What ‘sustainable furniture’ means for Azur Confort ?
High-quality materials
Materials play an important role in the durability of furniture. At Azur Confort, we make outdoor furniture for professionals. This implies two things: our furniture must be resistant to outdoor conditions (rain, snow, sun), and suitable for intensive use.
But when it comes to materials, the word sustainability takes on another meaning: environmental responsibility. The manufacture of furniture has a high environmental cost, which we don’t think about at first glance. In addition to the manufacture of the furniture, we have to take into account the culture of the wood, its impact on deforestation, the energy resources needed to harvest and transport it…
In 2020, we decided to abandon the use of exotic woods from Africa and Asia, and concentrate instead on Robinia and Chestnut, two species that are native to Europe and grown locally. Less popular than teak or iroko, but just as suitable for outdoor use.
Maintain and repair rather than replace
As a natural living material, wood evolves and develops a patina over time. Weathered or greyed wood does not mean your furniture needs to be replaced. With proper maintenance and the application of a new wood finish, your furniture can continue to serve you beautifully for many years to come.
Repairability is a key consideration in the design of our furniture. We also offer a refurbishment service to restore your pieces to their original condition. Most of our fabrics are replaceable, allowing worn slings to be renewed while preserving the original wooden frame. And if a wooden component is damaged, we can reuse the sound parts to rebuild the furniture, avoiding the need to discard an entire piece because of a single defective element.

Timeless design, quality materials, repairability: three commitments that allow our furniture to have 1000 lives. Azur Confort joins L’Ameublement Français for the new #MeublezVousFrancais campaign.
