Taking a cue from Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax, “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing going to get better, its not,” Unless design delivers high style in a sustainable package. Unless opened the doors of its physical showroom late last year in Okato, Taranaki, New Zealand, along with the launch of their website, serving as an outlet for the growing number of New Zealand designers whose work takes on environmental responsibility, under the watchful eye of directors Rebecca Asquith and Tim Wigmore. Sustainable in both business and practice, the Unless showroom and design offices initiated policies of water and energy efficiency, waste reduction, recycling ad composting, and services green initiatives within the local community including tree planting.
It’s great to see NZ design out there. It’s very organic and clean, as well as very innovative.
