100 year plan

To build a truly sustainable company and make the biggest difference, we commit to:

1. designing longevity into everything we make, with consideration to material and aesthetic sustainability

2. choosing the best quality construction at every turn so our pieces remain as useful and robust as can be

3. creating finishes that become more beautiful over time

4. pursuing simplicity in everything we do – less is more on many levels

5. reducing waste by only making what is needed and holding minimal materials stock

6. eliminating the need for physical sample products and associated showrooms and travel

7.  supporting the repair, restoration, repurposing, resale, recycling and reclamation of our products

8. nurturing and passing on valuable craft skills while championing fairness, equity, diversity, and inclusion

9. considering nature with every purchase from top to bottom

10. encouraging optimism, regeneration and degrowth within our company and beyond

 

Contact us about RE-MC, our aftercare programme, which provides advice and practical suggestions for the care, repair, restoration, and resale of all pieces of our furniture and lighting. Ultimately, we will take back any piece for recycling or reclamation.

Our products

our hundred year plan

We are committed to developing a sustainable company that can support the full lifecycle of furniture made to last over 100 years, as well as our people who make and restore it.

Becoming fully sustainable means devoting our attention to a huge number of tasks but we believe our greatest impact is in making furniture to last generations, both materially and aesthetically. 100 years is our benchmark. We often handle furniture and lighting of this age, so we know that by starting with similar materials and techniques, we have the best chance of longevity. With the benefit of hindsight and technology, we will continue to push the boundaries of what's considered possible.

While quality is imperative and takes constant effort, we also strive for simplicity. Simplicity in design means furniture or lighting that transcends fashions, geography and time. It needs careful consideration and plays an often overlooked role in extending an object's lifecycle.
