Many interior design companies actively adhere to the concept of environmentally friendly design, increasingly choosing environmentally friendly and processed materials.
The exhibition of the interior design of Maison & Object in Paris is a great place to see how companies introduce innovations into their projects using sustainable development methods. In this article we will talk about some brands using new methods of creating interior items.
What is a stable design?
Adding environmental friendliness to the interior design can be achieved using several key methods, such as the use of restored, secondly processed and ethically mined materials. Check out the most common eco-method that guarantee that our living quarters will look good and not harm the planet.
Restored materials
Restored materials have already lived one life before they were processed for new use. This includes wood from old barns, turned into amazing tables, or bricks from destroyed buildings used in decorative walls. The charm of processed materials lies not only in their unique character and history, but also in their contribution to a decrease in demand for new resources. Giving these materials a second life, we significantly reduce the environmental impact during the extraction and processing of primary materials.
Recycled materials
Secondary processing has long been considered the key to an environmentally friendly lifestyle, and its principles are perfectly extended to the interior design. For example, glass bottles can be turned into elegant countertops, and plastic bottles into a strong, attractive textile for upholstery. The use of processed material helps to reduce the amount of waste on landfills and reduces a carbon trace in the production of new materials from zero.
Ethically mined materials
Materials are extracted in methods that do not harm the environment and do not use low -paid human labor. The basis is the social responsibility and the desire to maintain the environment. The use of materials obtained in the ethnic method in the interior design confirms that our choice in favor of aesthetics corresponds to more general principles of environmental stability and justice.

The company is proud of the fact that its products are made by hand by qualified masters. Handmade details can be seen in wicker fabrics, complex engravings and woodcarving.
Bequadro
Traditional crystal is made of silicon dioxide, which is obtained as a result of the destructive environment of the mining process. The Japanese company Bequadro decided to create alternative plant -based crystals using rice straws and husks obtained from silicon dioxide. Thus, the process eliminates greenhouse gas emissions, as well as pollution of water and soil.
Using patented technology, the company can extract silicon dioxide from rice husks and straw waste that remain when growing rice. Silicon dioxide is a mineral present in the soil, which is absorbed and accumulated by rice plants. Its extraction from waste reduces the need for its extraction and allows you to get renewable energy and fertilizers. The crystal obtained as a result of this process looks and feels the same as a crystal from traditional sources, but is better suited for the environment and your home.
Conclusion

Firstly, modern consumers are becoming more and more conscious and interested in environmental matters. They prefer to purchase goods from companies that show the environment and strive to reduce their negative impact on it.
Secondly, governments and international organizations are increasingly paying attention to environmental problems and introduce strict standards and standards in the field of ecology. Companies striving for long -term success are forced to adapt their activities to these norms and standards.
Finally, with the development of technology and research, new, more effective and environmentally friendly production methods appear. Many companies see this as an opportunity to reduce their ecological traces and simultaneously increase competitiveness.
Thus, the introduction of environmental methods in the production of furniture and interior items is not only a response to the requirements of the market and legislation, but also an expression of the responsible attitude of companies to the environment and their desire for sustainable development.
