New supplier Ahrend: home office furniture is available to order again

Radboud University has a new contract partner for circular furniture: Ahrend. Following the withdrawal of Workbrands – which, despite good results in the area of sustainability, faced declining turnover due to cutbacks in the education sector – Ahrend is the successor for both home office furniture and furniture and fittings on campus. Ahrend also employs several in-house interior designers who can be called upon for projects. For relocations, the university will continue to work with Convoi.

Home workspaces are available again

During the transition period, it was temporarily not possible to order home office furniture. You can now submit new requests via BASS again.

Ahrend stores returned home office furniture in its own warehouse, so that it can be dispatched immediately in response to new requests. This reduces logistics movements and benefits both efficiency and sustainability.

Circularity remains a top priority

The contract with Ahrend is based on the same circular terms and conditions as the one with Workbrands. The university’s target is to supply at least 90% circular furniture, a target that was already comfortably exceeded in 2025, with 98.3% of furniture being circular.

Would you like to get an idea of the refurbished furniture available? Ahrend has a web portal where you can take a look. To do so, create an account via ahrend.com/nl/mijn-account/ using the webshop code circulaire-hub-klantportaal.

Order

The ordering process remains the same: you can order furniture for the campus using the form on website, and you can order home office equipment via BASS.
