A value-creating and sustainable artisan model.
An independent house of creation, guided by the attributes of craftsmanship: responsibility, authenticity and a long-term approach. An integrated model of United States manufacturing, within the city of Seattle of the evergreen state of Washington. Useful and durable objects which combine functionality, aesthetics and quality materials and which are passed down. A desire to give something back to the world.
Conscious design
Conscious design means designing products that respect the principles of sustainable development, by using as few non-renewable resources as possible, preferring instead renewable resources, used with consideration for their rate of renewal and whose waste may be recovered, preferably through reuse, repair and recycling. This forward-looking and innovative approach makes it possible to minimize the environmental footprint of products over their entire life cycle, without compromising their qualities of use.
Objectives
Conscious design is an integral part of the company’s artisanal manufacturing model:
- Materials come from natural and renewable sources and are taken with consideration for the resource’s potential for regeneration. The company’s preference for natural fibers avoids the use of non-renewable petroleum-based fibers. The analysis of supply chains and certifications ensures best practice.
- Minimizing production waste is a primary concern for the artisan. Each artisan works to continuously improve the use of these rare and precious materials.
- More environmentally friendly packaging, with the elimination of single-use plastics from packaging and the use of recyclable materials.
- In the tradition of artisans, VULGAR DREAMER objects are designed to last and be repaired, thanks to their technical design and manufacturing methods that emphasize robustness and long-term use.
