PIRWI

PIRWI was conceived as a platform to promote and distribute the great products coming out of young design firms in Mexico City, which previously had no way to reach international markets. Their products range broadly in materials and character but they all share a concern for sustainability, in environmental, social and economic terms.

The company's first product was the Knit Chair, designed by Emiliano Godoy and manufactured according to his 100BIO theory. The chair won a Bronze Leaf at the International Furniture Design Award in Asahikawa in 2005.

Forest Stewardship Council: Wood & Paper Industry
Even though technologies for refining post consumer pulp have improved, virgin fiber still represents a significant requirement in paper production. According to the FSC, only 35% of current consumption is met by using recycled fiber; in addition, approximately 25% of recovered fiber is exported out of US markets.

Why Sustainable Forestry?
Sustainable forestry provides a way of using trees and non-timber forest products to meet peoples' ever-increasing demand for wood and paper products, without degrading forest ecosystems. Manufacturers who support sustainable forestry practices increase protection of soils, waterways and wildlife, and they treat workers and neighboring communities fairly.

Pirwi

Did you know? PIRWI staff work in Mexico City and most of their suppliers are also based in the city, although many raw materials come from other countries. They use a furniture finish made in Germany, because they have found it to be best in environmental terms. They source American, Canadian and German wood because Mexican certified wood does not meet their standards.
They have recently started to manufacture their own plywood using certified veneer as well as 100% cotton ropes. Since there are currently no 100% organic cotton ropes commercially available, Pirwi manufactures their own.
