The European Space Agency (ESA) chose TRIBOO to help with the circular design of various meeting rooms at their ESTEC site in Noordwijk in The Netherlands. Six meeting rooms were taken and given a sustainable transformation. ESTEC wanted to create an atmosphere that suited the innovative character and sustainable goals of the organisation.

Over 125,000 people visit the high-tech site every year, with their first meeting often taking place in one of six meeting rooms that were transformed by Triboo.



Marco Massaro, Head of Division at ESA gave some insight into the project: “ESA is engaged in research and innovation and an important part of the programme is that we look after and protect our planet. So this project is a modest contribution here on the ground to ESA's grand ambitions. ESA and TRIBOO set out to illustrate ESA's three fields of activity with suitable materials. These fields are land, the oceans and the atmosphere.”


“We chose this furniture because it was made from worthless waste that otherwise would have made an impact on our planet. Now they have become cool and fun furniture. All those thousands of employees and visitors who will use the rooms will see the story, and read it, and possibly be inspired to do the same.” Massaro adds.

What is special about this project is that all the rooms have been given their own atmosphere. This has been achieved by telling the story of the raw materials used for the furniture on a full wall. Together with a designer, visuals were created that stimulate the user of the space to think and inspire.

The project was completed in 2021.
