Enky is a subscription-based furnishing solution for businesses combined with a participatory investment model. Our subscribers get to furnish their spaces without heavy investment and enjoy more flexibility for their changing needs. In parallel, investors can acquire the furniture leased, and receive a share of the generated revenue. As a result we prolong the furniture’s lifespan by maximising usage between multiple users. This helps us accomplish our mission to make furniture consumption more sustainable!
We currently ship and install throughout Europe!
If you have a project outside of Europe, please feel free to get in touch with us, and we will explore the feasibility of accommodating your needs.
The delivery time spans from 2 to 8 weeks, depending on your order and the specified timelines from our brand partners.
Second life items are ready for delivery within 2 weeks.
New items, crafted for customers upon order for sustainability reasons, are typically ready within 6 to 8 weeks.
Certainly, you have the option to add furniture during your subscription. However, please be aware that the addition of furniture will invariably result in creating a new order.
If you decide to include furniture shortly after placing your initial order, a new order will be generated.
Depending on the timing, we will make every effort to coordinate the delivery of both orders (order 1 + order 2). Consequently, the delivery date initially provided for your first order may experience a slight delay.
Alternatively, if you choose to add furniture at a later time, it will create a new order and will be processed accordingly.
The conclusion of your rental period varies according to the chosen formula:
For subscriptions, you have the option to either prolong the lease or opt for furniture return.In lease agreements, you can extend the duration, purchase the furniture, or choose to return it.
In circular purchase arrangements, should you no longer wish to keep the bought furniture, we offer the possibility of repurchasing it between 5 to 10 years after your purchase.
For now, we only offer our services to professional needs:
- Office spaces, like scale-ups, big companies, co-workings, staging, schools, medical centres...
- Hospitality projects, like hotels, apart-hotels, restaurants, bars, holiday homes...
- Real Estate projects, like furnished apartments, co-livings, stagings...
Delivery and installation are included in our standard package.
Yes, a deposit is mandatory when renting furniture with Enky. For companies, the deposit is equivalent to 3 months' rent. An exception is granted for new companies (less than 1 year old), where the deposit can be extended to the equivalent of 6 months' rent.
The deposit is due upon placing the order. The initial monthly payment must be made the day following the delivery and installation.
Depending on the formula you choose with Enky (subscription or leasing), your rental period can go from 1 to 6 years.
- Subscription formula: 12, 24, 36, 48 months rental periods.
- Leasing package: 60 or 72 months rental period.
For subscription and lease, your order will be processed upon the completion of your first monthly payment. Subsequent payments will then be automatically billed each month, either from a credit card or through SEPA direct debit.
For circular purchase, your order will be processed upon completion of the complete payment.
Your subscription duration cannot be shortened once chosen; it remains for the selected duration. When selecting your plan, if you are uncertain about the duration, it's advisable to begin with a shorter period and then extend if needed. If early termination is required for any reason, please reach out to us for further assistance.
Yes, of course! Please contact us before the end of your subscription.
When it comes to purchasing the furniture, you have two options:
If you initially selected the circular purchase formula, you bought our furniture directly. We have the option to buy the furniture back from you, between 5 to 10 years after purchase.
If you opted for the leasing formula, you have a buying option: at the end of your subscription, you will have the choice either to give the furniture back to us, or to buy it at its estimated price/value.
If you have opted for the subscription formula, purchasing is not available as an option. If your ultimate goal is to buy, we would recommend considering the circular purchase or lease formula instead.
In both the subscription and lease formulas, a Damage Cover is included. If you happen to damage the furniture during your subscription, please contact us via email, providing a detailed explanation of the damages along with accompanying photos and videos. Our team will then assess whether the damage is reparable or not.
- Normal Wear and Tear: Charges are not applicable for normal wear and tear, including slight scratches.
- Major Damage: For more substantial damage, our team evaluates repairs and replacements on a case-by-case basis.
A deductible of 10% of the damaged furniture's price is applicable in such instances, as outlined in the Damage Cover.
Renting furniture offers various advantages:
- Enhances flexibility by allowing you to adjust your furniture to ever-evolving needs.
