De akoestiekfabriek

The people behind ‘de Akoestiekfabriek’ (the acoustic factory) succeed in creating a unique design feast out of something that may at first seem rather dull, namely acoustics. They specialize in customization, coming up with an acoustical solution to every problem, all the while keeping an eye on their ecological footprint too. That’s why they surround themselves with likeminded suppliers and customers. They make a point of using healthy materials (formaldehyde-free wood, natural fibers) and of producing and working responsibly. To top it all off, they introduced a pay-per-use system, which comes down to paying for usage rather than for ownership.
Pay-per-use means that the client holds on to the company’s products for a limited time only. When the product needs replacement, ‘de Akoestiekfabriek’ simply picks it up again. The materials that are salvaged from these products are reused for other products that, in turn, find their way to new clients. When they’ve done their part, the items are collected again, and so the endless cycle continues.
