Closing the loop on furniture – for real, brings together Cult and Cultivated to explore how genuine circular outcomes are achieved through partnership. Drawing on real project case studies - from commercial workplaces to cultural icons - this session demonstrates how collaboration between furniture retailers, refurbishment specialists, designers and builders can extend product life, reduce waste and create measurable value. They will share practical lessons on specifying for refurbishment, starting early with audits, working with local economies, and unlocking additional waste streams beyond furniture. Attendees will leave with actionable tips, clear pitfalls to avoid, and examples of how circular strategies can strengthen storytelling, stakeholder engagement and ESG reporting - while making projects easier, more efficient and more meaningful for everyone involved.
