Best in class solutions with the DESIGNER in mind

When collaborating with external dealers, design firms frequently encounter difficulties in sourcing furniture and design solutions that match their project vision. These challenges can cause delays and insufficient attention from the dealer, increasing the stress of meeting client expectations, adhering to timelines, and maintaining quality. Partnering with FRI provides design firms with peace of mind, as we are committed to investing in the project’s success and ensuring every aspect aligns with the client’s requirements.

Our History

At FRI, we understand the pressures of client budget constraints while maintaining design intent of today's interior designers, which is why we focus on PROVIDING SOLUTIONS instead of just selling furniture. With 27 years of experience in workplace furniture solutions, we employ highly professional and experienced designers who bridge the gap between design and functionality and understand the relationship of both form and function. Our expertise and commitment to excellence have been recognized through various awards and distinctions, such as being a Kimball International Select Dealer and working some of the largest companies and employers in the Austin and Central Texas market today.

Our Process

Step 1: We begin by defining the work scope, including plans and budgeting guidelines.
