DESIGN • ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

As a team built from multiple international backgrounds, we are passionate about the environment and have found it extremely important to cultivate a culture of sustainability.

In recent years, Claudia has made several talks on the topic to share our efforts and learn from our peers. Together, with our clients and partners in the global design community, we strive to make this a key focus.

TIMELESS DESIGN • LESS WASTE

The interiors we design are made to last and be loved for decades. To us, timeless design always wins over trends.

CAREFULLY SOURCED • LOCALLY MADE

While we source many items internationally, we’re constantly educating ourselves on our vendors’ manufacturing processes and are conscious of our vendors’ return and reuse policies.

However, the majority of the workrooms we work with for bespoke furniture are local. Having our upholstery teams, furniture builders, and millworkers close by means more control of the process, short transportation, and minimal environmental impact.

LESS WASTE • DONATE

New stuff in means old stuff out. It’s incredibly important to us to minimize waste while renovating and designing our clients projects. We work with several local organizations that help us recycle fabrics and materials, find new homes for furniture, appliances, plumbing fixtures, and more. Several vetted organizations that we trust and continue to work with, some are included below:

• The Re-Use People: They reduce the solid waste stream and change the way the built environment is renewed by salvaging building materials and distributing them for reuse. The ReUse People is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.
• Stardust Building: Stardust is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We operate two reuse centers for home improvement which sell gently-used, salvaged, and surplus building materials at affordable prices. Additionally, we provide deconstruction services that salvage building materials, divert waste from landfills, and support sustainability in the community.
• Renovation Angel: Recycle your whole kitchen, appliances, bath, lighting, or furniture and save it from going into landfills. Earn thousands in tax benefits and help those in need. This is how you renovate responsibly.
• Make it Home: Make it Home is a non-profit furniture bank that provides gently used furniture and household goods to newly-housed foster kids, formerly homeless families and individuals who would otherwise move into an empty apartment.
