The year 2020 marks the beginning of a commitment to sustainability at BKT Urban Furniture, adding this component to our vision as an integrating element of our practice.

"Furniture that
ages with dignity"
Reduce
We ensure that our materials come from local sources and are certified, thereby reducing emissions associated with transportation and other sources.
Responsability
Sustainability begins at the origin of each project.
Our design strives for timelessness: to withstand the test of time both aesthetically and functionally. We believe in quality as a principle, so that each product has a long useful life and can be "the last piece" the city needs, avoiding the cycle of constant consumption and promoting responsible use of resources.

We accompany our pieces with maintenance manuals to help prolong their use, as well as sustainability sheets specific to each design. We also offer personalized advice on what to do with materials at the end of their useful life, providing options for reusing or recycling them appropriately. Our commitment is to ensure that each product has a positive impact on the environment throughout its entire life cycle.
