Sustainability
The global climate crisis significantly affects the development of the present era, and the furniture industry also bears the social responsibility of addressing environmental issues. Grado, with a sense of social responsibility, is committed to incorporating sustainable design principles into every product, advocating environmental awareness to users, and promoting green concepts.
Grado products adhere to sustainable design and use materials and fabrics certified by international standard organizations: we procure FSC-certified wood, an organization that utilizes market mechanisms to promote sustainable forest management, thereby achieving ecological, social, and economic goals; the fabrics we select are OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified, endorsed by renowned textile testing institutes from fifteen countries worldwide, providing assurance for the ecological safety of our products.
Our Materials
FSC-certified forest wood: The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification ensures that the wood used in our products comes from responsibly managed forests that meet stringent environmental, social, and economic standards. This certification promotes sustainable forestry practices, including protecting biodiversity, indigenous rights, and workers' rights.
Recyclable materials: We prioritize the use of biodegradable plastics, which are designed to break down naturally over time, and will reduce environmental pollution, as well as minimize the impact on ecosystems.These plastics are made from renewable resources that can degrade into harmless byproducts, and contribute to a more sustainable product lifecycle.
Process: We use eco-friendly dyes that can quickly degrade in the environment to reduce the long-term environment impact. Raw materials for these dyes are renewable or recycled, lessening dependence on non-renewable resources. Some fabrics are made from natural materials to minimize pollution, aligning with sustainable development principles.
Grado adheres to the philosophy of "long-termism", making the furniture industry a part of slow fashion and ensuring that each piece of furniture brings enduring companionship. From inspiration to design, fabric selection to material processing, and a single cushion to a complete sofa set, we uphold sustainable development principles and quality details that stand the test of time. Grado imbues the essence of "long-termism" design philosophy with sustainability and quality.
Quality Assurance: We uphold a decade-long warranty commitment, reflecting our dedication to sustainability and the durability of our products. This robust guarantee underscores our confidence in the longevity and performance of our furniture, ensuring that they stand the test of time and meet the highest standards for reliability.
Sustainable Design: Our product line embodies the core principles of sustainable design through innovative features such as modular construction, easy disassembly, and reconfigurability. These designs ingeniously minimize resource depletion by allowing components to be interchangeably used, repaired, or upgraded as needed, thereby reducing waste and the demand for new materials.
Our furniture pieces are meticulously crafted with multifunctional capabilities, merging form and function seamlessly. They are designed not just to serve one purpose but multiple uses, effectively maximizing their value and lifespan. This approach encourages a shift from disposable consumerism to a more circular economy where products are cherished and utilized to their fullest potential.
In essence, we strive to create furniture that is not only aesthetically pleasing and practical but also environmentally conscious. By crafting products that consume fewer resources and extend availability throughout their lifecycle, we contribute significantly to a more sustainable future. Through these concerted efforts, we demonstrate our unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship and responsible manufacturing practices.
