Legacy of Making
In order to create high-quality industrial products, we consider it essential to have expertise and skill incorporated at every stage of the production process. While modern industrial methods provide numerous advantages in terms of reliable and efficient manufacturing, it can be challenging to identify and appreciate craftsmanship and quality within this framework. Yet, we firmly believe that these principles are crucial for nurturing a strong legacy.
Responsible Manufacturing
We prioritize not only the materials we use and the quality of our products but also the way we produce them. We are dedicated to managing our workshops, production practices, and waste in an environmentally responsible manner. Our production line spans across Southeast Asia, but it is in our workshops in Hong Kong and Lativa where a team of skilled and passionate craftspeople form the heart of our operation. We firmly believe in the value of handmade objects and it is our mission to champion the craft and create a lasting legacy of making and makers.
Slow Design encompasses much more than just considering the ethical and sustainable aspects of production. It also entails contemplating the journey of a product post-production, how it will age, and how it will be integrated into our lives. Our furniture are thoughtfully designed to age gracefully, to acquire character as they are lived with, rather than deteriorating over time. By default, this means creating higher-quality pieces that can withstand the test of time. Unlike their cheaper counterparts, our furniture is not destined to break down or lose its appeal within a year of use. While our pieces may come at a higher cost, they eliminate the need for frequent replacements that come with opting for inferior alternatives.
Every purchase becomes an investment, not only in the skilled individuals who design and craft our furniture but also in the future of our planet. By choosing quality products that do not require frequent replacement, we actively contribute to reducing the waste that ends up in our landfills. We firmly believe in transparency throughout the entire production process, from manufacturing to transportation to sustainability. Consumers have the right to know how their furniture is made, and it is through this transparency that we set the standard for what true design represents.
Designing Beyond Standards
Our dedication to craftsmanship extends beyond materials and production methods. We select the finest materials, considering their unique qualities and their ability to age gracefully with use. By designing furniture that is flexible, durable, and timeless, we aim to create pieces that will withstand the test of time and adapt to the evolving needs and tastes of our customers. We intend to go beyond industry standards and create products that offer longevity, sustainability, and a timeless appeal.
