What is Sustainability?
At Designito, we believe sustainability begins with intention. Around the world, the furniture industry has become one of the largest contributors to deforestation and waste. Too often, pieces are made quickly and discarded just as fast, leaving behind landfills filled with broken frames, worn fabrics, and forgotten trends. We see things differently.
The Challenge
Fast furniture has a hidden cost. Every year, more than 9 million tons of furniture waste end up in landfills in the United States alone. Globally, an estimated 18 million acres of forest are lost annually, much of it driven by unsustainable logging to meet demand for short-lived products.
Behind every cheap, disposable design lies a trail of environmental damage—forests stripped without renewal, finishes filled with harmful chemicals, and materials that cannot be recycled. The result is a cycle of overproduction and waste that pollutes our planet and depletes its resources.
This is the cycle we are determined to break.
The Answer
At Designito, sustainability is woven into the very essence of our furniture. We do not chase trends or short-lived styles. Instead, we design for longevity, ensuring that every piece becomes a lasting part of your home. By choosing durability over disposability, we extend the life of our furniture and reduce the need for constant replacement.
This is where Italian design and sustainability meet: in pieces that are meant to be lived with, loved, and passed down.
Our Commitments
Responsible Materials
We work with wood sourced only from FSC-certified forests, ensuring biodiversity is protected and forests are managed responsibly. Every fabric and leather is carefully chosen from Italian suppliers who share our commitment to sustainability and craftsmanship.
Safe Finishes, Healthier Homes
Our water-based finishes are free from harmful chemicals. They protect the furniture you love while protecting the air you breathe.
Built to Last
Italian craftsmanship is, by nature, sustainable. Each piece is designed to resist wear and remain timeless, turning furniture into an heirloom instead of waste. When a sofa, chair, or table lasts for decades, it saves countless resources and keeps unnecessary items out of landfills.
Supporting Italian Artisans
We believe sustainability also means sustaining communities. By working with local artisans, we preserve traditional skills, reduce the emissions of long-distance supply chains, and keep the heart of Italian design alive.
Thoughtful Packaging & Delivery
We use recyclable, minimal packaging designed to protect without excess. Our delivery methods are constantly refined to reduce emissions, ensuring that beauty and responsibility arrive together at your door.
Our Principles
The Product & The People
Product
Every Designito piece begins with a promise: to use materials of uncompromising quality, selected with care for their performance and their impact.
We work with partners who share our values, favoring local suppliers and processes that minimize environmental strain. This approach not only reduces emissions but strengthens the communities around us.
Authenticity is at the core of our philosophy. “Made in Italy” for us means integrity, artistry, and a responsibility to preserve resources. From responsibly sourced hardwoods to premium textiles and leathers, our materials are chosen to last—because longevity is the most sustainable choice.
Each creation reflects a harmony of tradition and innovation, carrying both cultural depth and environmental awareness into the homes we design for.
People
Our work begins with people, the artisans, designers, and communities that give life to every Designito creation.
We believe sustainability is human as much as environmental. That means safe, inspiring workspaces, a culture of respect, and the passing of skills from one generation to the next. The craft of the hand remains central, shaping furniture that carries both technical precision and human warmth.
By valuing people as deeply as the products we make, we ensure that Designito remains not only a brand of design, but a guardian of knowledge, culture, and responsibility.
Our Goal for 2030
By 2030, we aim to ensure that 100% of our wood and fabrics are certified sustainable, reduce our packaging waste by 50%, and cut our carbon footprint per delivery by 30%. Every piece we create is a step toward this vision, a future where Italian design enriches homes without compromising the planet.
When you choose Designito, you are not only investing in a piece of furniture—you are choosing a future where beauty and responsibility live side by side.
Designito's Design Ethos
Designito pieces begin with Milanese clarity and discipline, then adapt to today’s spaces and pace of living. Every line is considered. Every material is earned. Every silhouette is deliberate. We keep what matters and remove what does not. The result feels timeless yet modern, with tight proportions, fluid modularity, and honest materials guiding every choice.
Clarity of Purpose
Each piece starts with a simple brief and a real need. Lines carry structure, contours support the body, and details make use effortless. Good design feels self-evident. You understand it at a glance, and you enjoy it in daily use.
Proportion with Restraint
We shape silhouettes through balance, not bravado. Space, scale, and symmetry set the rhythm, so pieces sit quietly and still anchor a room. Modular elements let you tune the composition without visual noise, keeping rooms calm and coherent.
Durability Through Detail
True longevity lives in the details you rarely see. Reinforced frames, hidden stitching, and high-performance components are tested for quiet strength. You notice it in the tension of a seam, the weight of a base, and the silence of a mechanism. Quality reveals itself over time, not just on day one.
