At DBE.FURNITURE, our commitment to eco-efficiency is exemplified through our choice of materials, with a particular focus on aluminium. Known for its exceptional sustainability credentials, aluminium is a cornerstone of our material strategy. Our use of this 'green metal' is driven by its environmental friendliness, as it can be recycled infinitely without any loss in quality, offering high resistance and durability for long-lasting design.

We craft our furniture from 90% recycled, EPD-verified aluminium foam panels, ensuring a reduced carbon footprint and an exceptional look. The recycling of aluminium is a key environmental achievement for us, saving 97% of the greenhouse gases compared to its primary production. This process not only saves energy – equivalent to running a TV for three hours with just one recycled can – but also significantly reduces CO₂ emissions. For every tonne of recycled aluminium, we save up to nine tonnes of CO₂ emissions and four tonnes of bauxite. This also translates into substantial energy savings, conserving up to 14,000 kWh of electricity, 1,663 gallons of oil, and avoiding landfill space.

Our aluminium’s durability and simplified design contribute to a more sustainable lifecycle. This not only ensures that each piece remains timeless and functional but also educates our customers on the best use practices, reinforcing the importance of sustainable choices in everyday life. In our quest to redefine furniture manufacturing, we prioritise materials that speak volumes of our commitment to the planet. Our aluminium, with its exemplary environmental profile, is a testament to our dedication to creating not just furniture, but a legacy of sustainability and responsibility.

Our approach to production and distribution at DBE.FURNITURE is rooted in innovation and responsibility. Embracing the principles of distributed design, we utilise global connectivity to transfer data instead of physical products, revolutionising the traditional manufacturing and transportation methods. This novel approach not only ensures greater supply chain transparency but also significantly reduces the environmental impact typically associated with long-distance logistics.

A key component of this innovative approach is our commitment to producing our furniture as close to your location as possible. By localising production, we not only minimise the carbon footprint associated with transportation but also support local economies. This strategic decision to localise manufacturing processes aligns perfectly with our vision of sustainable and resilient infrastructure. It ensures that the production of our furniture is not just environmentally friendly but also contributes to the economic well-being of the community.

Incorporating environmentally friendly processes in our manufacturing, we strive to create a design model that is not just sustainable but also adaptable to the changing needs of our planet and its people. By bringing production closer to you, we make a conscious effort to reduce environmental impact while maintaining the highest standards of quality and design innovation.

Our commitment extends beyond mere sustainability; we strive to be restorative by integrating our operations with the social and natural world. We aim to recultivate a sense of wonder through our designs and practices. Our visionary outlook focuses on creating sustainable systems that are not only effective in reducing environmental impact but also in inspiring change and fostering a deeper connection with nature.

Our commitment to local craftsmanship goes beyond environmental benefits. By supporting skilled artisans in your community, each purchase at DBE.FURNITURE becomes an act of social care. This approach not only reduces CO₂ emissions but also bolsters local economies, directly benefiting the artisans and small businesses that are the backbone of our society.

In our quest to marry environmental care with social responsibility, we’ve embraced a demand-driven production model. This approach ensures that we only produce what is needed, effectively eliminating the issue of overproduction and its associated waste. It’s a conscious choice that reflects our commitment to sustainability and mindful consumption.
