sustainable products.
Sustainability breeds innovation..
what’s more satisfying than a well-made piece of furniture?
A piece of furniture that is sustainably made.
It’s true that sustainability breeds innovation, and these brands are producing products that meet the demands of a circular economy.
green ambitions in furniture manufacturing: Origin.
Origin Furniture recognised the importance of moving to more sustainable methods of manufacture and procurement. That’s why they’ve recently increased the use of recycled PP in their poly chairs.
50% of the polymer used in all Origin’s chairs is made from recycled content and to bring the same rigid and durable product, they use prime glass to reinforce the chair. Post-industrial recycled PP is obtained from products that did not make it onto the shelves due to quality issues, and industrial waste produced from the manufacturing process. Instead of this waste going straight to landfill, it is ground up, remixed and up-cycled into Origin’s products.
from old jeans to contemporary furniture: Planq.
Yes, you read that right, from jeans to a chair. And not just jeans, we are talking army gear, coffee bags and old suits all made into chairs and stylish storage.
This innovative method of production comes from a brand called PLANQ, whose aim is to transform low-value materials and turn them into high-value interiors.
By embracing the circle design process, PLANQ is bridging the gap between contemporary design, sustainable innovation and environmental awareness.
The outcome: stylish furniture.
leading the way in sustainable innovation: Nomique.
Nomique has created some amazing pieces of furniture using recyclable PET bottles, biomaterials like Hemp and, in partnership with The Plastic Whale, using sustainably sourced oak for products like their Whale Table.
Nomique's products and operations comply with both the UK and European Health and Safety and environmental regulations. Through sourcing materials from sustainable points of supply and manufacturing the products close to the market, Nomique meets Western European regulations and laws concerning social responsibility.
focus on a sustainable world: Casala.
Casala aims to use as much recycled raw material as possible when producing its furniture, their seats and backs are made from 100% recycled plastic household waste.
They take steps in all areas that help to create beautiful and functional furniture with as little impact on the earth as possible. In doing so, they not only look at their own activities, they are also looking for the optimal circular working methods with suppliers and clients.
considering the impact upon the environment: Connection.
Connection’s Peacework boasts sustainable production using PET/ FELT materials derived from post-consumer waste sources. The PET surround sound is also 100% recyclable.
Connection consider the impact upon the environment throughout all of their processes, from the initial design of the product, through its manufacture and delivery, right up to disposal when it has reached the end of its useful life.

circular design using end of life steel products: Origin.
Steel is strong, inexpensive and recyclable. It is the most recycled material in the world, and whilst it may not be a new material it can be re-imagined into new forms, suitable for contemporary living. An Origin chair may have been a car panel, structural beam or hand rail.
Origin’s steel products are made from a combination 56% recycled and 44% virgin material. This is thought to be the most sustainable ratio, as demand for steel outstrips the amount that is recycled. Steel has been recycled for over 150 years and so long as the material can be easily separated the process is efficient, economical and CO2 efficient, cutting emissions by 58%.
