The industrial part of Strašnice,
with its railroad tracks, factory halls and chimneys, creates a
perfect setting for the modern JOFO building to grace. Since 1998
JOFO has engaged in artistic metal work, and its offices and workshops
(combined under one roof) feature its own equipment almost exclusively.
The interiors were designed by Jan Forman, one of the firm's three
co-owners.

The Danish firm R+R ordered
the same staircase we have here in our building. So its copy
is in a suburb of Copenhagen. |
My colleague brought in this painting; his
father, Mr. Pospíšil, painted it in Hawaii after he emigrated.
|
|
The showroom on the ground floor features our products exclusively,
including the reception desk.
|
In a certain way, our offices are for self-presentation.
When clients visit, they can see what we have to offer in
practical usage. Additionally, they become aware of the
technical solutions that exist today. For example, space
does not have to be divided by obligatory sheetrock; bent
glass can be used.

This clothes rack is just
a prototype; we're waiting for our clients' reactions. |
We manufacture this office desk with a checkered-plate
pedestal in cooperation with our partner firm, S.I.V. Mimoň.
