At Studio HDSN, sustainability is at the forefront of every design decision. Making a conscious effort to design with an eco-friendly approach can ensure long-term well-being for the planet and yourself.

Keeping and maintaining existing items should be a first priority when designing a new space. This involves assessing what the client already has and how we can work that into the project by giving them a new lease of life and designing with these in mind.

When the design requires new products to be brought in, it is important to buy second-hand, vintage, or reclaimed first. These products and materials significantly reduce carbon footprint by avoiding the high emissions associated with new production. 

When sourcing new or vintage products, it is important to keep in mind where these pieces are from. Choosing items that are locally made or have minimal transportation are ways in which we can keep our carbon footprint low and minimises environmental harm. It also makes it extra special when we find a real gem from just down the road!

Responsible decision making doesn’t end at sustainability. Choosing products that prioritise fair trade, ethical labour practices, and local craftsmanship ensure that there’s a positive impact on both the planet and people involved in interior practices.
