Low Environmental Impact
Minimising your environmental impact starts at the drawing board. During the design process, we calculate the environmental impact of different design and material choices through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). By doing so,we make decisions that ensure minimal CO2 emissions for our furniture.
When launching a new piece of furniture, we have the LCA calculations externally verified with an Environmental Footprint Declaration (EPD). Additionally, our Sustainability Sheets provide detailed information about material usage, making the CO2 impact of all our furniture transparent.

Circular thinking is in our DNA.
Friso Kramer, the iconic designer, first pioneered sustainable design by always looking at how things could be simplified—less frills, fewer parts, less material, fewer things that could break. Long before the term existed, we were already leading the way in circular design, with timeless products that can be endlessly reused. How do we do it?
To reduce waste, we use as many recycled materials as possible in our furniture. We also select materials that are suitable for endless reuse, helping to prevent the extraction of new resources.
Our furniture is used intensively indoors throughout the day. We therefore ensure that the materials are sound and durable. We test our furniture extensively in various ways. How do we do this?
