Ahrend Balance

With Ahrend BALANCE we introduce a workplace program that highlights the Dutch Design Tradition that Ahrend is known for. The slenderness of the design, the stable construction and the cleaver integration of innovative techniques and usability make this workplace a real Ahrend program.
