Choose Ecodesign to Furnish your Home in a Sustainable Way

Sustainability and care for the environment are very current and discussed topics due to the ongoing climate change. More and more people are therefore trying to adopt behaviours to preserve the environment and its resources.

This trend is reflected in various areas of our lives, from clothing to the choice of nature-friendly furniture without ever sacrificing aesthetics, durability or quality. Ecodesign furniture does not lose its ability to resist and last over time while maintaining its qualities.

Sustainable furniture is furniture made from recycled materials that can in turn be reused in the future within the production process.

Eco-friendly materials

The materials most used by eco-conscious designers are those found in natural or obtained from the recycling process. Among the best known are wood (the FSC® certificate guarantees its origin and responsible forest management), bamboo, aluminium and recycled plastics.
 

•   Wood: the eco-friendly material par excellence

In its processing it uses little fossil fuels, is naturally isolating and comes from a renewable source. In furniture, it is mostly used in complements for the living area such as sideboards, credenzas, chests of drawers and TV stands that combine classic and modern styles.

• Bamboo

This plant is considered sustainable due to its ability to grow in places with a high drought rate as it does not require large amounts of water.

It is completely biodegradable and extremely durable, which is why it is considered an excellent material for garden furniture.

• Aluminium

Aluminium has the ability to be recycled endlessly without losing its properties such as strength, lightness and lustre. It does not oxidise, does not spoil and is resistant to collision. It is ideal for making dining and coffee tables for bars and pubs.

•   Recycled plastic

The process of re-evaluating and optimising plastic waste saves resources and raw materials, combating pollution by limiting CO2 emissions into the atmosphere and the use of landfill sites. In this way, plastic can be given a new life and sustainable and long-lasting furnishings can be created.

Viadurini and Ecodesign

Viadurini is committed to ensuring the presence of eco-friendly products in its collections. In the Viadurini living collection the sideboards made of recycled mango and acacia wood are perfect for furnishing the living area in ethnic style. As far as the dining room is concerned, on the other hand, the choice of a dining table combined with chairs both made of recycled polyethylene are an ideal furnishing complement to combine functionality and aesthetics. Finally, even in the choice of heating system, Viadurini proposes the world's first ecological thermo-refrigerator created thanks to the recycling process of marble dust, a waste element from quarries.
