asked Alistair Sloan (founder)
about The Living Furniture
Project.
By Jo-Ann Worthington

The Living Furniture Project
creates beautiful bespoke
furniture, handcrafted to your
specifications by experienced
and talented designers and
furniture makers. Amazing,
but not necessarily unique
you ask?

Green This Season MAGAZINE July 2013

Well, the bespoke furniture produced by the Living
Furniture Project is made by homeless Apprentices
in their fully equipped workshop. Dedicated to
sustainability- upcycling old unwanted furniture or
working with waste materials reclaimed from the
local area, ensuring that every piece is unique. This
innovative way of working ensures that homeless
people in London can receive an income while
learning a valuable trade and the customer receives a
beautifully crafted and socially positive end-product.
