A warehouse in San Francisco is a graveyard for Silicon Valley’s corporate furniture.
chair. These are just a few items that can be found at Remoov’s crowded 17th Street warehouse in San Francisco, which has become a graveyard for Silicon Valley’s corporate furniture.
Ever since the pandemic struck, the company — which mostly turns a profit by gutting and reselling fixtures from shuttered offices — has cleared out, and management says that their secondhand business has become an unlikely barometer for the city’s shifting commercial real estate market. Remoov was founded by Luis Perez, who developed the idea for the company when he noticed that his friends from Stanford had nowhere to dump their furniture every time they moved. Though the company has been around since 2014, business didn’t take off until 2020, right when COVID-19 took hold of the Bay Area and companies started going remote.
“We started selling a ton of standing desks,” says Soran Mofti, head of operations at Remoov. “We’ve probably sold three, four hundred in the past two, three years if not more.”Computer monitors, lower left, a whiteboard, upper right, and other office items for sale at the Local Flea, a consignment store, in San Francisco on Sept. 25, 2023.Computer monitors, lower left, a whiteboard, upper right, and other office items for sale at the Local Flea, a consignment store, in San Francisco on Sept.
