CANS, a brand you might have seen in stores or online supermarkets, offers pastel-colored cans of unsweetened beverages – just a few drops of natural juice and a touch of fizz. Jan Rambousek, one of the co-founders of CANS, shared his experience with Fleysen furniture in their offices in Karlín.
How does our metal furniture align with your brand philosophy?
We chose the furniture because we wanted something that fits what we do. We sell drinks in cans, so we work with metal, and metal furniture seemed logical to us.
How did the design for your office interior come about?
We knew we wanted a larger shelving system, and we ended up designing it ourselves to meet our needs. We did everything in-house. For us, it's important to have creative control over what we do, and this was no exception. Plus, it was just a few shelves :), so we managed without any issues.

How do you perceive the quality of our furniture?
I think the value for money is great. We had the chance to choose colors that match our cans, which was awesome. Of course, if we wanted something heavier, we’d have to invest more. When we compared the price with custom carpentry, we found that a similar setup would be three to four times more expensive. But for the purpose of this setup, it’s absolutely sufficient.
How do your employees or visitors respond to the furniture?
Our employees like it. They especially appreciate the colors, which add life to the space. I think without these vibrant elements, it would feel dull here.

Was it important to you that we are a Czech company?
We didn’t really consider it, but it’s nice to support local production. The collaboration was smooth, and everything went according to plan.

Would you recommend our brand to other companies?
I think one of your main advantages is the option to customize colors. You have your standard shades, but for companies, the ability to match their colors is key, and not many other suppliers offer that. So yes, I would definitely recommend Fleysen.
