Since 1957, teo jakob has shaped the design culture of western Switzerland. Covering 1,500 m², the showroom in Geneva-Carouge brings together designer furniture, lighting design, textiles and acoustic solutions for both private and commercial spaces. International brands and Swiss manufacturers are represented. One of the largest USM selections in Geneva, the Occhio Gallery and extensive sample libraries define the centre of competence for design in French-speaking Switzerland.

Distinctive Characteristics

Showroom

Covering 1,500m², the showroom in Geneva-Carouge unites premium designer furniture with bespoke lighting concepts, tailored textiles and acoustically optimised spatial solutions. Designs by USM Haller, Vitra, Cassina, Minotti, B&B Italia, Fritz Hansen, Knoll International, Occhio, Porro, Mute, Wilkhahn and over 200 other international brands define the offering.

Second Cycle

With «Second Cycle», teo jakob is strengthening the circular economy. USM furniture from second-hand sources is inspected, cleaned, refurbished, and offered as certified USM pre-owned configurations. Modules that are no longer needed elsewhere are given a second life, as standalone pieces of furniture or as additions to existing USM configurations. Second Cycle offers private customers and businesses in Geneva a premium, durable and sustainable alternative to buying new furnishings.

Mute Room-in-Room Systems

Using Mute, teo jakob creates acoustic solutions for open-plan work environments. The Mute Modular system allows room-in-room pods, panels, and partitions without structural modifications, which can be moved or expanded without tools. Lighting, ventilation and power are always integrated. In combination with carpets, curtains and acoustic wall panels, retreat spaces are created for focused work, confidential conversations or hybrid meetings – ideal for the dynamic requirements of companies in western Switzerland.

Le Lab

«Le Lab» is a spacious materials library for architects, interior designers, developers, and private clients. Fabrics, leather, carpets, as well as wood, stone and metal surfaces can be combined and captured in material collages. Textile and material experts provide support with bespoke curtains, upholstery, carpets and surfaces in terms of lighting conditions, acoustics, care and fire protection. Samples can be inspected directly in the showroom or borrowed for projects.

Dressing Rooms

At the Geneva-Carouge location, teo jakob stages dressing rooms as a walk-through interactive experience. Complete solutions are showcased holistically in the showroom – from storage systems and front panels to interior fittings, lighting, and materials. The dressing room area allows the direct comparison of layout, feel and design. The diversity demonstrates how flexibly dressing room solutions can be adapted to space, everyday needs, and organisation, providing a sound basis for decisions in private and commercial projects in Geneva.

Swiss Design Studio

The Swiss Design Studio presents selected Swiss designs such as ceramics, lighting, small furniture and accessories by young talent and established designers. The platform showcases the diversity of Swiss design and connects local perspectives with the international brand offerings in the showroom. Swiss manufacturers such as Zoom by Mobimex, Lehni, Thut, Röthlisberger, Baltensweiler, Wogg, Embru, Horgenglarus, Dietiker and Girsberger shape the product range, often with the Made in Switzerland label. Short transportation routes, certified woods and durable constructions allow for contemporary furnishing solutions for residential and business customers in Geneva-Carouge.

USM Showroom

teo jakob opened the world’s first USM showroom in 1972 and now features one of the most comprehensive USM exhibitions in Western Switzerland, in Geneva-Carouge. Anyone wishing to buy, expand or configure a USM shelving system will find all colours, modules and accessories. Consultation includes planning, visualisation, quotation, delivery and assembly, from the USM sideboard in the lounge to large USM office and shop solutions. Existing installations can be expanded, reconfigured or adapted for new usage scenarios.

Minotti

teo jakob presents Minotti in Geneva-Carouge as a carefully curated living environment. The presentation showcases sofas, armchairs, tables, rugs and accessories in interplay with each other, making proportions, materials and comfort directly tangible. Anyone wishing to configure or add to their Minotti furnishings will find a wide selection of upholstery options, leather qualities and surfaces. The consultation includes planning, visualisation, quotation, delivery and installation, from individual statement pieces to holistic residential and project solutions. Existing Minotti ensembles can be expanded, recombined or adapted to changing room settings.

Art

The showroom sees design and art as part of an interrelated dialogue. Works by Franz Gertsch, Meret Oppenheim, Markus Raetz or Balthasar Burkhard have been, and continue to be, an exchange between furniture and light. Design gallery exhibitions at teo jakob, such as «Super Normal» with Jasper Morrison or the first Eileen Gray retrospective in Switzerland in 1982, have shaped the design history discussion for years. Today, younger designers such as Florian Hauswirth, Jörg Boner, Peter Fink, Søren Henrichsen, Moritz Schmid and Guy Meldem are also being showcased.
