If there\u2019s anything Croatian furniture design brand Prostoria<\/a> is known for, it\u2019s their diverse collections that marry understated beauty with innovative design. Take their Rhomb or Dobra chairs with unique silhouettes and curvatures. But what makes this brand even more formidable is an all-encompassing commitment to sustainability, which extends from the initial design process and the selection of natural production materials to the final product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To aid in their commitment to sustainability<\/a>, Prostoria created \u0160tof by Prostoria, a circular economy platform and shop in Zagreb, through which they sell all the textiles from their previous collections. At the shop, they also restore vintage furniture, recycle extra fabric waste, and create new accessories from leftover textiles\u2014their latest \u0160tof project comprises two kinds of tote bags designed from previous Prostoria textile collections. They also donate leftover fabric to nearby schools for their arts and crafts programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainability is already built into the design process, as Prostoria aims to create products that have meticulous craftsmanship and can age gracefully. Sourcing natural materials like Slavonian wood from local landscapes, as well as recycled materials, Prostoria\u2019s products are designed with great attention to detail and even have components that can be replaced or easily repaired to extend the product\u2019s lifespan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even Prostoria\u2019s factory and research lab in Sveti Kri\u017e Za\u010dretje upholds the brand\u2019s sustainability policy, as it holds many certifications like the FSC\u00ae<\/sup> (FSC C136756 Chain of Custody) certificate, the ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System Certificate and adheres to the ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management System. So, it is only natural that the brand works with manufacturers who also share the same sustainable vision, guaranteeing that the raw materials are of the highest quality and have a long lifespan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Prostoria, sustainability starts with the selection of natural production materials and design process.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Of course, Prostoria is active about waste management and works hard to reuse all leftover material. For example, all wood waste, such as sawdust, is sold to the wood-pellet industry, while small wood residues are sold locally in the community as firewood. Metal waste is sent to a nearby foundry where it is melted down and prepared for reuse. Waste that is hazardous to the environment, such as wastewater, glue, and packaging residue, is managed by outsourced specialized companies. Also, Prostoria\u2019s Head of the Quality Management System and sculptor An\u0111ela Vili\u0107 utilizes remnants production materials, which are classified as \u201cwaste\u201d for art installations at Prostoria\u2019s storefronts in Croatia, breathing new life into these leftover materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, Prostoria is conscious about reducing their carbon footprint and emissions, through efficient in-house production processes, sourcing local wood from renewable sources, and integrating renewable energy sources. Currently, the brand\u2019s factories are getting 50% of its energy from solar panels and a solar plant with a peak power of 450 kw, and by the end of 2024, they plan to source 100% of its energy from solar panels. Prostoria also aims to reduce their carbon footprint by 25% by 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
