As vegan designers, our definition for ‘sustainability’ avoids animal products and animal abuse. Instead of using ‘traditional’ animal products, petrochemicals and harmful chemical processes, we prefer to use specifications that are problem solving, low impact and healthy for those using the spaces they are in.
The best interior design is not using any new materials at all. Second best is designing out of waste, reusing what we have and ensuring those materials have a long life and are non-toxic and easy to biodegrade at the end of their life.
