The Environment

Join Us

Archipel has always looked to the beauty of the natural world for design inspiration. As such, we have also looked to the earth's resources, which give form and life to our products and designs.  As we enjoy the benefits associated with design and product creation, we are distinctly aware of an inherent responsibility to work towards environmental sustainability.

Our goal is sustainable style: to maintain leadership in the creation of enduring designs, and uphold the commitment of protecting the beauty of the natural world through the responsible use of its resources.
The Archipel approach to this achievable goal:
  • The majority of our goods are handmade, which means that our workshops utilize little electricity and emit few, if any, emissions into the environment.
  • Archipel uses plantation teak and alternative sustainable wood in its manufacturing. Archipel uses no woods from endangered forests.
  • We select water-based and water-soluble finishes for our products wherever possible.
  • We continue to stress the importance of choosing post-consumer waste paper and carton packaging with our partners in supply.
There is much perfecting to be done in this area, and we are committed to integrating the process of sustainability and green-friendliness into our long-term sourcing and planning policy at Archipel. We are committed to keeping you in touch with advancements in this area and how you can help.

As our valued client, we'd like to ask you to join us in the quest for sustainability.
