Design Values
Design thinking is the essence of Jardan. Within our in-house design studio, we are continually fostering fresh young talent and developing our team. From interns that have progressed into product designers to skilled craftsmen who have grown with the business for over twenty-five years, we nurture and encourage the intersection of forward-thinking innovative design with timeless knowledge and expertise.
Respecting that architecture and furniture are intrinsically linked and exist harmoniously, the Australian design community often informs and inspires us. This woven together with a resounding awareness of fashion, design, art, film and nature lead to the brands multi-faceted and distinctive DNA.
Circularity in design
Our goal is to take full responsibility for our products throughout their entire life-cycle and drive resource efficiency and sustainable business practices throughout our operations.
We take inspiration from nature in our designs and in nature there is no such thing as waste – only raw materials for another purpose. Our aim is to fully participate in the circular economy - the recycling, recovery and re-use of materials used in our furniture. This starts with the design process itself. Jardan products are designed and made to last a lifetime. Repairs, if needed and where possible, are designed to be easily made. Our furniture is also made to order, eliminating waste from potential over supply. Utilising our manufacturing knowledge and state of the art facilities, we aim to enable easy product disassembly into separate material waste streams. Our product stewardship agreement means that our customers can return a product which we will re-purpose as whole or through disassembly.
