Our furniture is designed and crafted to stand the test of time, think heirlooms for the future. Every component is reusable or repurposable, so it never has to end up in a landfill and we design with the sizes of the raw materials in mind to minimise waste at each and every stage.
We use FSC-certified and PEFC-certified wood, sourced responsibly to protect forests and local communities. We also
prioritise buying our raw materials from British suppliers to keep our furniture miles down, to be more environmentally friend and support British industry.
From the start, we’ve focused on creating high-quality, durable pieces with quality reuseable materials. Where possible we use water-based finishes to reduce VOCs and ensure cleaner indoor air and we favour British suppliers for the hardwax oil and laquer finishes we use. We keep the 5 R's in mind at all stages - Reduce, Reuse, Replace, Recycle and Recover.
We minimise waste by repurposing leftover materials. Wood shavings are turned into animal bedding, and excess wood is recycled or upcycled. Plus, we partner with a waste management company that recycles at least 80% of waste.
We pack and deliver your furniture with recyclable and reusable packaging to reduce unnecessary waste. No excess plastic or Styrofoam—just the essentials to get your furniture to you safely.
We optimise delivery routes for maximum efficiency and are looking into electric vehicle partnerships to further reduce emissions. Every small step matters when it comes to sustainability.
1. Expanding Sustainable Sourcing:
We plan to work with even more local suppliers, reducing our furniture miles and keeping our carbon footprint as low as possible. The closer the supplier, the greener the impact!
2. Education and Transparency:
We want you to know exactly where your furniture comes from, how it’s made, and what impact it has on the environment.
3. Green Certifications:
We want to back up our sustainability claims with third-party validation. We want to make sure our practices are on point—and that you can trust we’re doing things the right way.
4. Fine-Tuning Waste Reduction:
We want to take it up a notch by incorporating even more waste-saving technologies into our production process.
