sustainable roundups: 10 waste-based interior pieces for people and the planet
in sustainable roundups
A sustainable approach to design takes materials into close consideration: which materials are used and how is key to achieving truly responsible designs. Worth mentioning is the creative use of waste. In fact, waste is a mental concept, a categorization for materials that don’t have a use…yet. Moving beyond this mental limitation and embracing a circular design perspective, every single material can potentially have an application, we just have to unveil it.
In this episode of Sustainable Roundups, we’ll discover 10 sustainable interior pieces that are made out of so-called waste. Including a mix of furniture, light fixtures, textiles and accessories, the selection features materials ranging from organic waste and leather offcuts to discarded objects, and more…
All pieces are sourced from riivin, the fully independent sustainable interior design platform I curate.
Note: this selection is completely unsponsored and so is all the content you’ll find on riivin. The platform is proudly independent and lives thanks to the members’ area riivin+, which provides additional and exclusive resources to design more sustainable spaces.
