Sustainable product series: Tables
Return to JournalAt Dodds and Shute, we care deeply about understanding our supply chain – how furniture products are made, where, out of what materials and by whom. In 2018, we launched our supplier sustainability audit. We have now gathered data on over 200 FF&E manufacturers’ practices. Suppliers who score above 70% are considered on our sustainability ranking list.
Here are some of the tables from our sustainable suppliers that we’ve been using on our projects lately.
Piece Conference Table, by Edsbyn
Edsbyn, a leading Scandinavian furniture manufacturer with roots dating back to 1899, integrates sustainability across social, environmental, and economic dimensions. The company supports renewable energy by using bioenergy from waste wood for production and is committed to reducing emissions. All input materials are 100% recyclable, with products like the EASE screen system crafted from recycled textiles and PET bottles. As the first office furniture company approved for the Nordic Ecolabel, Edsbyn upholds rigorous environmental and quality standards, further certified by ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.
The Piece Conference Table is designed for versatility, available in a variety of heights and shapes, and is available with a unique accessory, Piece Serve, which can be used as a storage tray, ice bucket, or planter.
- Möbelfakta certified.
- Designed for disassembly.
- 70% of the MDF (medium-density fiberboard) and 25% of the steel recycled, a total of 52% recycled materials overall.
- 100% recyclable materials.
We recently used the Piece Conference Table at the new Virgin head office, Whitfield Studio. See more from this project here.
Wooden Dowel Table, by Very Good and Proper
Very Good & Proper operates with a "sustainability through longevity" philosophy, focusing on durable, repairable products to reduce waste and preserve resources. They integrate sustainability into their operations, using 100% renewable energy in factories and sourcing materials responsibly in the UK and Hungary. As FISP members and FSC™ certified, they emphasise durability, repairability, and waste reduction. The Latte Chair is a good example of this philosophy, featuring a biocomposite shell of hemp and 100% recycled plastic, which reduces its CO2 footprint by 85% compared to standard plastic chairs.
The Wooden Dowel Table is a versatile and elegantly designed piece, featuring a solid timber frame and distinctive 'dowel' legs.
- Designed for disassembly.
- 100% sustainable timber.
- Manufactured in Slovenia.
- 97.2% renewable contents and 99.4% recyclable components.
- Flat-pack shipping for eco-friendly transport.

Reverse Conference, by Andreu World
Andreu World, a family-run company with over 65 years of experience, leads in sustainability as the first to achieve full FSC® certification. As a carbon-neutral business powered entirely by renewable energy, they hold certifications like B Corp, Indoor Advantage Gold, and Cradle to Cradle. Their commitment extends to circular economy principles, reflected in LEVEL 3® certification and eco-friendly innovations like their Circular ONE® fabric, made from recycled PET bottles and textile waste.
The Reverse Conference table is highly versatile, offering customisable sizes, shapes, and materials, making it ideal for residential, collaborative, and work spaces.
We recently used the Reverse conference table on our 80 Goswell Road project, see more here.
P.O.V. Table, by TON
TON, a Czech furniture brand, combines traditional bentwood craftsmanship with modern sustainability practices. Sourcing from local and PEFC-certified forests, the company ensures responsible material use and actively replants trees to combat deforestation. TON's commitment to circularity is reflected in its repair and take-back programme, which extends product life cycles. Engaging the community, TON recently collaborated with students to upcycle production waste into unique interior accessories, such as bowls and clocks. This holistic approach highlights TON’s dedication to environmental responsibility and timeless design.
The P.O.V. Table from TON showcases a modular design that focuses on adaptability and sustainability.

The company, B Corp certified in 2023, is carbon neutral and integrates sustainability at every level. They use timber waste for factory heating and incorporate recycled materials like Rawcore, while ensuring their linoleum is biodegradable and steel is 100% recyclable. With a focus on longevity, Rawside continues to offer eco-conscious solutions for modern workplaces.
