Tommaso, fighting noise pollution is one of the great challenges of the 21st century: According to the report Environmental Noise in Europe – 2020 from the European Environmental Agency, twenty percent of the European population is exposed to high levels of noise over long periods of time, which can damaging to our health. Buzzi Space is a Belgian company specialized in the design of acoustic solutions, specifically furnishings and partitions and lighting, especially for the office environment: what kind of products Buzzi Space provides to fights this invisible enemy?
Well, Alex, Buzzi Space was established in 2007, and since then we've been a pioneer for acoustic solution and all kinds of products that could both manage noise level, reduce the reverberation time, that technically is the echo feeling that we all experience when we are in close environments like offices, like theaters, like what is called like third “spaces”, so lobbies of hotels, airports and also in library, for example. So we provide a wide spectrum of products where we can absolutely improve and fight what is called, as a matter of fact, the noise pollution, because we are all very much aware and exposed on a daily basis to different kind of pollution, not only the air pollution, but fighting noise pollution is actually one of those situations where we are all becoming accustomed without even realize. So from the high tones that is specifically, for example, the ring of a cell phone to the low tones, for example, the one that you always experience in office and closed space, such as the air conditioning sound, our brain and our stress level is continuously challenged and continuously bothered by this pollution. We are definitely a multifunctional products, so we, as you said, we cover from lighting to furniture, from in ceiling solution to floor solution in order to create an environment that can create what we like to call the “healthy and happy workspace”. Since I started this journey in the world of acoustic and the world of design, we are expanding our boundaries: as a matter of fact, one of our main tagline, if you look it up on our social media, is no boundaries. We are expanding our range portfolio and we are entering now a since last 4 or 5 years, a lot of hospitality project, a lot of what we call high education, so University, secondary school and also to be able to offer a good level of well-being.