- Preserves cash flow by avoiding major upfront costsv associated with purchasing furniture.
- Provides tax benefits, as the monthly lease payments are considered expenses, reducing taxable profit and subsequently lowering the amount of corporation tax payable.
When it comes to the design aspect, you have two options:
- either you already have a preferred interior designer and want to engage their services to design your workspace using our furniture,
- or we can put you in touch with an interior designer from the Enky community who we regularly partner with. We carefully match your requirements with the expertise of one of our interior designers.

Whether you're looking to refresh your entire furniture inventory or just specific pieces, we have a solution tailored to you. Our service includes the removal of all the furniture you wish to replace, which is then handed over to partners specialising in recycling or reconditioning parts. This is a paid option worth considering at the project's inception. Opting for this service not only streamlines your project but also makes a significant contribution to reducing furniture waste. We applaud your commitment to sustainability!
The subscription contract offers an alternative to traditional purchasing: it offers high flexibility and is budget friendly. Under this arrangement, you pay a monthly fee for using the furniture. Subscription terms are very flexible, ranging from 12 to 48 months.
The subscription cost is determined according to the quantity and type of rooms you select, along with the level of service you opt for. We curate high-quality, sustainable furniture, ensuring that our offerings consist of top-tier, durable pieces produced on demand in a more responsible manner. At the end of your contract, you have the choice to either prolong the contract, or give the furniture back.
The leasing contract is also an alternative to traditional purchasing. Under this contract, you pay a monthly fee for using the furniture. As subscription, it offers flexibility but within longer contracts, and with higher investment rates. Leasing terms are flexible, ranging from 60 to 72 months. .

At the end of your lease, you have the option to give back the furniture, or to buy it!
It you have a go-getter spirit, and eventually a crush on the furniture we offer, circular purchase is an option. As opposed to the two other contract types, here you buy the furniture at its full price, and become its owner. If at some point, you don't want your furniture anymore, we have the option to buy the furniture back from you (at a price calculated upon the time of use and the state of the furniture).
In this scenario, your furniture is priced at its full value, without any interest charges.
We advocate for a flexible and environmentally conscious approach to furnishing your space. Annually, the fast furniture industry generates over 11 million tonnes of waste, a concerning statistic. Here's how we address this issue:
🌍 Rent Instead of Buy: Opting for furniture rental provides immediate access to superior products without the need for significant investments.
♻️ Circularity and Product Rotation: Introducing circularity and product rotation into the furniture industry ensures that no furniture ends up in landfills.
🌐 Partnerships with European Suppliers: We collaborate with major suppliers in Europe who employ manufacturing processes that cause minimal to no harm to the environment.
🔄 Give Products a Second Life: Let's work together to give our products a second life and put an end to the fast furniture cycle once and for all!
We have meticulously chosen European brands, based on their renowned quality attributes, including durability, repairability, recyclability, environmentally friendly production practices, and the use of high-quality materials.
For your project, new furniture is crafted sustainably. Additionally, second-life furniture undergoes refurbishment after the completion of its previous subscription, making it eligible for reintroduction into our product range.
Prior to finalising the quotation, you will be provided with information regarding the delivery timelines for the selected furniture. We take the responsibility to ensure that these timelines are respected. The furniture is crafted with durability in mind for your furnishing project (upon order in most cases), and our strong understanding of our partners enables us to confidently guarantee the announced deadlines.
Enky handles every aspect of the project's furnishing, from furniture selection to installation and beyond (including repairs and maintenance). Depending on the client's preferences, Enky can take on the role of project manager, serving as a liaison between the client and the architect for seamless coordination.
Frequency of payment depends on the selected plan. You may be required to make payments on a monthly, quarterly, or upon contract signing basis, especially in the case of a circular purchase contract.
Based on the project's scope, we will collaboratively determine the most suitable approach for your teams during the fitting-out period.
Your designated Enky contact will serve as your point of contact and will oversee the follow-up, repair, and maintenance of the furniture.
Throughout your subscription period and beyond, a representative from Enky will be your primary point of contact.
