Spotlight: TAKT
Meet TAKT… innovative leader in designing furniture for people and the planet, and the #SeeingGreen Solutionist of the Day for May 29.
TAKT is a Copenhagen-based furniture company on a mission to redefine modern design with a strong sustainability ethos. Rooted in the Scandinavian tradition of functionality, simplicity and beauty, TAKT creates furniture that is timeless, durable and affordable. By working with top designers and using quality materials, TAKT bridges the gap between craftsmanship and environmental responsibility without sacrificing aesthetic appeal.
Sustainability is central to TAKT’s mission. The company is guided by their “Perpetual Sustainable Design” approach – aimed at breaking the “unhealthy throw-away culture around furniture.” Every product is designed for longevity, repairability and eventual recyclability. TAKT’s component-based design enables customers to buy spare parts to make repairs and extend the life of their furniture. Their pieces arrive flat-packed and can be easily assembled at home, reducing shipping emissions and making high design more accessible. With a commitment to circularity, TAKT offers multiple routes to ensure continued circulation of their furniture, including returning used pieces to the company.
All TAKT furniture has been certified with the EU Ecolabel and are produced using wood from FSC-certified sustainable forests and other material. The brand provides transparent carbon footprints of each of their products – covering materials, production, transport, use and disposal – and works to reduce emissions and compensate for what remains.
The company is a certified B Corporation and adheres to environmental and social standards across its operations.
Through these efforts, TAKT is pursuing its belief in bringing high-quality design to more people in revolutionary, sustainable and transparent ways. Their commitment to circularity and carbon transparency has made them a leader in sustainable furniture, offering a model for how great design can tread lightly on the planet.
