What ‘sustainable furniture’ means for Azur Confort ?
High-quality materials
Materials play an important role in the durability of furniture. At Azur Confort, we make outdoor furniture for professionals. This implies two things: our furniture must be resistant to outdoor conditions (rain, snow, sun), and suitable for intensive use.
But when it comes to materials, the word sustainability takes on another meaning: environmental responsibility. The manufacture of furniture has a high environmental cost, which we don’t think about at first glance. In addition to the manufacture of the furniture, we have to take into account the culture of the wood, its impact on deforestation, the energy resources needed to harvest and transport it…
In 2020, we decided to abandon the use of exotic woods from Africa and Asia, and concentrate instead on Robinia and Chestnut, two species that are native to Europe and grown locally. Less popular than teak or iroko, but just as suitable for outdoor use.
Repairing rather than throwing away
Repairability plays a major role in the design of our furniture. Most of our textiles are replaceable, meaning that worn-out fabrics can be replaced with new ones, while keeping the same wooden structure. And if a wooden part should break, we are able to re-use the undamaged parts to make a new piece of furniture, thus avoiding throwing away the furniture because of a single defective part.
As well as repairs, we also offer furniture refurbishment. Wood is a living material, and furniture ages and develops a patina throughout its life. Greyed-out wood doesn’t have to be thrown away! Maintenance and the application of a new finish to the wood will ensure that the furniture lives for many years to come.
