DOMUS ROSNY - ONE STOP SHOP

Do you want to consume differently, respect the planet and the humans living on it?  The home does not escape this basic trend that is modifying our consumer habits and way we see the world.  It is not because you are "at home" that you should forget others.  Egotism is out of place.  "Consum'actors" are taking an increasingly ethical stance.  Exhibitors at MAISON & OBJET participate in this new attitude.  This leading homeware event has a heart and a mind.  Throughout the aisles and stands, you will find decorative items that are not there just for their looks.  The future of the Earth is a sensitive subject for many exhibitors who make furniture and objects all over the world and are committed to ethical and responsible decoration.  Ethical is chic.  Proof of this can be seen in products with a high ethical value that focus on respect for eco-systems, workers' rights in producer countries and sustainable development.  Enter the virtuous circle of decoration that does not jeopardise the natural balance of our planet and contributes to better distribution of wealth between rich and emerging countries.  Discover objects that have a soul, sensitive objects for an ethical home.

In order to take part in fair development, MAISON & OBJET, in partnership with ARJOWIGGINS decided to print the first two notebooks of the Inspirations Trends Book "PARADISE" on recycled Conqueror Velun paper, Lys 160 gr.

CONQUEROR LAUNCHES NEW FSC RECYCLED RANGE

Arjowiggins is proud to announce that the home of Conqueror, Stoneywood Mill in Aberdeen, has achieved FSC certification and is launching a new range of Conqueror Recycled - FSC Certified papers. 

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an independent organisation that aims to improve the responsible management of the world's forests.  This is achieved through a system of Forest Management and Chain of Custody certification, enabling timber to be tracked from the raw materials to the finished product.  There are national working groups in 35 countries including the UK.  FSC UK is a registered charity.  It is supported by NGO's including WWF, Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth and the Woodland Trust. 

First to market with the FSC's new "mixed source" label, the Conqueror range achieves the perfect balance through mixing virgin pulp with recycled fibres.  Composed of a minimum of 70% FSC Certified Mixed Source Virgin Pulp and a minimum of 25% Post Consumer Recycled Fibres, the papers offer unbeatable print performance and quality. 

Moreover, MAISON & OBJET supports the new label +=+, edited by CARAVAN.
