Design, Circular Economy A line of furniture designed to be kept in circulation for as long as possible

Shipping a piece of furniture in the smallest box possible is the most energy-saving way to distribute it. And putting it together yourself can help keep the furniture in circulation for as long as possible. As Takt founder and CEO Henrik Taudorf Lorensen says: “If you put it together yourself, then it’s also quite easy to fix it yourself.”

"Despite the fancy name, Takt’s PSD (Perpetual Sustainable Design ) is a fairly simple concept. You order, receive and assemble your Takt furniture, then go about your life using it. If it gets a little dinged up, you can order a Care Kit to re-oil the wood (which has been sourced from FSC-certified forests, natch). For bigger issues, you can order a replacement part – say, a new seat or backrest. Takt encourages you to keep your piece in the family for generations, or, if it no longer fits with your lifestyle, give it away to friends and family. If you struggle to dispose of it, they’ll take it back off your hands, fix it up and give it a new lease of life. Pieces are deliberately made of mostly mono-materials such as wood and steel, so that if it’s truly beyond salvaging, then each component part can be easily recycled at a municipal level. Takt also has a dedicated product support hub (taktcph.com/product- support/) where you can find resources for care and recycling options, as well as get access to all its Building Instructions, the title Takt gives its instruction manuals." - India Block Article: Building Instructions
