## Sustainability story

Our history with sustainability began with design and committing to a made to order model. I knew we couldn't be sustainable if we insisted on trend driven designs and if we overproduced. Those two concepts have served as the backbone of our sustainability work and it has inspired our materials sourcing and the numerous color options and customizations we are now known for. Certification helps us clarify and redefine the idea that an abundance of choice and options is actually sustainable in this model.
