Many modern problems are based on the climate crisis and natural disasters. That is why in recent years the design world has been increasingly focusing on conscious consumption and cultivating the eco-trend as a new philosophy, without which a modern interior is unthinkable.

The main principles of ecodesign are based on three pillars: reduction of consumption, reuse and recycling.

The Italian company Zanotta was one of the first to set the global trend for environmental friendliness in design. The iconic Sacco chair, created back in 1969 and became a revolution in the world of industrial design, has taken on a new form. By the 50th anniversary, the brand has re-released the model in the "green" version.

The outer and inner textiles are made of ECONYL material, nylon yarn obtained from the extraction of fishing nets collected on the seabed, fabric scraps and industrial plastic. Nevertheless, the desire for conscious consumption does not mean abandoning style: the outer cover of the seat is made of fabric designed by Pierre Charpin. Each of the three series of one hundred numbered items has a different pattern inspired by sea nets.

The eco-manifesto also plays a key role in the Kartell brand.

The project "Kartell loves the Planet" is a commitment to the principles of sustainable development and respect for the environment.

Kartell products are not only timeless design, high technology, premium materials and iconic designers, but also a deep respect for the environment. All the raw materials used by Kartell are completely recyclable and can get a new life thanks to the processes of processing materials for industrial products. Kartell boasts a GREENGUARD certificate for all its products, which guarantees a low level of waste emissions into the atmosphere.


«The new environmental awareness poses new challenges for companies," notes Claudio Luti, Chairman of the Kartell Management Board."It\'s not about simply creating a product that seems environmentally friendly, but about creating an industrial strategy that includes the entire production process, from a business plan and marketing to communication activities and a sales network. We have to talk about the sustainable quality of the product and at the same time about a sustainable production process that ensures that the products are safe for the health of consumers."


Today, when people think about a responsible attitude to nature and an eco-friendly lifestyle, they rarely think about pieces of furniture and decor in their home. Rather, they are considering installing solar panels, saving water or reducing the use of electricity. Of course, all these are important factors of a sustainable lifestyle, but interior items also play an important role in creating a healthier planet.
