In the over 120-year-long company history, the specialization in office furniture is a relatively new development that was not originally envisioned. The trend was set in the mid-1970s with a dining table that was also sold as a desk. This hint was followed up in the early 1980s with Contur (by Heiner Gölz), the first program designed for the executive office. Here, the course was already set for the firm to become a major player with an international clientele. As is common in the industry and particularly in the Swabia region, the company would remain under family ownership. Since the 1990s, the design studio of Wolfgang C. R. Mezger has put its stamp on the product range, beginning with the furnishing system Tao (1990), whose key structural feature consists of upwardly tapering metal legs and which was later expanded into an entire executive program. It was followed by Cosmo (1992), with slanted legs and an amoeba-shaped table, and later the team workplace Telos (1998). In the ensuing years Hamburg designer Justus Kolberg realized a whole series of furniture groups, including the Verso management-level series and the O-shaped, intelligently linked Segno conference tables (both 2000), as well as the Tema team workplace program (2004), a keeper of order that fuses systematic design, fine craftsmanship and industrial rationality. In Kolberg’s Sono system (2006) clean lines and transparency find entrée in the boardroom. The studio Jehs + Laub has also created two new programs for Renz. Size (2004) consists of office tables of monumental simplicity and in Lane (2006) an Lshaped tabletop that is apparently bent out of a single piece is set atop a cabinet element, forming a flexible duo and demonstrating that clarity and softness do not have to be a contradiction.
