Materials and Finishes: Why it matters
Responsibly sourced, long lasting and low-impact materials
We’re committed to using the most sustainable materials available — prioritising those that are responsibly sourced, long-lasting, and low-impact. Where possible, we select materials that can be repaired, refurbished, or recycled, supporting the full lifecycle of our products. We also know that innovation doesn’t stand still. That’s why we’re always exploring new and emerging materials that could help us reengineer our furniture to be even more circular, adaptable, and environmentally responsible.
Fabrics and Finishes
Fabrics:
We specify Australian made fabrics, natural fabrics and fabrics made
from post
consumer / post industrial recycled materials that are all designed for
durability and long-term use
What this means:
Laminates and Veneers:
We use FCS certified Laminates and Veneers
What this means:
Resource efficient: Maximises yield from each tree
Reduces pressure on old-growth or slow-growing species
Makes better use of forestry byproducts and lower-grade timber
Reduces material waste: Less waste during manufacturing
More consistent yields and efficient use of raw materials
Enhanced durability and lifespan - increases the lifespan of furniture in high-use settings like offices or schools
Reduces the need for refinishing, repair, or replacement
Enables refurbishment instead of full replacement
Extends the useful life of the product
Helps reduce the overall environmental footprint of furniture manufacturing
Supports lower-impact material choices aligned with sustainability goals
Sustainable bamboo:
Ultra-durable fused strand bamboo fibre that is renewable, recyclable and biodegradable
What this means:
Woolpack:
A biodegradable material made from wool fibres that are too fine or short to be spun into textiles — a byproduct of the sheep’s wool industry. These microscopic fibres are otherwise considered waste, but they’re repurposed to create a natural, compostable lining commonly used in packaging
What this means:
Diverts waste from landfill
Makes full use of the existing wool supply chain
Adds value to an agricultural byproduct
No lasting environmental footprint
Safer
alternative to synthetic packaging foams or plastics
Can be composted at end of life
Reduces reliance on fossil fuel-derived insulation and packaging
Supports agricultural systems already in place
Naturally non-toxic and breathable
Reduces need for synthetic insulating foams
Strengthens regional supply chains
Reduces transport emissions compared to imported synthetics
Aligns with circular economy principles by looping in waste streams
Replas (Recycled plastic substrate)
Replas is a range of durable products made from recycled soft plastics, such as plastic bags, food packaging, and shrink wrap — materials that are typically difficult to recycle and often end up in landfill. By transforming post consumer plastic waste into useful, long-life products
What this means:
Reduces the volume of plastic going to landfill
Gives hard-to-recycle plastics a second life
Cuts emissions and energy use associated with manufacturing virgin plastic
Lowers environmental footprint of infrastructure and furniture made from plastic
Helps close the loop on plastic production
Engineered timber:
Engineered timber is a real wood product made by bonding multiple layers of wood
together, often with a top layer of hardwood veneer. It's designed to offer the look and feel of solid wood while providing enhanced stability, affordability, and resistance to warping and moisture
What this means:
Reduces waste by using wood that would otherwise be discarded
Makes efficient use of smaller or lower-grade logs
Reduces deforestation
Allows
for lighter, stronger designs using less material
Ideal
for commercial and high-use environments like offices or education spaces
Minimises defects, warping, and inconsistencies found in solid timber
Improves efficiency in fabrication and material planning
Supports scalable, low-waste manufacturing processes
