For us, sustainability is not a buzzword, but an attitude we have passed down through generations and hold in high regard. This mindset has ensured that we have remained consistently active in the same market for five generations in a row!. Everything we do is driven by a long-term vision.
As furniture makers, we produce the most sustainable type of furniture: pieces that last for generations. In the worlds of education and business, sustainable investment stands not only for good management but, above all, for a lasting commitment.
Because everything is interconnected. There is no responsible wood without sustainable forest management, no long-term collaboration with clients without nurturing relationships, and no strong team without a long-term vision and respect for people. Our sustainability report demonstrates how we focus on sustainability in every facet of our operations.
Given our focus on sustainability, the move towards circular practices is a logical next step. Our ‘School furnishing as a service’ model is clearly explained in this 2-minute video.
Looking for inspiration? If you would like to hear directly from our clients about how ‘as a service’ projects work, watch one of our testimonial videos.

Our furniture has always evolved alongside educational trends and is of exceptionally high quality. It is no wonder, then, that alongside our new designs, ‘old’ Dox Originals® can still be found in almost every school in Flanders—some even over 100 years old.
These old pieces of furniture are still in good condition but often no longer serve the same practical function as their contemporary counterparts… so it’s time for action!
Take a look around your buildings, because there is something to be gained. In exchange for these ‘old’ Dox Originals®, we offer the school a purchase voucher.
Dox has developed a tool to analyze the school’s existing furniture and assess its potential for reuse. As experienced furniture specialists, we create opportunities for an optimal and practical mix of existing and new furniture—tailored to the school’s needs and budget.
“With the combination of the refurbished materials we already had and the additions from Dox, we were able to create truly fantastic classrooms.”
