Etoile 2025: Shaping Space, Going Deeper

A year shaped by investment, research, and vision

In a company’s journey, some years mark a deeper step forward. Not a break with the past, but a natural evolution that reshapes what is possible. For Etoile, 2025 was a year of maturity. We strengthened and expanded our strategic direction, while reflecting more consciously on the true meaning of spatial quality. This led to a broader focus on perceptual well-being in interior environments, increasingly integrated with functionality and aesthetics.

The move to our new facility in Sant’Ippolito became an opportunity to redesign our production setup. The introduction of new machinery reshaped our internal processes, reducing reliance on external suppliers and increasing control over production phases that were previously outsourced. The installation of a 200 kW photovoltaic system turned our environmental commitment into measurable action. Every step followed the same principle: operational independence, higher quality standards, and greater time efficiency.

Technology: Rethinking the Limits of What Is Possible

Investments in new technologies were not simple upgrades, but a true expansion of our design potential. The acquisition of an aluminum machining center and a cutting plotter for acoustic panels allowed us to optimize production times and bring key processes in-house, improving creative freedom and quality control. At the same time, we strengthened our digital infrastructure with the implementation of 3CAD parametric software and a new management system, already delivering clearer workflows, faster operations, and fewer errors.

Growth requires vision, but above all, the ability to act. We improved our processes and invested in skills. Our industry demands precision and reliability, and on these foundations we continue to build.

Acoustics as an Ongoing Field of Research

In 2025, acoustics became a key area of methodological growth for Etoile. We invested significant resources in research, looking not only at the physical properties of materials, but also at how sound behaves and spreads within contemporary workspaces. This in-depth process involved designers, technicians, and specialized consultants, and led to the achievement of acoustic certifications that confirm the performance of our wall systems and E.Box.

At the same time, we are expanding our design approach toward a more comprehensive idea of acoustic comfort. The solutions planned for the coming year will include systems designed to actively improve the sound quality of interiors—reducing reverberation and enhancing speech clarity—responding to the increasingly complex needs of today’s spaces.

Within this evolving vision, E.Box plays a key role. It is not a standalone product, but an element that completes and connects our existing partition systems and collections. By strengthening the coherence of our design system, E.Box extends its applications and reinforces a project language that is already well established.

Expanding Our Markets

Our technological upgrades and acoustic research have led to tangible results on the commercial side as well. In 2025, we worked to open new markets, both nationally and internationally, exploring sectors where we had not previously been present in a consistent way.

The expansion into the United States proved especially significant. Partnerships with qualified dealers have begun to deliver concrete results, marking an important step in our international growth.

At the same time, compliance with Minimum Environmental Criteria opened the door to green public tenders, turning a regulatory requirement into a strategic opportunity.

The Year Ahead

2025 comes to a close with results that go beyond numbers. It was a year in which we chose not only to consolidate, but to redefine our scope. Technology, acoustic research, and international expansion: three interconnected paths leading toward a more advanced approach to spatial design.

In the coming year, the outcomes of this work will take shape in new products and solutions, addressing workspace comfort in a more complete and thoughtful way. At the heart of this evolution remains a fundamental question: how do we create well-being in the spaces where people work, meet, and live?

Our answer has not been a set of statements, but concrete action—through investment, research, and long-term vision. 2025 marked a turning point. What comes next is already taking shape.
