Lately, we have developed a modular furniture system called VIVIWARE Panel and are looking for keen designers to help drive and push it into the market.

And it's on a mission to empower its users to be the builders of better spaces to live, work and play in. Together with an ever-expanding library of accessories, VIVIWARE Panel’s possibilities are endless.
