Sustainable furniture is a rising trend in the world of decoration. In this type of furniture, manufacturers and designers are concerned with making pieces that have the least possible environmental impact without losing functionality, design and beauty. Here are some reasons to bet on sustainable furniture to decorate your home.
Because of the origin of its materials
Sustainable furniture is made with materials of natural or recycled origin. The wood< /strong>, bamboo, natural fibers, steel… are some of the most present in sustainable furniture design. These raw materials have a much lower ecological footprint than other materials.
Because of its manufacturing process
Although sustainable furniture is not necessarily about furniture made entirely by hand, it does tend to include a large part of manual processes in its manufacture. They are carefully made and paying close attention to detail to obtain quality pieces. In addition, a great commitment is made to achieve finishes that are as natural as possible, that respect the raw material as much as possible and enhance its beauty.
Because of its careful design
Sustainable furniture is always very well thought out to fulfill its function well and to be durable. In this furniture sector, there is usually a great commitment to innovation, both in techniques and materials, and aesthetics is also another fundamental point. A sustainable piece of furniture must be beautiful and functional.
For its durability
Sustainability implies not wasting our resources, which is why sustainable furniture must be durable and not break at the first opportunity, because that would mean having to replace it and therefore more environmental impact. The use of natural materials increases their useful life and also allows the possibility of recycling them when they run out of steam.
For its respect for the environment
The natural materials used to create sustainable furniture are usually abundant in nature or easily renewed, so they do not deplete the planet’s resources. In addition, many of them usually have certificates that accredit a sustainable exploitation of the same, such as the seals FSC or PEFC in the case of wood. Other materials, such as those of recycled origin, reduce the waste we generate significantly.
Other actions taken by the companies that manufacture this type of furniture can also contribute to respecting the environment. At SIKU Concept, for example, we plant 3 trees for every table you buy.
