Value added
Our Reuse strategy provided MAN with not only a great sustainability story but also a saving to the furniture budget. The client’s desire was to reuse as many pieces of furniture as possible without compromising the overall design intent. This was a very organic process that required key client input as we worked through the process to a very satisfactory split of new and reuse.
