FLEXIBLE ACOUSTIC SOLUTIONS FOR INTERIOR - OFFICE - PUBLIC SPACES
The large product portfolio of the textile professional Gerriets continues to grow. Originally started as a textile wholesaler for theatre and stage equipment, the portfolio now includes complete curtain systems including track technology for cultural buildings such as the Elbphilharmonie, design projects with artists such as Olafur Eliasson and variable acoustic solutions for concert halls as well as office buildings. Because sound insulation is an increasingly important topic in daily life, whether in private, public or professional environments. Whether it is a matter of acoustically separating different work areas in modern offices or creating meeting islands, the OFFICE sound curtains ideally combine effectiveness, flexibility, aesthetics and appealing design.
Especially in modern office and working environments, it is important to design the room acoustically flexibly. This is where sound-absorbing acoustic curtains come in. The Gerriets OFFICE sound curtain provides a separation of up to 26 dB on average, allowing flexible quiet and meeting zones to be designed in a visually appealing way.
The roocs system will be presented as a brand new product at ORGATEC 2022. roocs, a neologism for "room curtains", consists of a free-standing support system for the tried-and-tested acoustic curtains, which lends any interior or open-space office a homely character and divides it into work, quiet or meeting zones. Without being connected to the ceiling or floor, roocs can be positioned in the room in a completely flexible way. By using the OFFICE sound curtain and the additional option of a sound-insulating ceiling, roocs offers the possibility of creating completely closed-off, sound-protected rooms for concentrated work, personal meetings or a quiet lounge area.
This wide range of applications for the Gerriets Interior Acoustic Solutions product range convinces architects as well as office planners and clients to use the variable acoustic solutions from GERRIETS INTERIOR ACOUSTIC SULUTIONS in numerous projects.
Made with the earth in mind
Sustainability is very important to us. When selecting the materials, this is something we pay a lot of attention to and therefore choose natural and sustainable materials in our products as much as possible. For example, we often use recycled glass and sustainable wood from France. Furthermore, we find it important to produce as much as possible close to home. This way our products do not have to be shipped all over the world, which is better for our co2 footprint and also better for the environment. This is why we choose to source all the glass we use from Europe. For the plants we work with the best growers from the Netherlands and Denmark with an MPS certification. This is a hallmark of sustainability.
In the Beginning
The founder of Growing Concepts is Kevin van Willigenburg. He started the company in 2014 with the goal of bringing more sustainable and low maintenance plants into the interior. After several years working at the auction in Aalsmeer, he found out that there was a demand for more innovation in the plant field and started selling terrariums. This turned out to be a great success and was the starting point for the growth of Growing Concepts! At this moment Growing Concepts still consists of a small but close team. After years of managing the shipping of the products ourselves, we now work together with a fine party that sends all packages to our consumers. With a team of four people we run the company from our headquarters in Haarlem. Over the years the collection has expanded from terrariums to a complete collection of natural interior products. Whereby the slogan; "Bring Life Home" must apply to all products.

LE KLINT Unique craftsmanship
The story of LE KLINT dates back to the beginning of the 20th century, when a hand pleated lamp shade was folded to fit a paraffin lamp both designed by architect and master of engineering P.V. Jensen-Klint.
A team of friends and family members worked hard to refine this new shade and in return, received one as a gift of gratitude for their time. 1943 was the year the Klint family handcraft became a real business led by Tage Klint. This allowed Tage to pioneer a new decisive detail to the lampshades in the shape of an elastic collar.
LE KLINT is known throughout most parts of the world for its unique craftsmanship and over the years has been awarded many honors including "Purveyors to the Royal Danish Court" in 2003.
We do our best to keep the lighting range continuously developed and modernized in accordance with today's technologies. We have always been happy to collaborate with architects and designers, who have great respect for our traditions and craftsmanship.
Today, we embrace the ingenuity of talented young designers who make a design statement that is cohesive with our DNA.

Midgard – lighting the way for modernism – since 1919

Midgard lamps are defined by their superior functionality, quality and design and found many admirer. Amongst them the architect Walter Gropius who used Midgard lamps for his private use as well as the Bauhaus design school in Dessau Germany.
With AYNO, the first design of a new Midgard lamp since the 1950s, the industrial designer Stefan Diez is testing the boundaries between origin and status quo of adjustable lighting. The collaboration manifests Midgard’s spirit of invention. 100 years of lighting history are continued as intended by Curt Fischer.
Midgard lights - adaptable to any work environment
Adapters and connections to all common office systems from well-known manufacturers (including Vitra, USM, bene, montana) were developed for the entire Midgard collection. In addition, the collection allows for a one-size-fits-all screw-on solution that can be used on any surface, eliminating the need for any adapter. In order to meet individual requirements, a bespoke adapter was recently developed, which enables installation without a visible cable on the desktop.
These tailor-made solutions allow the direct mounting and connection to office systems, office desks or carpenter's furniture with completely flexibly adjustable lights.
The connections and the direct integration into the planning are coordinated down to the last detail with architects, interior designers and lighting planners and then manufactured accordingly, since Midgard thinks and produces sustainably, with local suppliers and short delivery routes.

Materials for sustainable interiors
The increasing pressure for climate-friendly materials is now flushing the results of many years of research onto the market. A new industry is emerging with offers that fit perfectly into the concept of a circular economy. The biological cycle offers the greatest potential for innovation.
With all the protests for a climate-friendly policy in the context of the federal election in 2021, the “Fridays for Future” movement has reached its preliminary peak in Germany. And among designers and architects, too, there is a desire for a functioning circular economy and for products with reduced CO2 emissions and climate-neutral processes.
The young generation of designers in particular is looking for a new culture of materials and technologies for interior design and furniture manufacturing. If no product is available on the market for a specific problem, creative people become more and more proactive in developing their own solutions.
In the future, material technologies with positive effects on climate protection, supplemented by solutions with smart functions and in combination with digital applications, can enormously increase resource efficiency in design and architecture. Innovations are the focus of many users, who at the same time address sustainability dimensions and the perspective of increasing digitization. They thus have a decisive influence on the future of interior design. This applies to the design of modern working environments as well as to the object and hotel sectors.
