Why trimmings are an eco-design gesture
Finishing touches are the essence of responsible design:
They extend the life of what you already own,
They make use of dormant stocks of trimmings,
They personalize without replacing,
And they reconnect design with craftsmanship.
Choosing circular or upcycled trimmings means reducing waste and embracing a more emotional, thoughtful kind of luxury.
