George​ Bricklayer , founder​ CEVRE , has a passion for design and an interest in architecture . He collaborates with renowned​ architects on large​​ projects and always​​ d b in order to space answer me​ as practical , so​​ visual​​​​ I need it . Even when​​​ equipment​ office​ wanted​​ to preserve industrial​​​ character and at the same time to create​ environment that​​​​​ will be inspirational​ and energetic .​  



CEVRE is Czech​​ consulting​ company that​​​​ help​​​ save​​​ energy and support sustainable​​​ development . From in 2003 they are dedicated to energy​ efficiency , share​​​​ is preparing​​​ legislation and are active​ in key words​​​ organizational​​ for thrifty​​ buildings . The offices they chose coincidentally attracted them with their industrial atmosphere.  

CEVRE 's new office is located in the rolling mill of Maréál​​​​​​​ Zbrojovky Brno, which is undergoing a gradual revitalization . This space , which once served as a factory for weapons and other industrial products , is now undergoing a transformation into a modern multifunctional district . The space they chose has a distinct industrial atmosphere and is located near the church where the company 's founder Jiří Cihlář and his wife were married years ago . The personal connection and the unique character of the location were the main reasons why they decided on this particular building . Jiří Cihlář took us on a tour of their new premises equipped with Fleysen furniture to show us how they connect industrial history with modern design .  

For no you chose​ just now​​ this space ?  

I have​ nice​​ industrial​​​ spaces and brownfields , and this one are a l I have interested like whole . It was once huge​ factory , which​​ now​ to cook​​​​ on something​​ new one . In addition , about 100 meters​ from here My wife and I​ they took , so that to this place​​ I have personal​​​ relationship . As first​​ we are signed the most delicate​ contract and were we are excited that​​​​​ I don't have to . to end up in some way​​​ glazed​​ office park , what is it would go​ against ours​​ style .

As hello​​ equipment​​​ office ?​  

Originally​​​ I am didn't want to to bother​ architects with whom we​ we cooperate on large​ projects . So I am addressed less the company that​ is engaged in​​ renovations by design and by​​​ interiors . They collaborated​​ we are on a combination elements that​​​ would they answered​ on the other hand imagine​​​ about modern and inspirational​​​​ space . They had​ we are clear idea​​ – they didn't want to we are holding on​ one style , but rather combine various​​​ elements . They were interested things​​​​​​ from Fleysen , because​​ they have such​ industrial​​​ style that​​ to our​​ environment​​​ nice​​​ west .​

We tried to combine three seemingly disparate things : your new modern designer furniture , refurbished pieces in simple shapes , and neutral white tables that we moved from previous offices . I think the combination was successful , the interior is colorful , but at the same time the plants play a key role , which complement it . – Jiří Cihlář , CEVRE​​​​​​​​​

How are you? was main​ goal​​ at​​ equipment​​​​​ space ?  

If they wanted we are to our​​ office​​ were not boring . All​​​ you white​​​ standard​ tables us​​ they were​ too much​​ lonely . U ž​ we are they had​ bought​ chairs in certain​​​​​​​ colors , and so on we are were looking for some​​ additional​​ color – finally us​​ excited yellow . I think it came out​​​​​​​ great , yellow​​​​ added the whole man space energy .  

What do you think of the furniture ? Fleysen Interested ?  

It was a combination colors and materials . If they wanted​​ we are something​​ youthful and fresh , what will be​​​ data response​ ours​​ relatively​ young man​ collective and fits into the industrial​​ atmospheres​​ this this​ buildings . Fleysen us​​ he came​​​ like ideal​​​ clutch between modern design and industrial​​​ history .​  

How did it influence you ? the fact that​​​ is metal furniture ?​​​ 

He /She / It should not have I am out of it. none​​ concerns . For our​ office where​​​ furniture​​ does not use you​ every​​​ day intensely , that was great​​​ selection . Metal​​​​​ cabinets​​ are robust​ and they comply our​​ I need it , but for​ domestic​​​ intensive​ use​​​​​ would could to be​ more suitable​​ other​ type material .​​ 

What about the color ? Not the packaging Are you okay with that ?  

Right now​​ on the contrary . Bali we are more likely to​ colors they matched each other . Finally , the yellow​ showed​​ like perfect​ additional​​​ the color that​ fit into the overall​ concept ours​​ office .​  

How are you? was yours​​ experience with assembly​​​ for rent ?​  

It was different . Some​​​​​​ incomplete were simple​ for assembly , and in some , such as​​ for example , in high​​ cabinet , it required​​​​ more​​ patience . We are all​​​ successfully​​​​ compiled and the result​ definitely​ stands​ for that !

What do you imagine when​​​​ it is said Fleysen ?  

For me​ it is beautiful​​​ visual design , which​​ answers​​​ ours​​ approach to life . I like it .​​ to that project and I think it has further potential​​​​​​​​​ develop .​​ 

As important​​​​​ is for you local​​​​​ production and carbon​​​​​ trace ?  

I must​ to admit that​​​ I did n't notice . details​ carbon​​​​ track​ on yours​​ pages , because it seems to me that​​​​​​​ many companies today uses​​​ sustainability and carbon​​​​ trace in with my​ marketing . For me it wasn't main​ decision- making argument , because​​ similar​ assertion​ internal​​​​ sometimes with a reserve . However​​​​ I am I 'm glad that Fleysen​​ ​ takes​​​ towards sustainability and production​​​​​​​​ locally . Definitely​​​​​​ us​​ it matters​​ on the fact that furniture​​ was produced​​​​ locally​​​ and so that his carbon​​​ track was as low as possible . We perceive it as​​ part of​ on the other hand philosophy . When​ we can see that​​ Fleysen produces​​​ in the Czech Republic and tries​​ to hold on​ production local , it is for​​​ us​​ plus . However​​​ that for us​​ definitely​ was not main​ decision- making argument . Rather​​ we appreciate​ alone​ access and the fact that​​​ brand​​ It aims at sustainability .​​​
