For life: The first sustainable, circular economy, modular sofa

INCREASE SIZE, CHANGE COLOUR & REPLACE COMPONENTS OVER TIME - ALL WITHIN THE CICULAR ECONOMY

WORDS FROM FOR LIFE:

The world’s resources are finite, and the current linear economy cannot sustain the consumption any longer. The constant production of new goods uses scarce resources and produces harmful greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming.

Now is the time to act! Up to 80% of a products environmental impact is determined during the design phase. It imperative that we start implementing circular design methods into all of our products to create a more sustainable future.

​By listening to users, we have identified the primary reasons for sofas being disposed:

  • Wear and tear

  • Moving home - difficult to transport or doesn't suit new living situation

  • Lack of customisation - users wanted change in colour/material/style/size
