Here at Function in Form – we are serious about our carbon footprint. We have really looked at our restoration methods to ensure we are doing everything we can & strictly adhere to these methods.
Our products are ‘Green’. However, we can always go further…
At the request of a client – we were recently given the challenge to provide a restored suite that not only was green in the production but would continue to be green as it aged.
It wasn’t easy to find products, especially ones within a reasonable price range. We had some excellent local businesses help us out & have managed to secure access to some pretty neat environmentally correct materials.
These are:
- 100% natural VOC free wood oils – they don’t protect like our own polyurethane mix but providing you don’t mind reapplying oils every few years (we provide a small pot of the product along with the item). These do a good job & look good – not like Danish oil but almost.
- 100% wool felted wadding – this replaces Dacron wrapping which is used to add that comfort layer to foams. All the great qualities of wool, totally biodegradable & comfy plus. We really like this product!
- 100% natural latex foam, Awesome product. It’s heavy and very, very comfy. Again biodegradable.
- A myriad of natural upholstery fabrics. We’ve always promoted 100% NZ wool fabrics, but we have got together with some fantastic new businesses with fabulous ranges of wool & flax, hemp & wool blends – all sorts of natural biodegradable.
All products are sourced locally & with the exception of the wood oil – made in NZ
So – if you’re keen on doing your bit for our environment. By purchasing from FiF you already are, but if you want to go the extra mile’. Talk to us about using these great products for your restored furniture.
It’s just right on so many levels……
