Why Cheap Furniture Comes at a High Cost
This Circular Talk spotlights the downsides of fast furniture: the throwaway mentality and mass production behind it, and the environmental damage that follows. Together, speakers and guests explore why cheap trends often end up costing the environment and resources far more than they save and how durable, high-quality, circularly produced furniture offers a genuine alternative.
The talk delivers concrete starting points for more conscious consumption and sustainable interior design, moving the conversation from problem to practical change.
Guests include Dirk Olefs, Managing Director of Auping Germany and Deputy Chairman of the FMI Association, alongside Chris de Kraker, Head of Sales for the DACH region at Auping Germany.
Fab City Hamburg e.V. is organising the event, which takes place at FABRIC – Future Fashion Lab.
