Australian high-end timber furniture manufacturers, Beclau, have recently been awarded Good Environmental Choice Australia and Forest Stewardship Council Chain of Custody certifications.

The company uses production methods that adhere to high environmental standards, as well as using environmentally sensitive packaging, choice of adhesives and finishes. They are also the only Australian furniture manufacturers to import their own FSC certified timber.

Their accreditation with FSC and GECA is likely to assist Beclau in gaining commissions for Green Star projects. “A Beclau table made in an FSC certified timber such as European Oak will achieve full points under Mat-5 tables due to GECA accreditation, as well as contributing to Mat-11 Sustainable Timber,” their press release states.

Indesign Luminary: John Andrews

In the mid-1960s, he was the first Australian architect to achieve a high level of international recognition, especially in North America where he was seen as an American architect working in the then fashionable ‘brutalist’ style. But John Andrews has at times been less comfortable in Australia where several signature buildings have been treated with less respect than they deserve. Indesign thought it time to celebrate one of the icons of Australian architecture.
