At Ivan Aleksander, sustainability isn't just a buzzword; it's the very essence of our creative spirit and the cornerstone of our commitment to conscientious customers and the broader mission of conservation.
Nestled in the serene Bulgarian countryside, this is a eco-minded artisan company. We strive to find beauty in the rough and inspire a harmonious co-existence with nature through our handmade designs.
Our commitment to sustainability begins with sourcing all materials from the local community. Reclaimed wood, linseed oil and biological beeswax are provided by our community, minimising environmental impact and supporting local economies
Rather than synthetic finishes made with toxic chemicals, we use earth’s natural products like beeswax and home made organic linseed oil. Where we do use varnish, it is water based.
Our design philosophy, Eco-logical Design, integrates environmental concerns into every production stage, balancing ecological and economic needs
Whether sourced from old buildings or recovered from forests, our timber is carefully selected to minimise environmental impact. We steer clear of commercially logged plantations.
Waste is viewed as a design flaw as an artisans, who breathes new life into damaged or decaying products. From crafting new pieces from old wood to transforming antiques into shabby chic creations, we minimise waste and maximise utility. At Ivan Aleksander, waste is seen as an opportunity for creativity and environmental responsibility
