It’s important to us to produce furniture that’s mindful of the environment throughout its life cycle. That’s why we design every product with longevity in mind. We manufacture our products with components that are easy to replace in the field if and when there’s wear and tear to fix or aesthetic updates to make. Components are recyclable whenever possible. And when a product’s life cycle does come to an end, we make sure they’re simple to disassemble for recycling.
