Conscious design

Precision engineered and built to last, your Bisley furniture will keep on working as hard as the first day you got it.

As Europe’s leading designer and manufacturer of steel furniture solutions, we understand how to get the best out of this great material. Nobody knows steel like Bisley, but in the last few years we’ve built a rich expertise in wood materials - the natural partner of steel.

Our dedicated team of designers have been joined by wood manufacturing specialists; applying the same knowledge that developed our iconic steel solutions to wooden furniture ranges.

We understand the possibilities and limitations of a broad range of wood materials. Whatever your requirements, we have the skills to help bring you useful, beautiful, bespoke solutions that will last.

Create something beautiful for your space.

Considering sustainability

Our Green Design protocol directs our designers to consider the environmental attributes of a new product, from the very beginning of a project.

Considerations in this process include:

Sustainable Material Selection

We integrate sustainable materials within our products.
We are continuously implementing more sustainable construction methods into our processes.
We specify materials that enhance and boost performance.
We design with a consideration for minimum waste production.
We have minimised the number of different materials we use within our production process.

Quality and Durability

We continuously ensure that all our products are made for life and withstand the test of time, with minimal maintenance requirements.
The longevity of our products are considered during the design process, ensuring lasting quality and performance.
We design our products with the user’s possible future needs in mind.
The lifetime of each product is optimised to increase reliability and durability.

Reuse, Recycling and End of Life

The Product Design team work to incorporate interchangeability of parts to further extend our products’ life.
The team design to allow for ease of upgrading/retrofitting of new interior fitments i.e., partitions and shelves to renew the product.
The team also work to ensure that the material can be segregated easily when the product is at its end of life to enable and promote recycling.

Packaging and transportation

Each product’s packaging, design, and environmental impact is considered throughout the design process.
The transportation of each product is considered throughout the design process, to maximise space and load efficiency.
We only use packaging materials that are easily recyclable.
Doing this ensures that we limit the use of single-use plastic packaging materials.
