Sustainable
Hi!
>He is best known for his sustainable chair designs which, as well as being comfortable to sit in, are also elegant and expressive.
What does "sustainable" mean in this context?
Could it mean "ageless" like some art piece that people would love hundred years from now?
Or self-sustainable, well balanced chair?
Or environmentally sustainable?
My guess is the first one because chairs are usually self sustainable (except rocking chairs or some very unique chairs) and there is no mention of his environmental activity in other part of the material.
Thank you!
