beam

why is it more sustainable?

Beam is a handmade bench with solid wood base and recycled leather upholstery.

The upholstery is Elvis & Kresse modular leather cover. Elvis & Kresse partners with the Burberry Foundation, rescuing luxury leather offcuts from Burberry production and giving them a new life. Leather fragments are cut in 3 shapes that are manually woven into recycled leather hides in a modular pattern that makes repairs easy and efficient. The cover is held in place by easy-to-remove stainless steel tubes that facilitate disassembly.

Beam is made-to-order, preventing the impact of overproduction. 50% of profits from the leather cover are donated in the form of scholarships to train women as solar engineers. A contribution to women empowerment and renewable energy development.

Elvis & Kresse holds several certifications. Among the rest, it is a Certified B-Corporation, a label that proves high social standards and care for the environment in business, as well as the willingness to further improve.
