SUSTAINABILITY
OUR COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY
We believe that design can shape the world around us, not just for today, but for generations to come. Our team is passionate about creating spaces that are not only beautiful and functional but also environmentally responsible. The designers stay up-to-date with new materials, technologies, and practices to ensure we are at the forefront of sustainable design.

OUR APPROACH
At Layrd Design, we see sustainability as an integral part of our design process. Here's how we approach sustainable design:
-
Local Focus: By working with local trades and contractors, we reduce the carbon footprint associated with transportation and support our community.
-
Second-Hand: We believe used items should have a new life where they can. Incorporating second-hand furniture into our designs adds character and reduces waste.
-
Circular Economy: We prioritise products with recycled content and those that can be recycled again, closing the loop on materials.
-
Collaborative Partnerships: We actively seek suppliers with return schemes, ensuring that materials are reused or repurposed whenever possible.
-
Creative Reuse: Reupholstering and wrapping existing products are innovative ways to give new life to old items.
