Sustainability

Produce responsibly

nature and the community.

 

To extend the life of our chairs on some products, we offer the possibility of maintaining the structure and replacing only the seat or vice versa.

 

We do not delocalize our production processes because we want to maintain competence, a real wealth for this territory and a resource for its inhabitants.                                                                                                                         

 

We prefer zero-kilometer production, creating all the processes that take us from the project to the delivery within the "Chair District".

                                                                                                       

 

We prefer the cycles of painting wood to water, for a lower environmental impact and greater wellbeing of users. The surfaces become more natural and pleasant to the touch.
                                                                        

Territory

amore a prima vista
in Friuli, ricco di boschi, l’uso del legno ha radici profonde, che affondano nella storia 
Colline friulane

"Concepts by Braida" lives in a territory whose craft and industrial vocation has always been expressed in the construction of furnishing solutions.

In Friuli, rich in forestland, the use of wood has deep roots that sink into history. Chairs and tables are only one of the possible forms, in which skilled craft hands have been able to forge local wood.

The skill of working wood has joined the popular stuffing activity, already practiced in Roman times, giving rise to the tradition of the production of chairs, which has made Friuli known all over the world.

Even today in the region, there are two industrial districts, the "furniture district" and the "chair district", a testimony of the past and a sign of innovation and development for the future.
