What is sustainable in furniture? / On the occasion of the publication of I’m home July issue
2021.08.30Being sustainable is important in any field, but what is sustainable in furniture?
In recent years, we have heard a lot about the SDGs, but long before these words were coined,
we have been using environmentally friendly materials to make our products and the products we make are also
environmentally friendly.
ePole is basically made of four types of materials: glass, aluminum, leather, and wood.
All of these materials are recyclable or made from recycled materials, so they do not harm the environment.
And also, ePole can be dismantled and reassembled over and over again,
which is possible because it is a combination of systematized parts rather than a built-in structure.
This means that not only is it good for the environment, but it also means that when you move or change your
layout,
you can move the same furniture or add new parts to it and keep using it.
We at GiGi want our furniture to be used for generations to come, just like the traditional Japanese paulownia
chests.
