Designed by Phillipe Starck, the Spanish manufacturer’s new collection makes use of wooden fasteners to minimize materials and maximize recyclability.

The surest way to cut a product’s contribution to atmospheric carbon is to simplify the design—draw on a short list of ingredients and keep the final item free of component parts and mechanisms whose own manufacturing histories might add to its embodied carbon. Andreu World’s newest modular seating, developed under its 100 percent pure wood project, exemplifies this approach.
