The Sustainability Edit: How to Pick Your Pieces Consciously

Conscious choices begin long before a piece enters your home, in its materials, construction, and the intention behind its form.

This guide explores four principles to help you navigate these choices, shaped by our approach to material innovation, responsible design, and furniture that truly lasts.

1. Start with Materials that Tell a Story

The journey towards conscious design often begins with what many would overlook: off-cuts, fibres, and industrial remnants. Choosing sustainable furniture made from reclaimed materials does more than reduce impact. It creates pieces that hold a narrative, where every mark and texture becomes part of your space’s evolving story. This commitment to authenticity is at the heart of responsible design and reflects how material innovation can transform the overlooked into something lasting.

Instead of discarding, we see potential. Our Lithic Series reimagines these by-products through Pesta Mosaico, a composite finish made of reclaimed paper, wood fibres, and metal filings, bound with non-toxic adhesives. The result is a tactile, quietly uneven surface that speaks to provenance rather than perfection.

2. Look for Design that Can Move and Grow with You

True versatility allows furniture to adapt gracefully to shifting needs. It offers flexibility not just in form but in how it lives within modern interiors. Our Ligo Sofa System exemplifies this spirit. Each module can stand alone or combine with others, responding to a growing family, a new home, or a different layout.

This modularity brings practical manoeuvrability and flexibility into your daily life, allowing seating, storage, or shelving to keep pace with your changing needs rather than being forced to discard it.

3. Choose Pieces Crafted for Repair and Renewal

The true test of responsible design lies in whether a piece can be refreshed, repaired, and remain part of your evolving story. When design accounts for future care, it transforms maintenance into an integral part of ownership, rather than an afterthought. Subtle choices such as accessible joinery, replaceable surfaces, and thoughtful construction ensure each piece can reduce waste and extend its stay in your home.

Pieces like the Lithic Lounge Chair balance sculptural form with materials designed to withstand the test of time, welcoming subtle refinishing or repair when needed. So instead of replacing, you renew, making a choice that honours both the maker and the materials.

4. Invest in Pieces That Outlast Trends

Luxury furniture can become sustainable when it transcends fleeting trend cycles. Look for designs where balanced proportions, gentle details, and honest materials quietly hold their place. The Nodo Coffee Table from the Oris Collection demonstrates this idea. Evergreen furniture pieces like Nodo become an anchor rather than an ornament. It moves with you through different rooms and lives, not by demanding attention, but by supporting the rituals of everyday life with quiet confidence.

By choosing pieces shaped by conscious design,  you can do more than furnish a space. In the end, picking your pieces responsibly is less about following rules and more about embracing choices that hold meaning for you beyond their appearance, resisting disposability, and gracefully adapting with you.
