Embracing the Future of Events: Circular Furniture-as-a-Service

On the 8th and 15th of February 2024, Valiant proudly presented our latest eco-friendly collections and styling expertise at two esteemed venues: The Machine Hall in Sydney's vibrant CBD and Linden New Art, a unique contemporary art gallery in Melbourne's St Kilda.

Our latest innovations mark a significant leap forward in our mission to combat 'fast furniture' and repurpose ocean and landfill plastics into inspiring rental pieces. Through ReforaStone, we've transformed discarded plastic waste into stunning furniture, reducing the demand for raw materials and diverting waste from landfills. Crafted meticulously from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic, our new sustainable ranges, including ReforaStone, Sierra Lounging, and Clover Dining Chair.

The new sustainable ranges are now available for hire in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria:

ReforaStone: Crafted from 100% post-consumer recycled plastics, ReforaStone offers a stylish terrazzo appearance suitable for indoor and outdoor use, transforming any space with its eco-friendly durability.

Sierra Lounging: Versatile and eye-catching, Sierra Lounging features occasional chairs, modular sofas, and ottomans upholstered in fabric made from 100% recycled plastic bottles, available in four color options.

Clover Dining Chair: Impress guests with the contemporary design and plush upholstery of Clover Dining Chair, crafted from 100% recycled bottles (144 bottles per chair). Versatile and durable, it adds elegance and comfort to any occasion. Valiant, deeply committed to sustainability, is Australia's first 100% carbon-neutral furniture hire business, with a focus on minimizing environmental impact and community involvement.

At Valiant, sustainability isn't just a trend—it's ingrained in our DNA. From minimizing reliance on extraction and disposal to fostering partnerships aimed at recycling and repurposing materials, we're dedicated to shaping a more environmentally conscious future. Collaborations with organizations like the Purpose Conference and support for recycling science initiatives underscore our commitment to driving positive change.

For over 60 years, Valiant has led the charge in climate action and sustainability within the furniture rental industry. Our journey towards a circular economy and our pursuit of B Corp Certification reflect our unwavering dedication to environmental stewardship. Through partnerships like Trace, we actively fund climate projects to eliminate emissions and progress towards NetZero.

Brian Lindeman, our Managing Director, encapsulates our ethos: "We've combined contemporary design with innovative furniture developed with the planet in mind. As Australia's first 100% carbon offset furniture hire and styling company, we're actively closing the loop via a circular economy."

Through our range of high-quality pieces crafted from recycled plastics, we stand at the forefront of inspiring sustainable practices. Our commitment extends beyond product creation to responsible sourcing and end-of-life solutions, including donations to local charities and repurposing initiatives.

The recent event showcased our dedication to sustainability, with insights drawn from international design shows like Milan Design Week. Creative Director Samuel Clarke discussed how these influences shaped our 2023/2024 furniture range, emphasizing style and innovation in a sustainable way.

Our new ranges, such as Selena Lounging and Chloe Dining Chairs, highlight our ongoing commitment to sustainability. By repurposing plastic bottles into upholstery, we not only reduce waste but also offer durable and stylish furniture solutions.

In a world where furniture waste reaches staggering levels, sustainability is paramount. As event organizers increasingly prioritize sustainability alongside style, Valiant remains at the forefront, driving positive change within the furniture industry and beyond.
