Question of Culture, A: Bene Office Furniture

Bene Buromobel was founded as a carpentry shop in 1790 in Waidhofen/Ybbs and has since created, in partnership with renowned architects, new work environments across the world. Thomas Jorda accompanies us through the conversation between entrepreneur Manfred Bene and his long-time associate and architect Laurids Ortner. The graphic design brings concept and chronology together compactly, ensuring an in-depth reading of the dialogue. There is no lack of historical imagery. Individual contributions explore highlighted topics: architecture, design, economic innovation, communication strategies, and the showroom. Historic and current images complement these insights into the success of the company's balance sheet and its role in architecture and design.
