How it started
2019. An office
that no longer fit.
In 2019 our CEO, Vasavas Nonsopa, ran into a problem every modern workplace knows: furnishing an office was a tremendous hassle.
Then the way we work changed. Offices moved from fully on-site to hybrid — 50:50 or 60:40 between the office and home — and a dedicated desk for every person stopped making sense, for the real estate and for the finances.
After furnishing dozens of offices for commercial real estate, he found that office-furniture companies fell into three groups:
- 1
High quality and good design — but expensive and slow.
- 2
Affordable and fast — but short on design, quality and service.
- 3
Nothing that really fitted hybrid work after COVID-19.
We had lived it ourselves, moving from dedicated desks to a co-working layout and running into problems no furniture company or designer could solve. We wanted an office that looked sleek and beautiful at a sensible cost, that actually worked, reflected our culture and helped our people do their best work. ZOUND is what we built to get there.
