The Space of Change
Sustainable Furniture for the Workspace
It would be great if… our working spaces
could be beautiful, sustainable, creative and flexible
but the current workplace is in
in the UK more than
1.2m desks are sent to landfill every year
kgrequired for every desk made
raw material
the work place is evolving fast
existing furniture manufacturers cannot
respond quickly to this need…
a brand new company is required
because…
adaptive, values led, lightweight, fleet of foot, life-supporting, life-enhancing.
They will be more fun, more inspiring.
in the future companies will be
different, they will be more
whether you are a company of 50,000 or five, how we work has changed – inflexible, non-adaptive, uncreative, uninspiring working environment are no-longer required.
Our purpose is simpleOur advanced paper engineering enables us to furnish enlightened businesses with beautifully craftedsustainable products, personal to each customer, with a no-quibble guarantee, rapid delivery, and end-of-use buy-back.
cradle to cradleour business model is built on sustainable enterprise:every fibre re-used
To make important changes we need to think differently about our world, what we use and what we throw away.
We need to think differently about how our every day needs are met what materials are appropriate, what processes will be sustainable, and at what cost.
Think
Change
We are inspired by nature
nature uses only the energy it needsnature fits form to functionnature recycles everything
so we make our products only from what nature gives us: 100% renewable fibres
Our driving concernsWhat we take, what we make, and what we waste
Renewable fibres made from wood pulp
and bamboo are the means by which we can create and re-create the future.
Again, and again, and again.
We don’t use MDF, environmentally damaging chemicals, only good stuff that
can be returned to the earth as a nutrient
or safely recycled.
We use only sustainable and recyclable
materials that are environmentally friendly.
We are inspired by brilliant design and high spec engineering that follows nature’s enduring simplicity, strength and form and we don’t do ugly either !
Innovation, Design
think of today’s standard office
furniture as the milk bottle before the arrival of TetraPak, or EncyclopediaBritannia before the arrival of Wikipedia, or the Cheque book before the arrival of the debit card
or let’s be honest, standard office furniture before the arrival of the FlutePRO® range
don’t let your office design dictate the
way you work - be the business you are meant to be.
