Better furniture for less
We believe that workspaces can and should be attractive, sustainable and cost less. Rype Office exists to make this easy for customers. We provide high quality, better value, more sustainable furniture as well as office design assistance.
REFRESHED
Remake or remodel your current furniture at a fraction of the cost of new
REMADE
We remanufacture quality brand name furniture to as-new condition, saving you over 50% on the list price
NEW
We provide new furniture that is long-lasting and easily remade, so its lifetime cost is lower. We also access heavily discounted brand-name surplus stock
Combine all three for a beautiful, budget-friendly office – our design associates can assist to create an inspiring workplace that improves productivity and minimises your footprint.

We found Rype Office a very accommodating supplier. We wanted furniture of a high quality and at a good competitive price. We had a tight deadline to have it sourced and placed in our new branch and Rype Office was able to accommodate in price and delivery. Their expertise and knowledge of the design and installation was fantastic.

About us
Our aim is to provide beautiful quality office furniture at a lower cost, with less environmental impact and creating local jobs through remanufacturing. So we have developed techniques and partnerships enabling us to remake furniture economically.
Our journey has been a long one. 20 years ago Greg did his PhD on green buildings. Since then he has designed offices and worked helping companies with circular resource use, amongst other things.
We are based in London, serving the UK.
The business was created by Lavery/Pennell, consultants and innovators who are focussed on unlocking the value offered by more sustainable approaches to business (including remanufacturing).
