we are functionals. we organise spaces with unobtrusive and functional design that lasts a lifetime. together with talented designers, our family company develops products that excel in simplicity, craftsmanship and sustainability. many of our products are manufactured in our own factory in goirle and come with a 25-year guarantee.
We prefer to work locally. This keeps us very flexible and is better for the environment. We are extremely proud that we manufacture half of our products in-house. A close-knit team of enthusiastic craftspeople work in our own factory in Goirle, making coat racks and entrance hall accessories. Above all, they can repair damaged products and give them a second life. Our suppliers are located near to us too: 80% are within a 100km radius. This way, we can adapt quickly and it is better for the environment.
Since our family firm was established in 1972, we have had a preference for honest, sustainable materials. We have a soft spot for powder-coated steel and aluminium — robust materials that last a long time and are simple to recycle. That’s why we offer an impressive 25-year warranty on many of our products.
We are also FSC certified and actively contribute to the transition to a circular economy by continuously improving how we design, produce, and reuse.
For the design of our products we join forces with top designers from around Europe. Designers who love making things, just as we do. The result: functional, well-thought out and sustainable products. Always reduced to the essence and almost indestructible.
That we are a family firm, is noticeable on the work floor. We cherish our relationships with our employees and believe it is important that everyone feels at home at Functionals.
So we pay a lot of attention to a healthy, inclusive and inspiring working environment. A working environment that contributes to the welfare and personal development of our people. And where there is space for all sorts of backgrounds and talents.
People stay with us for a long time, many of our employees have been part of the Functionals family for more than 12.5 years!
