Level® - Sustainability Certification for Furniture

Atlantic Collection - Bernhardt

Olá!

Earlier this year, I attended a CEU Seminar on BIFMA Level Standard Furniture.

Level is the sustainability certification program for furniture.

Level^® is the multi-attribute, sustainability standard and third-party certification program for the furniture industry. It has been created to deliver the most open and transparent means of evaluating and communicating the environmental and social impacts of furniture products in the built environment. 

During the lecture, it was noted that after a building has gone through the Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) Certification Process it could all be nullified due to the fact the furniture used in the Interior Design of the building could contain emit harmful toxins or it may not be of a sustainable origin.

This makes so much sense!

I was so happy that I attended this seminar because it gave me one more tool for my design arsenal.

The images of furniture in today's blog have been identified by Level and has been vetted by an independent third party certifier and its numeric marking 1, 2, or 3 indicates what threshold of certification it has achieved.
