READ // Fast furniture is hurting the planet - so think big next time that âbargainâ is bundled in to the back of the car!! And consider I tâs time to end fast design! + With the Ikea catalogue surpassing The Bible as the most printed book in the world (?!!!) with 200 million+ copies annually - itâs astounding to learn IKEA use 1% OF THE WORLDâS TIMBER - thatâs 1%!! + Being mainly cheap particle board - not recyclable - made from wood chips x glue - the lion-share of this resource feeds landfill. Itâs not just @ikea - with @colessupermarkets Introducing a $10-35 homeware collection to improve the #retailexperience đjoining @targetaus @kmartaus & other chains knocking off trends fuelling what we call #disposabledecorating - itâs time to #chosewellbuyless & invest in furnishings we keep for life! + Vote with your wallets people!! Furnishings are an investment - not a trend. We need to be responsible. + If we embrace ethical food supply & avoid palm oil or unsustainable fishing - is it time to address #fastdesign #fastfurniture? + If weâre horrified about the ethical, environmental & human impact of fast fashion - should we apply that thinking to furnishings? + How often do we see a dumpster full of cheap furniture? Businesses saving a buck to buy cheap crap or #replicafurniture only to replace it again. And again. + Or homes seeking a âdecorator lookâ / #knockoffs vs investing in pieces that are made to endure, pieces with character, meaning & things we care about. + Take a stance - help educate yr friends & family. Be informed. Inform others. + #replicaisfake #stopdesigntheft #getrealybuyrealsupplyreal #supportoriginaldesign #authenticdesign #authenticdesignalliance #thedesigndirectory + đthank you @livingedge For sending this.
