Eco-Friendly Design furniture

Preserving forests,
One Piece at a Time

Image

Each year, we lose 18.7 million acres of forests due to logging for furniture production.

Design Preowned seeks to reverse this trend.

Why deplete nature’s resources when we have
the brilliance to recreate?

We are a Scandinavian company dedicated to giving pre-owned design furniture a new lease on life. Our passion lies in aligning aesthetic value with ecological sustainability to create refined designer furniture. Known and unknown.

Our Story

Opting for eco-friendly furniture is a vital step towards environmental conservation.

Furniture production, particularly wood-base furniture, is one of the leading causes of deforestation worldwide. Forests are cleared to make way for logging operations to source wood for furniture manufacturing.

Forests act as carbon sinks, absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. When they are cut down, this stored carbon is released, which contributes to climate change and global warming.

Deforestation for furniture production also leads to habitat loss and fragmentation, threatening the biodiversity of forests. Many plant and species rely on forests for their survival, and deforestation puts their populations at risk.

As consumer awareness grows regarding the link between deforestation and furniture production, demand for responsibly sourced products is rising. To meet this need, we offer locally sourced design furniture, meticulously restored with organic materials by local artisans.

Vision Vision 2

Vision

We believe in the power of design to inspire and the necessity of preserving natural resources for future generations. Using organic, locally sourced materials, we aim to craft designs that tell stories of sustainability and enduring beauty. Our vision is a future where each piece of furniture symbolizes the harmony between forward-thinking design and environmentally-conscious craftsmanship. In addition, on our collection pages, we entice our clients to make our chairs their own by customizing fabrics and finishes. The Razor Blade chair, for example, can be personalized with a variety of wool fabrics and natural leathers from Sørensen Leather, all eco labeled and awarded the Nordic Swan Ecolabel.

Values Values 2

Values

Sustainability, craftsmanship, transparency and innovation at the heart of every piece we create. Our handcrafted furniture embodies these values with its green, CO2-neutral design. Our photoshoots take place inside a city made of recycled containers, breathing sustainability through every aspect to stay aligned with our values. With a deep respect for the Danish design tradition, we ensure that forests are given time to naturally regenerate. Deliveries are environmentally safe, using reusable blankets to protect items and eliminate waste. While public and private tenders often carry a significant carbon footprint, our end-to-end solutions provide the green alternative the planet desperately needs.

Renovation Process,
Assigning Product ID
and Tracking

Each hand-picked and restored furniture piece is assigned a unique product ID and embedded with a chip or QR code that chronicles its rich history. Throughout the renovation process, every item is carefully inspected, repaired, and refinished to perfection. By simply scanning the chip or QR code with a compatible device, you can access detailed information about the piece's origin, renovation steps, and materials used.
