How INCH furniture is giving waste materials a second life | Friends of Friends & Impact Acoustic

When the founders of the multidisciplinary design studio INCH furniture, Thomas Wüthrich and Yves Raschle sought acoustic insulation for their offices on the banks of Basel’s Rhine River, they thought about sustainable acoustic specialists Impact Acoustic.
Reflecting on the evolution of their “eco-intelligent” approach to materials, Thomas and Yves took us back to the studio’s early days to trace the contours of a fortuitous partnership between two design studios who are setting new aesthetic standards for post-consumer waste. It begins just below the equator.
This interview was produced in collaboration with Swiss manufacturing company and sustainable design lab Impact Acoustic. It is part of an educational series that charts the evolution of Impact Acoustic and the creative possibilities of working with waste through the eyes of its founders and creative collaborators.
