Our purpose
We started out almost 9 years ago recycling bedding. However, out of our own frustration with disposable bedding and furniture. That frustration became the inspiration for our mission: to change the way people consume, keep, and enjoy furniture. Because the average household isn't keeping their furniture for the long haul
From the start, we felt that the most sustainable thing we could do was design products that people will keep. Furniture that won’t deteriorate when moved, or follow trends that go out of style in a few years. Pieces designed to be serviceable, making it easy for customers to replace parts over time if necessary. And manufactured in the AUS, closer to our customers, to reduce emissions caused by excess transportation.
Sustainability.
Sustainability isn’t just about doing the right thing. It’s about making furniture that follows the world’s best practices and pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in design and manufacturing. We believe that longevity is intimately intertwined with quality in design. That a carefully and considered designed products should be made to be used over and over again.
At Bengo, sustainability informs everything we do, from the way we design our furniture to the way we work with and source our materials. From the way we conceptualise our products, right through to manufacturing and delivery, we’ve taken steps to reduce waste and energy use, offset our carbon footprint, and incorporate key environmental, social, and economic considerations throughout the entire product lifecycle.
