What Fairspace does

Fairspace SASU is a French sustainable office design and fit-out firm founded in 2020 and headquartered in La Courneuve (Paris region), operating as a SASU under RCS Nanterre (registration 890 073 331). It delivers turnkey (clé en main) workplace projects covering conception, 2D/3D space planning, furniture sourcing and installation, decoration, and construction supervision for surfaces ranging from 100 m² to 3,000 m². Its core differentiator is a circular-economy sourcing approach: a curated network of more than 115 furniture suppliers and 150 local partners is used to source reused, upcycled, and eco-designed furnishings, with 69% of furniture in 2023 projects coming from circular-economy sources and 821 pieces given a second life. The company adds a per-project carbon-impact measurement deliverable and a Responsible Leasing option for furniture rental.

The company monetizes through three revenue streams: (1) professional-services project fees on turnkey fit-out engagements, (2) transaction-style margin on furniture procurement through its supplier network, and (3) recurring subscription revenue via Responsible Leasing. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales across France, supported by SEO-optimized city-specific landing pages for Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Nantes, Bordeaux, Lille, Rennes, and Montpellier, content marketing (blog, downloadable guides, the "L'Œil Circulaire" newsletter), a Typeform-based budget simulator for mid-market self-serve, and direct public-sector procurement for government clients. It is funded predominantly through a €300,000 equity-crowdfunding round on Tudigo completed in January 2024 and operates with a 4-day workweek and a shared governance model.

Its customer base spans large enterprises (Société Générale, Manpower, Wavestone, Park Hyatt Paris-Vendôme, Société de la Tour Eiffel, Veolia/Hubgrade, SETEC), high-growth startups (Tudigo, Jellysmack, Vitamin Well, Greenly, Everdye, Pur Projet), coworking operators, and public-sector bodies (Ministère de l'Intérieur, IRA de Lyon, Andra, SIGEIF). Per firmographic data the in-house team is between 1 and 10 employees; project delivery is supplemented by an extensive regional partner and contractor network.

Direct peers

• Cycle Up: French circular economy platform connecting suppliers and buyers of reused building and interior materials. Direct peer given overlapping mission of enabling circular sourcing for construction and fit-out projects in France, though more marketplace-oriented than turnkey delivery.
• Tétris: European office design and fit-out firm with presence in France, offering turnkey workspace design and construction services. Direct competitor in the office fit-out services category, though less differentiated on circular economy sourcing.
• Kardham: French workspace design, fit-out, and real estate advisory firm serving enterprises across France. Comparable in offering turnkey office design services to large French corporate clients, though broader in scope including architectural and real estate services.

Broad incumbents

• Kinnarps: Major Nordic office furniture manufacturer with significant presence in France and pan-European distribution. Overlaps on the office furniture supply side, though operates primarily as a manufacturer rather than turnkey sustainable fit-out provider.
• Steelcase: Global leader in office furniture, workspace solutions, and workplace research. Comparable on the office furniture category broadly, though its scale, manufacturing focus, and dealer network make it a broad incumbent rather than direct competitor to Fairspace's sustainable fit-out model.
• Haworth: Global office furniture manufacturer and workspace solutions provider with European operations. Overlaps in office furniture supply and workspace design services, though operates at larger scale and through dealer channels rather than direct sustainable sourcing model.

Emerging players

• Mobius: French company specializing in remanufactured and refurbished office furniture for B2B clients. Direct peer in the circular office furniture space, though operates primarily as a furniture refurbisher rather than full-service fit-out designer.
• La Réserve des Arts: French nonprofit resource center providing designers and architects access to reclaimed and surplus materials. Adjacent peer in the circular materials sourcing space, though serves a broader creative community rather than exclusively office fit-out.
• Back Market: French-founded circular economy marketplace for refurbished consumer electronics and appliances. Comparable on the circular economy business model and French origin, though operates in consumer goods rather than office furniture or B2B fit-out services.

Regional players

• Camif: French eco-responsible furniture and home retailer offering sustainable furniture for both home and office. Comparable on the sustainable furniture sourcing mission and French market presence, though operates in retail rather than turnkey project delivery.
