Sustainability seems to be a huge challenge. But it doesn’t need to be. It turns out, I’ve been implementing quite a few of the best principles ever since I have been a designer! Namely: reusing a lot of what my clients own, buying antiques, buying and commissioning from wonderful craftspeople, buying naturally made products made out of wood, linen and wool as well as buying and working locally - usually zooming around on my bike! All of these common sense habits belong to best practise in the ‘circular economy’. But Yes, the situation has become more urgent, and the interior design industry coupled with the construction industry is most definitely guilty of excess use of our precious raw materials. I am not exactly pro-growth or anti-growth but about living well, repectful of our environment and those around us. The design world is a reflection of the stunning world we live in and provides great enjoyment as well as employment worldwide. I have done an enormous amount of research into how we can conduct ourselves more responsibly and I will keep on doing so. I have created a long and in-depth list of suppliers with links to helpful resources. I will endeavour to share this soon, and when I do, please feel free to contact me to edit or add to this information. For now, just get in touch if you would like to read and make use of it in my studio, which is now a fully fledged“eco library”.
