Profile: Podmarket - Pty Ltd |
Home > Enterprise Profiles > Podmarket |
Driven by Fiona McKenzie and Harry Strouzas, PodMarket is passionate about furniture design. Design that’s practical, long lasting, beautiful, easy to use, valuable, made using quality materials and which feels good.
FURTHER DETAILS:
At PodMarket we like thinking things through, down to the letter, or number. God is in the detail: don’t cut corners, use your talent, work hard, follow up…….and get it right! These philosophies lie behind everything PodMarket does. Change. Doing different things isn’t always easy. But putting it bluntly, we think the world should (and can) be a better place. So we find ourselves often doing things differently, and always thinking up new things, even though that’s harder. Then we like to make them look easy. And beautiful. That’s harder again. PodMarket is into new stuff, otherwise known as innovation. For this reason “they” can’t fit us into their normal boxes, although they will continue to try. At PodMarket, we always try to design better. We always try to improve and do better. This is what we stand for and aim to achieve: a) Design special products that people desire and really want to keep and use for many, many years. b) Design for sustainable fabrication and use: that is, minimise energy use during fabrication, minimise energy use in products that require ongoing power (like houses and other buildings), avoid waste, avoid toxic chemicals where possible, use materials that require minimal upkeep over time, use materials that last for a long time, design for the future, not for short term gain. c) Manufacture these products to very high standards to allow people to use and enjoy them for many, many years. d) Don’t add to the plethora of poorly designed and manufactured items which are used for a minimal periods of time prior to being disposed of and never thought of again. e) Eliminate the use of toxic materials and processes throughout our manufactured products. f) Utilise sustainably sourced raw materials as well as recycled and biodegradable ones where possible. g) Design products that are minimalistic at their core, in the sense that they are not at all wasteful in their usage of precious raw materials. Place the focus back on the design process, to try and perfect the design itself. h) Offer various methods of delivery/shipping to provide customers with alternatives to traditional bulky and wasteful shipping practices.
