sustainability
We make timeless furniture of lasting quality. Our take on sustainability underlines this belief.
how
Circular Pool
We take back everything we have ever made. Furniture that still meets the functional, safety and quality requirements gets a second life, through reuse or rental. What doesn't, we take apart and recycle. Prefer to rent? A furniture subscription keeps your project flexible. Ask about the Circular Pool →
Made to last
The most sustainable chair is the one you never replace. We make timeless furniture of lasting quality that stays in use for decades. Every product has a unique number and a product passport: what it is made of, when and where it was made, and which spare parts fit. Every passport is free to download from our library.

Made close to Breda
We don't run our own factory. For each project we choose the right partner, all within an hour of Breda, so nothing is overproduced and transport stays short. Where we can, we work with social workshops. Our own trucks combine deliveries and pickups, and furniture travels in blankets instead of plastic. Visit Breda →
Materials and energy
Recycled material wherever we can, like This Chair and This Bucket Chair in 100% post-consumer plastic. Otherwise certified wood, traceable raw materials, and plastic only when there is no alternative. The solar panels on our Breda building produce more electricity than we use. Since 1999 our clients can plant a tree for every workstation they buy, and we are certified to ISO 14001. See Richard Hutten →
