This excerpt by AULETS addresses the challenge of reconciling furniture design with the true environmental costs of its production. It advocates for the importance of consuming locally made goods as a conscious and transformative act, in contrast to global industrial models that externalize their impacts. The conversation highlights the urgency of accurately accounting for an object’s environmental price—from manufacturing to end of life—and supports initiatives that reactivate dormant territorial resources. It’s a call to rebuild the relationship between environment, design, and market for a fairer, more resilient present.
