Vision & strategy
As a designer, manufacturer and supplier of interiors and furniture we find it important to contribute to the circular economy. We do so by means of innovative design, sustainable manufacturing and by advising others on clever (re)use.
Ambition
Gispen is a leading innovator in the field of circular interior design. We take responsibility for our business operations by using as few raw materials as possible. From product design to return flows, we focus on (re)use and functionality; materials and components serve multiple functions and are reusable in our production process. We also involve our suppliers in the principles of reuse. We keep track of the products that are used by Gispen clients.
Joint efforts
A number of circular partnerships:
Firstly, Gispen was given the challenging task of furnishing the Triodos bank, the most sustainable bank of the Netherlands, with cleverly reused products and new sustainable furniture. Secondly, one in five products supplied to NS (Dutch railways) were refurbished. And, thirdly, the Municipality of Apeldoorn acquired cabinets from Rabobank that had become redundant, which after a thorough check-up and a new colour will last for another decade
