Advice and fast quotations for all your projects
Respect for the environment is becoming more and more important in our society and designers have understood this!
In terms of lighting, technological developments allow us to reduce our energy consumption, as with LEDs for example.
The discovery of new design techniques and better use of materials have enabled designers to offer you environmentally friendly products: this is eco-design.
This takes into account all stages of the product's life cycle (materials chosen, design, delivery, etc.).
Some design houses such as the French house Forestier for example put the LED in the spotlight and make eco-design a priority. This can be seen thanks to their collaboration with eco-designer Elise Fouin to create the butterfly collection. The butterfly suspension enhances the materials used to better reinvent them and plays on a captivating graphic effect.
Others, such as GOLDEN Editions, use local products and environmentally friendly manufacturing techniques. The brand uses Veta Vera, a locally grown plant, which is harvested before being twisted and pulled to create smooth, strong fibres, which are then hand-dyed with natural pigments. This results in unique creations such as the Hatter suspension.
The LEDs, low energy bulbs, are positively characterised for their low power consumption as well as their long life!
Some LED bulbs can have a lifespan of several thousand hours which avoids having to change your bulbs every one or two months compared to some low quality halogen bulbs. So they are part of this eco-design concept. The British company Astro has adopted LEDs to provide you with high quality, energy-efficient lighting.
So next time you're outfitting yourself with lights, think eco-design!
