100% Sustainable
To create a really sustainable furniture piece and be able to manufacture it at scale, and not just another industry prototype, we had to think outside the box!
"What is the most sustainable material and how can we manufacture our furniture piece with it?"
Obviously, organic materials, derived from plants, are the most sustainable and eco-friendly materials. But how do we source it and create with it?
So we worked HARD to innovate and develop new manufacturing techniques that allow us to create with such materials.
And we found a solution: FLAX
What is FLAX and how we source it?
Flax is a sustainable and organic material, mostly know for being the plant of linen!
It all starts on eco-friendly Flax farms where each plant is harvested with precision, ensuring every fiber counts.
Then, our Flax is spun into luxurious threads, soft yet strong.
Woven by artisans, these threads become fabrics that tell a story!
Flax benefits:
- Renewable and Biodegradable:
Can be grown annually and is fully biodegradable at the end of its life cycle
- Low Environmental Impact:
Flax cultivation typically requires fewer pesticides and fertilizers compared to other crops like cotton
- Reduces Carbon Footprint:
Flax plants absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) during their growth, helping to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions.
- Durability and Performance:
When infused with bio-resin through composite processes, flax-based
materials can achieve the structural integrity needed for furniture
while maintaining sustainability.
- Versatility in Design:
Flax fibers can be processed into various forms, allowing for flexibility in design and shaping.
Award Winning Designer
Originally shared with the world in 2021, this elegant design is one of the most published and coveted designs from the Award Winning Designer: Deniz Aktay!
Over time, I figured out that good design means for his finding the right harmony between proportion, material, and functionality.
This goes with his demand for simplicity, originality, proper element joining, detailing and appropriate use of the materials involved.
The Studio and the Innovation
How exactly do you create this furniture piece with an organic fabric like Flax?
"Isn't it going to be soft?"
"Will it be strong enough to hold itself?"
"Why is no other brand doing it?"
Well.. that's exactly one of the disruptive innovations we bring to the market!
We were able to develop a new way of manufacturing furniture, in a sustainable way!
From Motorsport to Nautical and Aviation industry,
And using advanced composites techniques, that we commonly use to supply those industries.
