Companies choose custom-made office furniture because off-the-shelf products rarely match the real shape of a space, the way teams work, or a brand's visual identity. Custom furniture makes the most of every square metre, supports specific work processes and lasts longer, because it is built from quality materials and matched to one defined project rather than to a generic catalogue.
Heka Interior is the office-furniture brand of Hit Preless d.o.o. from Slovenia. We make our furniture in our own production facility in Medvode, where the company has been building furniture since 1986 and now employs more than 80 people. Because planning, production, logistics and installation all happen under one roof, we run the project from the first idea to the last screw. Our ergonomic solutions have equipped more than 1,200 workstations at NLB, and our references also include Triglav and Volvo.
What does custom-made office furniture actually mean?
Custom-made office furniture means the dimensions, materials, colours and configuration are adapted to a specific space and to a company's work processes, instead of forcing the space to fit standard products. It covers desks, storage systems, reception counters, partition and acoustic elements, and conference tables. At Heka Interior we design, build and install all of this ourselves, so the result is one coherent whole rather than a patchwork of different suppliers.
Why do companies choose custom furniture instead of standard products?
Companies choose custom furniture because it solves problems a standard catalogue cannot: irregular floor plans, columns and niches, specific work processes, and the need for a consistent brand look. Custom-built furniture fills the space with no wasted corners, supports the way teams move and work, and reinforces a professional image through chosen colours and materials. With a longer service life it is a safer investment than repeatedly replacing cheaper standard furniture.
- Full use of space, even with irregular floor plans
- Support for specific work processes and team logistics
- Alignment with the brand's visual identity and colours
- Longer service life and a lower cost per year of use
How does custom furniture improve the use of office space?
Custom furniture follows the architecture of a room precisely, so it uses the corners, niches and sections beside columns that standard furniture often leaves empty. This matters most in larger offices and commercial buildings, where every square metre has a cost. By coordinating the dimensions of desks, cabinets and partitions, the same floor area can hold more workstations without feeling cramped.
Why is in-house production in Slovenia an advantage?
In-house production means we have direct control over quality, materials and deadlines. Hit Preless has produced furniture in Slovenia since 1986 and employs more than 80 people, so when a project changes or extra pieces are needed, there is no reliance on outside suppliers. Having production close by shortens the path from plan to installation, makes service and later additions easier, and removes the risks that come with importing furniture from far away.
What does single-source delivery mean and why does it matter?
Single-source delivery means one partner takes on consulting, planning, production, delivery and installation. For a company this means one point of contact, one responsibility and one warranty, instead of coordinating between an architect, a manufacturer and fitters. At Heka Interior we combine these services, which shortens project timelines, reduces the chance of errors at the handover points between contractors, and simplifies any claims, because no one passes the blame on.
How does personalisation work at Heka Interior?
Personalisation means we adapt each piece to your choice of fabric, frame and base colour, configuration and, on request, your company logo. There is a wide range of materials and fabrics that we match to your brand colours or existing interior. This way the furniture is not only functional but visually ties the space into a whole that reflects the company image, from reception through to open-plan work areas.
Which custom solutions are most common for companies?
Companies most often order custom desks, storage systems and cabinets, reception counters, partition and acoustic elements, and conference tables. Furniture for hotels, educational institutions and shared spaces is frequently added too. We combine these pieces with ergonomic office chairs and sit-stand desks to create a complete workspace layout that is both functional and good for health.
How is ergonomics preserved with custom furniture?
Custom furniture and ergonomics complement each other well, because working heights, depths and spacing can be adapted to the actual users. Ergonomists recommend that the desk and chair be adjustable and matched to the user, so we pair sit-stand desks with ergonomic chairs that have good lumbar support. For more on choosing the right chair, see our guide on how to choose an ergonomic chair.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to make custom office furniture?
The lead time depends on the scope of the project, the chosen materials and the configuration, so we set it after reviewing the plan. Because we make the furniture in our own production in Slovenia and deliver with our own fleet, we have direct control over deadlines and align them with your move or renovation schedule. For larger projects we split production into phases so that fit-out follows the pace of construction.
How much does custom furniture cost?
The price of custom furniture depends on the configuration, the chosen materials, the quantity and the scope of installation, so we prepare it on request. After reviewing the space and your requirements, we provide a quote with a clear breakdown by item. As this is furniture with a long service life, it makes sense to look at the cost per year of use rather than the initial price alone. To get an estimate, reach us via our contact page.
Can you match the furniture to our company colours and logo?
Yes. You choose the fabrics and the frame and base colours yourself, and we can add your company logo to the products. This way the furniture matches your visual identity and existing interior, from reception to meeting rooms. We coordinate the full range of options in one place, so the result is a consistent, professional look that strengthens your brand.
Do you offer a free chair trial before purchase?
Yes. We offer a free 7-day trial of an office chair at your workplace. We deliver the chair, you test it in real working conditions, and if it is not for you, we collect it at no cost. This lets you confirm comfort and suitability before a larger order. You can request the trial on our free trial page.
