Design that understands eco life cycles

摘要

An LCA considers a number of impacts on the environment including carbon footprint, acidification and eutrophication potential, photochemical ozone creation and energy demand. Seed to Seat recently provided an LCA on the Meraki Daybed which was designed by Laurie Wiid. The more elaborate nature of the Meraki Daybed has led to a slightly larger environmental impact than for some of the other Seed to Seat designs. However, the combination of natural materials and skilful craftsmanship contributes to a very strong environmental profile for a high-end bespoke piece likely to remain in use for many years and to rarely, if ever, need replacement.
