Sustainability

At FOAB, sustainability is more than just a buzzword—it’s a core principle guiding every aspect of our work. As architects and designers, we understand the importance of building for the future, and our furniture embodies this ethos by being both eco-friendly and enduring.

Our Approach to Sustainability


Responsible Sourcing

  • We carefully source our materials, prioritizing sustainably harvested wood and reclaimed resources wherever possible. Each piece is thoughtfully crafted to minimize waste while maximizing beauty and functionality.


Eco-Conscious Techniques

  • Techniques like shou sugi ban, a traditional Japanese charring method, not only enhance the durability of wood but also reduce the need for chemical finishes, making our furniture safer and more sustainable.


Longevity in Design

  • We believe sustainability starts with creating furniture that lasts. By designing timeless pieces with solid materials and durable construction, we help reduce the cycle of disposable furniture.


Minimizing Waste

  • From design to production, we strive to minimize waste. Every offcut is repurposed, every process is evaluated, and we continuously work toward reducing our environmental footprint.


Collaborating for a Greener Future

  • FOAB partners with local artisans, designers, and communities to ensure sustainable practices are embraced at every level. Together, we aim to promote conscious living through thoughtful design.
