arkus is an ideal choice for open plan offices. With a high degree of variability in either the C leg or A leg with optional integrated cable ducts through the profiled steel legs, the desk can be easily adapted to suit use as office workstations, conference tables and furnishing individual offices. The Arkus desk system has aged so well because of its versatility. TECHO is primarily a project furnisher rather than a furniture retailer. The big advantage of Arkus is that it is very good in a supporting role. It can always be adapted for a given project. Hans Verboom, NL ARKUS

13 From the creative minds of renowned design studio ADR, the Horizont desk system can be adapted to fulfil the demands of multiple situations and environments. The system has proven popular with architects and designers alike for its sleek aesthetic and flexibility, available in a choice of work surface finishes made from MFC with laser edging or Ekotech with a chamfered edge. With several options for cable management, all of which are concealed under the desktops to maintain its sleek aesthetic, Horizont is the ideal solution for managing office tasks and creating the most effective utilisation of space. I like simple forms that are completely subordinate to function. The new engineering solution of the desktop material helped to achieve this, and it is also environmentally friendly.

22 The never ending desk bench system has its origins in the offices of British architect Sir Norman Jones. Designed by Craig Jones, Platform is ideal for hot-desk or call centre environments and its design encourages both flexible working and active communication between workers. Where required, Platform can also be divided using screens to create closed workstations and a broad range of accessories, monitor arms and CPU holders are available. The system incorporates flip-up access to a discreet central cabling system for power and data. Design is about searching for excellence - fulfilling the client s brief, but also looking beyond the bare specification to incorporate feelings as well as perhaps things that the client didn t realise he needed. This synthesis of design brief and designer inspiration can result in something special that stands apart from other products. Such products stand the test of time and become classics.

31 Combining a timeless elegance in design with a lasting durability fit for the modern working office space, the Club sofa range hails from revered British furniture designer Robin Day OBE. Most famous for his creation of the first polypropylene shell chair, Robin Day s philosophy centred on the design of functional, elegant, economic and durable furniture. In keeping with TECHO s belief in using responsibly sourced, sustainable and recyclable materials, the soft seating range is manufactured and hand-upholstered in the UK and offered in a choice of contemporary colours, fabrics and leathers. I would think twice about designing stuff for which there was no need and which didn t endure Robin Day, UK SOFT
