EVERY DAY IS EARTH DAY

It is our belief that selecting heritage furnishings contributes to developing an industry that foregrounds durability and craftsmanship, promoting stronger environmental stewardship.

MR. recognizes the inherent challenges in navigating global supply chains for the transport and sale of contemporary design goods. Throughout the process—from fabrication to shipping—we work closely with our brand partners to address our environmental impact and reduce our carbon footprint whenever possible.

We carefully select firms that prioritize and share our mission, and look to further the conversation with clients and suppliers in all of our projects.

We are perpetually inspired by several of our partners like PP Møbler, cc-tapis, Tacchini, Mater and others as they chart new approaches.

We are proud to drive this vital work forward, prioritizing conservation and sustainability initiatives across all sectors of our work.

Lately all I’m talking about are tariffs. First, I’ve panicked and worried about what that means for my business, for my employees, for the vendors we work with, for our clients.
And then, I think about acting and getting ahead of this mess and making it coherent and understandable for my team and for clients. But then, the rules change and I have to stop and regroup and reach out to my vendors and dig deeper into understanding each and every product that we carry and sell. And it’s a lot of products and it’s a lot of moving parts. And in all of this, I’ve learned two things:

1. Manufacturers cannot exist alone, they exist in industries.

2. Industries exist in communities.

And here we are back to what I have been trying to grow in my one—well now, two—lone showroom(s): a community. A community of colleagues, vendors, designers, friends, artists, and all the people that want to discover the beauty that surrounds us.

The thing is, niche industry exists in small areas because more than one manufacturer is there. Knowledge is shared, machinery is built around industry, supplier economies and complex networks are created. And industries cannot just be created instantly – most of our manufacturers claim generations of craftspeople developing techniques and designs for 50, 75, and some well over 100 years. So tearing down these walls of global connection will directly impact my own business, my own community. And living in isolation is not the future I want.

I will continue to think and talk about tariffs as long as they exist and the threat remains. I hope to be on the other side of all of this soon with clarity and continued connection with my larger design community at MR.
