We apply 7 layers of quality in our work:

• Selecting good condition, brand-name furniture for refreshing/remaking with timeless aesthetics, durable components and great ergonomics like Vitra, Orangebox and Senator
• Using materials from leading suppliers like Camira, Egger and Kronospan
• Using the latest precision equipment for flawless finishes
• Developing new eco-friendly techniques to restore surfaces
• Applying rigorous processes including testing and inspection
• Grading to strict A+, A and B standards to meet customer needs and budgets
• Warranting our parts and workmanship

We are so confident in the quality of our furniture we offer to buy it back when you no longer need it.

Remade is good

Remaking (or remanufacturing) takes long-life elements from a used item (e.g. metal frames), checks & resurfaces them, and then rebuilds the piece around them. The result looks and performs as-new, but at a significant cost saving (both economically and environmentally).

Kyocera, Ricoh, Fuji and Xerox remanufacture their photocopiers. Caterpillar’s remanufactured engines are trusted by mining companies and armies.

We believe that every workspace can and should be beautiful, sustainable and lower cost. Rype Office exists to make this easy for customers.

We know that sustainability creates substantial business benefits for us too, so we work towards the inherent full sustainability potential of each activity that we do.

For example:

• We reuse, repair and remanufacture furniture, which has a lower environmental footprint than recycling, waste to energy (i.e. burning) and landfilling. This also reduces our costs and allows us to price so that customers can afford high quality furniture.
• Remanufacturing furniture is ideal work for those facing the greatest barriers to employment. So for large projects where a meaningful period of employment can be provided, Rype Office takes on disadvantaged staff. Eight long term unemployed with disabilities were engaged for a three month project in Wales, creating an employment pathway that resulted in three of these staff finding full time positions at the end of the project. This also moderates our labour costs and helps us to win projects through the Community Benefits that we generate.
• For reclaimed carpet tiles, Rype Office has partnered with Greenstream Flooring, a social enterprise creating vocational training for long term unemployed in impoverished Welsh valleys and with a mission to provide flooring to low income households. Reclaimed carpet tiles cost less than new, improving margins and affordability for customers.
• For the box frames in sofas which need to be made new, Rype Office sources from the Merthyr Tydfil Institute for the Blind, channelling expenditure to aid those with disabilities while increasing the profile of MTIB through Rype Office’s marketing activities.

Serve the UK from our base in London, we hope to grow internationally to profitably create positive impacts in other countries.
