We ’ re always searching for new approaches to move past the limitations of industry standard technology .

We want to ensure that our business practices will help to build a better world for the future generations our products are passed down to .”
Dunn is a firm believer in the power of both environmentally sustainable business practices , and environmentally sustainable craftmanship . She explains that “ it ’ s a common misconception that it ’ s impossible to make quality craftwork pieces in environmentally conscious ways . People think that it ’ s hard to use sustainable methods when creating metalwork pieces , but the truth is that quality craftsmanship is a form of sustainability in itself . I think that an increasing number of consumers are learning that it ’ s not really economically viable to buy something cheap only to
have it break and have to buy it over and over again . In a modern world where so many things seem temporary and uncertain , people want safety and security . They want products that are going to last that they don ’ t have to keep replacing . I think that ’ s an important aspect of our commitment to sustainability – our products don ’ t break easily . We have a lifetime warranty on our products . The longevity of our pieces and what that means for both our customers and the future of sustainable commerce makes me incredibly proud to be a part of what we ’ re doing here at Danforth .”
