Our Approach

We have an abiding interest in harmony: harmony between people and objects, and harmony between objects and their environment. These convictions hold true for both aesthetic and environmental impact. We do not, and will not, ignore our responsibility. At the same time, we must acknowledge the paradox between industrial production and its environmental impact. It is a complex condition. When it comes to sustainability, how do you separate fashionable posturing from earnest solution? A complex condition requires a complex, thoughtful response and re-evaluation.

Global Environmental Project

Our global environmental policy is expressed in a company-wide philosophy shared by the entire organization. Our aims to minimize its environmental impact through programmes that involve every stage of our operations. The long-term project we've undertaken is inspired by a strong sense of responsibility which encourages people to find new solutions that are compatible with the environment. The objective is to set in motion a virtuous cycle which includes and can benefit the people who work with us around the world.

In addition to the studies that have led to obtaining the Norvegian EPD certification and the GECA certification for Australia, we have recently obtained the EPD® International System for allGinger table and for some versions of Team chairs and the Greenguard International certification for almost all our chairs collections.
