Our role
We were engaged to work with Nespresso, their architects and chosen local manufacturer, to develop the custom fixtures and furniture through our Quantum Zero methodology, to achieve the highest standards of sustainability from a concept that was already determined. Nespresso recognised the benefit of our Quantum Zero method drawing from the same BREEAM data used to evaluate the historic building in which the store is located.
Collaborating with the other stakeholders, we began by carrying out a deep review of the selected materials palette, recommending alternative materials where needed. We independently developed the fixtures into a technical specification pack which controls all aspects of manufacture affecting sustainability, while allowing Nespresso’s chosen manufacture the flexibility to construct fixtures to suit their factory.
The result
Being relatively new to Nespresso, our involvement hadn’t been considered at the beginning of the project. Working closely with the other parties, we found time for the process and delivered on-schedule with all items achieving the target Quantum Zero grade A.
“For the new flagship concept, Nespresso has collaborated with retail sustainability experts, Quantum4, to ensure sustainable furniture design”.
