Scope de Andersen: sostenibilidad elegante

Nov, 2024 • 2 Min. Read

In the current landscape of furniture design, where sustainability is no longer an option but a necessity, Andersen's Scope collection, designed by Hans Thyge & Co, emerges as a shining example of how resource efficiency can go hand in hand with exceptional design.

Every detail of Scope tells a story of conscious innovation. Its construction, using extremely thin pressed wood veneer, represents a masterful exercise in the efficient use of materials: the chair uses as little wood as possible without compromising its strength. This approach not only responds to environmental concerns-evidenced by its FSC® certification-but also creates a light, elegant aesthetic that brings the warmth of nature into interior spaces.

But what really distinguishes Scope is its characteristic “stethoscope”, a detail that goes beyond the decorative. This small element, which functions as an architectural jewel, not only connects the frame to the backrest, ensuring its stability, but also offers the possibility of customization. As a versatile accessory, it allows to transform the expression of the chair: from a warm and soft presence to a more fashionista statement.

Attention to acoustic comfort is another highlight of Scope. The integrated felt pads under the seat are not just a detail: they improve the acoustics of the space by creating more pleasant environments and, practically speaking, protect the upholstery when the chairs are stacked.

Scope design, originally part of Randers+Radius and now integrated into the Andersen Furniture family since June 2023, represents a vision where functionality, sustainability and aesthetics converge in perfect harmony. It is a reminder that good design should not only look aesthetically pleasing, but also do good for the user, the space and the planet.

In a world where we are increasingly aware of the impact of our choices, Scope is a statement of intent: it is possible to create beautiful and functional pieces while caring for our natural resources. It is more than a family of chairs and stools; it is an invitation to rethink how design can contribute to a more sustainable future without sacrificing beauty and comfort.

This website is dedicated to all those people who, in one way or another, have helped this project/dream/desire to begin and take shape.

Special thanks to my wife and my parents for supporting me, to Cristina Escarrà and Alfonso Pérez Rosales for generously sharing with me their experience as agents, to those clients who, in one way or another, have given me wise advice, to the brands that have placed their trust in me, and to Gonzalo, my godfather, who, with his always generous help, and guiding me throughout this process, is largely to blame for the fact that I can boast of being an “entrepreneur”.

Thanks also to Nuria, Rafa and Guillermo, who, to help me in the hard beginnings of any entrepreneurial activity, have opened the doors of their home, let me share with them a bit of their personal lives when I pass through their cities of residence, and give me free accommodation.

Thanks to all!
