At the beginning of April, the redesign of Franx’s office was completed. Franx is a fast-growing financial start-up of ABN AMRO. Issos produced and installed several pieces of custom-made furniture for this project.

The design by Toplab Architects makes use of recycled and flexible materials, fully aligning with the overall planet-proof concept envisioned by the client for the new office space in Amsterdam Zuidoost. We produced and installed a new pantry, plant containers, and wardrobe and storage furniture. In addition, we produced lockers, waste stations, and printer furniture. All custom-made furniture was crafted from solid Triple Douglas wood. It was designed and manufactured so that it can be placed and moved freely within the new space. All pieces are mobile and can be transported with a pallet truck.
The highlight of the new office is the Franx Wall. This partition wall is made of wood and consists of only six CNC-milled wooden planks. The squares from the X-frame serve as shelves, with no screws or glue used in the construction, making it a true technical masterpiece. The acoustic material is made from recycled PET bottles.
This project was a collaboration between Toplab Architects, Plan-H Project Management, and Issos.
Yes, we do that regularly, for example in museums! We have extensive experience with structural requirements, additional permitting processes, and respecting original features during renovations or transformations. The bigger the challenge, the more rewarding the work!
We consider routing, acoustics, sightlines, materials, and maintenance. Everything must not only look good but also be logical, safe, and durable in use – especially in sectors such as government, culture, and airports.
Yes. Our team is trained, vetted, and familiar with the procedures. We regularly work in areas with restricted access and strict logistics, such as airports or government facilities.
Yes. We have the organization, network, and experience to operate simultaneously at multiple locations across the Netherlands – with centralized coordination and local execution.
Sure. We regularly work in construction teams with external architects, contractors and consultants. We coordinate our role flexibly: from interior construction alone to taking care of the entire process.
No. We also take on smaller assignments and sub-projects with the same care and professionalism. Think of reception areas, pantries, meeting rooms or custom solutions where quality and detail are important.
Turnkey means that we take care of the entire process: from engineering to planning, execution and aftercare. One point of contact, one schedule, one result. No separate links, but one sleek whole.
Yes. We have our own production in-house and work with a permanent group of high-quality production partners. We engineer, plan and coordinate everything — including production, installation and delivery. This is how we guarantee quality, planning and a high level of finish.
Because we contribute ideas from practice to the practical feasibility of a project. We often see where bottlenecks can arise and how to prevent them — technically, financially or architecturally. This way, you prevent delays and failure costs.
