What Konform does

Konform AG is a Swiss full-service provider of bespoke spatial communication, custom object construction, and interior fit-out, organized around three service categories — Raum (Space), Objekt (Object), and Dekor (Decoration) — and served by a multi-disciplinary in-house workshop. Founded in 1997 and headquartered at Landquartstrasse 97, Arbon, with a secondary planning office in Wetzikon, the company operates from approximately 4,000 m² of production facilities spanning carpentry/joinery, metalwork/locksmithing, painting, theatrical and trompe-l'oeil scenographic painting, industrial lacquering and spray finishing, electrotechnical installation, and floristry. Production capability ranges from hand-crafted individual pieces to CNC-machined serial work, with flagship technical demonstrations including the OASIS Pavilion at EXPO Doha, a Guinness World Record structure built from a fully 3D-printed shell.

The firm delivers both permanent architectural fit-outs (e.g., a ~1,100 m² medical clinic for Pallas Kliniken, a 340 m² Smart Home installation for SwissRE's AGM, a three-floor experience world for IWB Basel) and temporary event installations (e.g., Emil Frey's 100th anniversary at Swiss Life Arena, Breitling at Geneva Watch Days 2024, Koch Group's 77th anniversary at Hallenstadion Zürich). Customers are predominantly Swiss and international enterprises across healthcare, luxury watches (Breitling, TAG Heuer), banking (Raiffeisenbank Uster, Basler Kantonalbank), energy (CKW), automotive (Emil Frey), museums (FIFA Museum, Schloss Rapperswil), and government (Qatar MCIT). Revenue is generated through project-based, quote-driven contracts for individual deliverables, sourced via direct enterprise engagement, repeat clients, referrals from the Messerli Group sister-company network, and active participation at trade shows (Igeho/Messe Basel, Baselworld, Geneva Watch Days, EXPO Doha). Konform AG is a privately held subsidiary of the Messerli Group, jointly led by managing director Patrick Hadorn and head of interior architecture development Stefan Stettler.
