KRIVENS PARTNERS designs to reveal hidden wonder
We design spaces and furniture for workplace and hospitality leaders such as Genentech, ebay, the farmhouse inn, and bently enterprises. our focus is on creating experiences with deep emotional impact.
EMOTION + Science
Psychological safety and social network forces create the foundation for our award winning projects that satiate on an emotional level and give our clients a deep and ongoing competitive advantage.
prerequisite: nATURE
Nature is a prerequisite, not a perk in our lives and workplace. We champion a vibrant, body-engaged future where sufficiently advanced technologies are indistinguishable from nature.
story based design
Our self-initiated furniture projects always start with the salvage of a local monument. The results are series of customizable furnishings made real parts of the Golden Gate Bridge (and it's approach in the SF Presidio), SF-Oakland Bay Bridge, Presidio and SF Transbay Pilings, Fire Hydrants and New York City Skyline Water Tanks
