Sustainability

 

My ethos is to produce the highest quality furniture that is sustainable not only through material selection but by creating furniture that lasts and can be passed on through generations.

Timber is one of the most sustainable and environmentally favourable construction materials available. This is due to its; absorption of carbon dioxide while growing, adaptability as a product and recyclability or use as a biofuel.

To ensure that this remains the case - I carefully select my suppliers to ensure they are fully aware of their obligations with regard to the importing and sourcing of timber. Ensuring it is sourced from well-managed, credibly certified forests so that the risk of deforestation is eliminated. Illegal timber poses a real threat to the timber industry. It is therefore important that, collectively, we take responsibility for our part in the process.

I ensure that the practices of our suppliers do not contribute to illegal logging, violation of human rights in forestry operations and destruction of high-value conservation areas.
