The sustainability vision of Basten Leijh
We only have one planet and we have to be careful with it. Early on, Basten Leijh realized that sustainability in a production chain starts at the source: the raw materials you select for making products. In his designs, Basten Leijh always looks at the origin and properties of raw materials (are they recycled, can they be used circularly) and can the raw materials be used to last a long time. The product designs that follow are mostly timeless, so they have long-term aesthetic appeal. Add to this the fact that the products produced are long-lasting in terms of quality and can be reused back in the chain when they reach the “end of lifecycle. Good for the world, good for the producer and good for the end user.
