Pli Design: Eco pioneers

Pioneers in sustainable design Alex Whitney and Christopher Pett are committed to creating furniture with stellar eco credentials ensuring that all considerations from cradle to cradle have been addressed.To make classic-looking yet eco-friendly furniture, Pli Design has selected a caramel-coloured bamboo veneer with a wheat straw-board core. The natural materials in this cabinet are all from grasses, not wood.

Zero formaldehyde and no-VOC glues, binders and finish throughout. Natural, durable wax coating and glueless assembly so all the parts are designed for easy and safe recycling (for metal parts) and energy recovery through incineration or mulching (for natural fibres).
