What Open Office S.a. does

Open Office S.a. is an Argentine privately-held company dedicated to the design, installation, and supply of corporate workspace equipment, operating entirely within the Buenos Aires market from a single showroom at Av. del Libertador 6343. The company operates as the exclusive representative in Argentina for Steelcase, the leading American office furniture manufacturer, and complements that core distributorship with distribution agreements for Sunon (workstations, height-adjustable desks, pods, lounge furniture) and Voxflor (modular carpet tiles and LVT flooring). Beyond third-party brands, Open Office has developed its own proprietary product portfolio spanning the LESS and IN PLACE workstation systems, the FATTIE table line (Bar, Coffee, Lounge), the WEIMAR collaborative table, the JUNGLA table range, the ECO storage line, and the VIEW floor-to-ceiling partition system, allowing it to cover the full workspace fit-out lifecycle from seating and surfaces to storage and partitioning.

The company's revenue model combines hardware sales (distributed and proprietary furniture and flooring) with professional services including design consulting, workspace needs assessment, asset management, installation, reconfiguration, and post-sale service. Projects are quote-based with no public pricing, and the go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales supported by showroom visits coordinated by appointment. The customer base is concentrated in large corporate enterprises, with named engagements spanning technology (Google, Microsoft, IBM, AppDirect, MediaMonks, Ciena), consumer goods (L'Oréal), financial services (Mastercard), electronics (Macroled), and manufacturing (Oracal). Notably, the input data carries a conflicting founding date: firmographics cite 1996 while the company website copyright and company history block both indicate 2017; the more specific first-party source is 2017 and is adopted here. The firm operates with 11-50 employees and has no public funding, no parent company, and no disclosed revenue.
