Would you have thought that furniture refurbishment works like this?

I usually write this newsletter in my home office. Today, instead, I'm on-site at our showroom in Cologne-Lövenich.

I'll take you behind the scenes and show you the exciting things I experience in a day at Revive!

The workday begins with founder Jonas and office dog Lupo picking me up at home in Bonn.

8 a.m.: Jonas and our Sales Advisor Lupo

Upon arrival in Cologne, we first stroll through the warehouse and check out the current refurbishments. Over 1,000 pieces of furniture are stored here, and a fourth warehouse is already being planned.

08:45 a.m.: First official act: Inspect a Bretz Cloud 7 !

Then, of course, I have to say good morning to another furry friend and visit founder Paul and his dog Sam in their office!

Paul proudly presents our Feel-Good Manager Sam

11:45 a.m.: Open problems are solved together at the “Daily” meeting

What I definitely won't miss is a visit to our showroom , where not only a great coffee bar but also the legendary Eames Lounge Chair awaits me!

Today, in addition to me, there are actually other freelancers here – they're taking care of the photo editing. Jonas is showing us live how the preparation starts as soon as the furniture arrives.

Afterwards, I'll recover from all the excitement in our lounge and write the newsletter here with a second cup of coffee.

Once a month, Revive hosts a get-together where all employees eat together, play games, and wind down the week together starting at 6 p.m. There was a lot going on again this month!

This concludes an exciting day at Revive. Feel free to visit us soon or schedule a viewing appointment online.
