Sustainable Ranges
We understand how important it is to take care of the planet in every aspect of living. That’s why we stock furniture and accessories made from sustainable materials such as reclaimed timber, sheepskin, and wicker and rattan.
Reclaimed wood is one of the most sustainable materials used for furniture and is generally more sustainable than virgin wood. It extends the lifespan and carbon sequestration of already used wood, reduces the need to cut down forests, and has relatively short transportation distances and low manufacturing emissions.
When you choose furniture made from reclaimed wood, you are helping the environment because they are basically recycling old wood, which in turn prevents the need for further trees to be cut down. Reclaimed wood is often not only harder and more durable than fresh lumber, but it also doesn't easily shrink or warp because it has been dried and treated. Reclaimed wood reduces the devastating impact of deforestation, keeps valuable resources from being landfilled and thoughtfully repurposes wood that has been deemed unworthy.
Meanwhile, the beautifully soft material of sheepskin is a renewable and sustainable option because of its natural origins, making our sheepskin rugs the perfect environmentally friendly accessory for any living room or bedroom. As if this wasn't enough, sheepskin is also a great insulator so will help you keep warm in the cooler months but will also absorb some of the heat through the floor during the Summer to stop you from overheating.
Likewise, our wicker and rattan garden ranges are naturally sustainable due to being created from willow. This natural sustainability is enhanced by willow's resistance to disease which means that it needs very few chemical treatments. These plants are swiftly renewing materials, so not only do they grow quickly, but they also require very little fuss or intervention in the growing process. In fact, the lack of resources needed to grow and harvest these materials is one of the main reasons wicker is sustainable!
