JANUS et Cie is an industry leader in design-driven furnishings for the outdoors, delivering nature’s inspiration to built environments to support connection, balance, and well-being. JANUS et Cie is committed to what’s next—not only in materials and engineering, but also in supporting the future needs of individuals and organizations.
JANUS et Cie’s journey began in 1978 in vibrant West Hollywood, where founder Janice Feldman opened the first showroom, initiating a venture that responded to the unmet needs of local customers shopping for furniture. Established in the center of the famed indoor-outdoor modernist architecture, JANUS et Cie identified a significant opportunity for growth and drove the demand for premium outdoor furnishings. This foresight and enthusiasm led to stunning expansion and the opening of award-winning showrooms around the world—with new flagships in Bethesda, Maryland, and London—continuing JANUS et Cie’s commitment to quality and design.
The transformation of JANUS et Cie from a distributor to an award-winning design company is a narrative of creative drive. Collaborations with renowned designers such as Philippe Starck and Patricia Urquiola reflect the commitment to innovative design. By 2023, JANUS et Cie had earned 143 juried product design awards, including multiple Red Dot and Good Design honors, each marking significant milestones in the journey of design excellence.
At the heart of JANUS et Cie has always been a robust company culture, a foundation that was elevated upon embracing Haworth’s corporate values. This cultural shift was marked by the formation of a voluntary DEIB committee, bringing together dedicated employees from across the globe, reflecting the commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.
Publishing the 2021 ESG report was a significant milestone, underscoring dedication to environmental, social, and governance principles. Perhaps most notable is the annual global student design competition, which opens doors to young, aspiring talents from 46 universities worldwide, fostering a community of innovation and design excellence. These steps collectively shape a future for JANUS et Cie where creativity, professional growth, and corporate responsibility are not just ideals, but the very pillars of the brand’s ethos.
