"Circular over Fast Furniture" is the new Circular Talk at FABRIC. It looks at the downsides of short-lived furniture and the enormous ecological damage caused by a throwaway mentality and mass production.
Together we ask why cheap trends often come at a high cost to the environment and resources, and how long-lasting, high-quality furniture produced along circular principles offers a real alternative. The talk sets out concrete paths towards more conscious consumption and sustainable interior design.
On the panel, among others
Dirk Olefs, Managing Director of Auping Germany and Deputy Chairman of the Board at the FMI association
Chris de Kraker, Head of Sales DACH region at Auping Germany
