We are currently living at the time when the factors of the commercial way of life weigh down on us. The production of huge quantities of goods is causing tremendous waste. You know it, things start to bore you, they are not so "cool"anymore, and mainly they soon wear out. But demand is increasing and production is spitting out new and new pieces.
People who care about the environment, and who are trying to do something for our planet, are using the Slow Fashion approach in buying their clothes. They strive for sustainability, quality pieces, keeping traditions, respect for human rights. This approach has also transferred to the world of design. "Slow Design" can be found in living, interiors and design itself. How will you react to it?
All amenities, whether it be furniture, decorations or other practical things, can be purchased or renovated in such a way so as to be timeless, made in good quality, and long-term. Furthermore, to be produced in an ethically responsible manner towards the approach to life and the people themselves who are behind the production. On the other hand, the concept of Slow Design brings a luxury advantage, financially. You may find that the initial investment in a luxury timeless piece of good quality will be higher, but you will not have to deal with repurchase in a short time.
You can find inspiration in the timeless Scandinavian design of Actona, or you can reach for the rugs of Louis de Poortere, which provide a sense of elegance. Any pieces of wood can be used as a fresh design accessory to your interior.
It could be said that "Slow Design" confirms that everything "that once was" is repeated. Sometimes it may be enough not to look only at the current appearance and design, but to think about longer-term use, practicality, quality and recycling. Will you go for it?
