Design Factory – Modular office furniture for startups and SMEs
8 years ago Shalini BGone are those days when customers accepted whatever the market offered. Today customers are more informed, and know exactly what they are looking for. Thus came in the whole concept of customization which slowly spread to all areas and products.
Today, the concept of modular furniture is a big hit. But what if I tell you that there is a startup that took the initiative of providing modular furniture to other startups? Yes, you have read it right – Design Factory is a startup pioneered by Bijoy Babu, Vishnu and Srinivas which is into manufacturing and selling of modular office furniture to start-ups & SMEs in the city. Their products are fully modular and by their designs they strive to promote an open office methodology which gives better space, better efficiency per floor, better employee interaction & engagement and since the products are modular  they can be easily shifted and also gets a high resale value due to its modular functions & long durability.
“I started a co-working with a business centre in 2013 which had all private cabins. We came up with a complete revamp for this working space. After seeing this new place lot of associates engaged us for doing the interiors of their new offices. While doing this I realised there is a gap in the market for affordable office furniture. I also realized that though there are lot of options for traditional furniture, but once they are used it has no resale value and then there are those black & brown Chinese furniture which only looks good and can’t even handle a stain, But yes there were other products which are either big brands or are imported which makes the furniture very expensive. So this was my golden moment and decided to come up with a solution to affordable and classy furniture. This was the eureka moment which motivated me to start a small space at Balanagar where I did the metal fabrication, painting and the finish of the table top wood.†Says Bijoy when asked about the whole idea generation.
Apart from Bijoy, the team consists of; Vishnu who takes care of the fabrication works and started with Design Factory straight out of college. Srinivas takes care of the wood related work and was an Oracle practiser for 5 years before joining Design Factory.
