Our first steps are three fold;

Furniture that lasts
1. As we keep saying, we've streamlined the design and manufacturing process to reduce the costs associated with custom furniture and fittings. What we have not done is lowered our stance on quality materials, fittings, and design. Our units are built to last. So much so that we guarantee they will.
The right to repair
2. The French get a lot right, delicious food, sumptuous wine, timeless style, and a lifestyle that accentuates the pleasures in life. But one of the things we like the most, is their ‘right to repair’ legislation. In fact, we think NZ could do with something similar, but that’s another story. In lieu of legislation forcing us to provide repairability to our products, we just went ahead and offered it anyway.
Whenever one of our units suffers damage, for any reason, if possible, we’ll ensure the ability to repair it is available. This may mean the ability to repair scratches and abrasions, swap repair minor damage, or completely replace parts.
Groundbreaking second life program
3.

We're so sure that our units will stand the test of time, that if your circumstances change and you no longer have space or need for your Consilio Creation, we'll take it off your hands. This means sending someone to you to collect the unit and bring it back to our warehouse. Where possible, we will repair and renew the unit, making it available to new people and entities. Where we decide its life is done, we'll salvage what we can, and dispose of the rest is as sustainable a way as is available in that area.

This is how we minimise the materials used, and waste created by our Consilio Creations.

Flat pack shipping
4. Flat pack shipping but with quality, simple fittings – up to XXX% of what’s getting trucked around with our competitor’s furniture is air. That’s bad when it’s a truck, but even worse when it’s shipped all the way from Asia or Europe. That’s just wasteful. Consilio creations are made in NZ, and shipped flat pack, which minimises wasted space. However, as with everything we do, we have our eye on making things easy and simple. So, we’ve used integrated cams that area already inserted. All you have to do is line up the parts and screw them in. Simple, easy, and quick, but strong enough to take 45kg each!
