Uhuru, One workplace partner for Heirloom design platform

24 Apr 2021 CW Team

Uhuru Design, the Brooklyn-based furniture designer, manufacturer and pioneer of the New American design movement, has announced a partnership with One Workplace, the largest North-American workplace provider, to launch Heirloom Design—the industry's first platform aimed at celebrating the journey and story of heirloom-quality furniture that is sustainably passed from one office generation and workplace to the next.

Heirloom Design seeks to celebrate the New American design furniture movement. Heirloom pieces will be tagged with a brass QR code plate so that customers and end-users can participate in the historical provenance of the piece. Included in the history will be a catalog of details on materials used in construction, craftsperson and maker information, dates of initial construction, and other pertinent data that results in a story about each piece.

Uhuru's line of Heirloom products includes ancillary, conference tables, and work surfaces that will include their sustainability narrative.

As stated by the company, the office furniture market approached $20 billion in 2020, while the domestic online consumer market accelerated to $46 billion. This drove 11.8 million tonnes of furniture to the landfill, accounting for 5% of domestic waste. The company said that Heirloom was created as a means to offer viable workplace furniture solutions to end-users focused on carbon neutral initiatives.

Uhuru Design focuses on designing and building custom high-end furniture with reclaimed materials, specialising in commercial furniture, building brand-specific products, and a direct-to-consumer line under the Propr brand.
