Sustainable design is crucial in the hospitality industry, and our Mara fabric exemplifies this commitment. Made in the USA from upcycled materials, Mara is a PFAS/PFC chemical-free performance fabric that not only enhances aesthetic appeal but also prioritizes environmental responsibility. Its easy-to-clean properties and inherent stain resistance make it an ideal choice for high-traffic areas, reducing the need for harsh chemicals.

In the ocean, we squirm when seaweed dares to tangle around our feet, yet from supermarket shelves, we eagerly grab and devour every bite.☝️ Seaweed stands as nature's gift that keeps on giving, but who could have imagined it would one day become an eco-friendly source of fibre for textile furniture? SeaCell is a fibre that harnesses seaweed's properties, infusing them into wearable and furniture fabrics. Packed with vitamins, amino acids, and minerals, it offers a softer alternative to synthetic fabrics commonly found on today's high streets. Applied to busy offices where every furniture is shared, this proves especially beneficial in seamlessly intersecting sustainability with health.🍃 ••• #pattrnworkspace #officedesign #commercialoffice #londonoffices #officespace #officefurniture #interiordesign #workplacedesign #modernfurniture #officerevamp #officedecor #seacell #innovation

🌱 From Industry to Retail: My Journey with Recycled Materials and Modular Furniture  As a product designer turned retail imaginator, I’ve always loved #multifunctional objects—pieces that can be repurposed and make a lasting, positive impact on the planet. Over the years, I witnessed firsthand just how much material goes to waste in the retail sector, often wondering: how can we achieve more with less? ♻️ Why do we champion modular and recycled materials? #Flexibility: Modular designs can be rearranged and repurposed as needs evolve. #PositiveImpact: Transforming waste into functional pieces aligns with our #Sustainability mission. #CircularEconomy: We keep materials in circulation, reducing the demand for new raw resources.  🌟 Sustainable Retail, Happy Retail! Ready to give your space a sustainable transformation? With Alai Retail, it’s possible! 🙌🏻 #RetailDesign #SustainableDesign #EcoFriendly #AlaiRetail #RetailInnovation
