Nowadays work environments change very fast. Where in the manufacturing industry a lot is digitized and automated, the office landscape changes continuously. Open plan offices, flexible workplaces and multimedia everywhere. This can cause a lot of noise nuisance, resulting in stress and overstimulation. It is not for nothing that acoustics are number 2 in the complaints about the working environment. That is why Ahrend has set itself the goal of bringing the silence back to the workplace.

Soundproof using custom hinges

With physical and acoustic sound barriers, they prevent sound from spreading further. For example, they work on sound booths/telephone boxes for open offices. These attenuate sound up to 47 decibels. For this they needed a glass door hinge. Of course we set to work to develop a hinge that closes the glass door as much as possible, so that sound cannot still escape.

Less is more

Royal Ahrend has been focusing for over 100 years on sustainable and timeless products that vitalise the working environment, so that human capital can make the most of it. with one of the most defining industrial designers, Friso Kramer, they focus on the philosophy “form follows function” and “less is more”.
