Brandbase: the recycled advertising agency

BySoti

BrandBase is an advertising agency in Amsterdam relocated to an empty canal house right in city’s historic center. The house was empty and needed some furniture. So, the agency in collaboration with Most Architecture created a sustainable, economical and of course creative working structure made out of 270 wooden pallets! Yes, 270 wooden pallets were built in such a way to construct from desks to stairs, sofas and mobile conference tables. The smart part of the project though, is that instead of reusing free pallets from scrap yard, the agency rented them so they will get the deposit money back when the pallets are returned! Brilliant!
