THE DESIGN EDIT

Lasting Luxury

Crafted to last for decades to come, investment pieces are a staple of beautifully curated interiors, eschewing fleeting fads and supporting a more sustainable way of living. Here we highlight the key qualities to look for in furniture, fixtures and fittings that will stand the test of time.

Enduring Form

The allure of trend-focused homeware is undeniable, as it can instantly breathe new life into tired interiors, however en vogue aesthetics tend to date very quickly, often leading to the need for constant replacements. Timeless designs, on the other hand, offer value and versatility that transcend seasons and shifting tastes. Mid-century modern, minimalist or traditional furnishings are solid options as they easily integrate into a broad spectrum of decors, and can adapt from one look to the next as you update your interior style over the coming years.

Exceptional Craftsmanship

It’s estimated that much of the furniture that ends up in landfill - currently around 9 million tons every single year - are relatively new pieces that are broken or no longer fit for purpose due to being intentionally produced with short lifespans.

For those who prioritise environmental responsibility, expertly crafted furniture that can withstand the rigours of daily life is the smarter choice, so look for generous guarantees and warranties that signify superior quality and longevity. By investing in well-crafted items, you not only enjoy a beautifully furnished living space, but also contribute to reducing waste.

Material Matters

The materials used to create your furniture play a critical role in determining its durability. By its very nature, fast furniture is designed to be disposable, which means it’s often constructed from low-grade fibreboard and plastics that are prone to damage and degradation, ultimately leading to frequent replacement. 

Intrinsically strong materials such as stone, hardwood and marble provide a much more sustainable alternative. With proper care and maintenance, these premium materials age beautifully and deliver years of service, reducing your environmental footprint while offering a timeless aesthetic that can last a lifetime.
