Australia's first furniture maker to become FSC-certified
S+A has become Australia's first furniture maker to achieve Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification. FSC is arguably the world's most trusted eco timber certification system, and is endorsed by Greenpeace, the WWF, and the GBCA.
Laura Demasi from Sydney Morning Herald talks to interior designer Marc Schamburg and architect Michael Alvisse about creating an innovative eco furniture brand trusted by some of the world’s most ethical companies* (*as compiled by Ethisphere, 2008).
S+A are pleased to announce that our Izaak chairs have been certifed by Good Environmental Choice Australia (GECA) to score you 100% green star points for the GBCA mats-4 calculator.
Furthermore, these eco innovative Izaak chairs have a short lead time ranging from only 2-6 weeks from order of placement.
Sydney Design Guide: Top 5 Design Stores - Shop in Style
S+A have been chosen as one of the top 5 design stores by the Sydney Design Guide:
" ... They are small but successful businesses that have carved out great niches for themselves and continue to produce and sell excellent furniture in a tough market. There really isn't any reason for anyone to buy expensive imported furniture when there is such great local product around."
" Congratulations to Schamburg + Alvisse Design for a well-deserved Australian Design Award. The judges decision was unanimous, with praise for the Smooth Tub Chair commonplace in this year's assessment room. The panel commented: "This is a design with real longevity. Its colour and upholstery are fresh, coupled with a pleasing line and direction." "
