Exploring ZEITRAUM’s Furniture Footprint: A Path Toward Sustainable Living

ZEITRAUM, a renowned German furniture company, stands out not only for its elegant, minimalist designs, but also for its commitment to sustainability. One of their key initiatives, the “Furniture Footprint,” offers a comprehensive evaluation system that assesses the sustainability of their products throughout their lifecycle.

The Furniture Footprint assesses furniture based on three key pillars: ecological, economic, and social sustainability. Ecologically, ZEITRAUM emphasises responsible sourcing and recycling of materials, as well as product longevity. Economically, they prioritise regional sourcing, efficient production and repairability. Socially, the focus is on ensuring fair working conditions, equality and transparency in their business operations.

The evaluation also integrates Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) data, particularly through Germany’s Eco-Baudat database, which provides in-depth insights into the environmental impact of raw materials, transportation, production and disposal. By maintaining transparency and providing customers with clear sustainability data, ZEITRAUM empowers eco-conscious consumers to make informed choices.

This sustainability approach has earned them accolades, including the German Sustainability Award in Design. Their efforts illustrate that sustainable furniture doesn’t just mean using natural materials, but involves a thorough, holistic approach across the entire value chain.
