Quality Take the long view. Promote quality materials
that age well and improve with the years resulting
in cost savings in the long run and minimal impact
on the environment.
Functionality Provide products that serve as real backgrounds
for living. Materials function to enhance the
basic qualities of light and space, furnishings
that bring comfort, practicality, and simplicity
to the forefront, timeless surfaces and finishes
that are environmentally friendly.
Health Offer healthy materials
that are non-polluting in manufacture or use.
Avoid products that emit harmful vapours, toxins,
radiation or electric fields of any type. Promote
products made from sustainable and ecological
natural materials and that are pleasant and safe
to use. Mindful of the health effects of chemicals
and additives that permeate our homes and the
damage they already caused to the environment.
Ecology
Promote environmentally sound materials. Products
made from renewable and abundant sources; using
low energy to produce, transport, and use; minimise
waste and recyclable; and that support fair trade
and traditional crafts. We believe it is important
for our homes to be harmonious with the natural
environment. Designing home interiors with ecology
and health in mind not only protects our planet
but we can also benefit ourselves in many ways.

Aesthetics Design to last. The imperfections of natural
textures and patterns are a reflection of our
surroundings in the natural world. When using
natural materials in our interior spaces, we bring
a sense of warmth, comfort, and harmony into our
living spaces. Products work well in every style
imaginable whether traditional or contemporary,
lending their own inherent tone, character, and
interest.
