Sanders Universe is Ditre Italia‘s first green project. Born from the precious collaboration with the fashion designer Tiziano Guardini, talented creator of eco-sustainable fashion collections, the 100% green sofa is a real innovation within the company’s proposal.

This new interpretation of the iconic Sanders Air (designed by Stefano Spessotto) presents new exclusive characteristics: a green structure; eco-sustainable fabrics and the particular animal-free and eco-friendly padding, as alternative to goose down.

Sanders Universe can be declined in four different compositions, inspired by the essential elements of nature: earth, fire, air and water, each of them defined by a color palette, that recalls the element to which it is linked.

Recently awarded with the prestigious recognition of the Archiproducts Design Awards, – Special Sustainability Mention – in the Furniture category, the sofa defined “with an eco-sustainable dress” is one of the concrete symbols of the new Greenwear philosophy.

The green perspective also extends to the new eco-friendly fabrics, part of Ditre Italia proposal, which contain yarns regenerated from waste materials, such as used clothing, plastic bottles, fishing nets etc …
At the end of their life cycle, these items are not disposed in landfills: they are recovered and regenerated, through a complex physico-chemical decomposition process. This allows to obtain a yarn with the same performance characteristics and quality of a similar virgin product.

The new wide variety of eco-friendly fabrics and colors comes from a refined selection, that allows the consumer to customize the products to the maximum.

Preferring this type of coating has many advantages: a lower consumption of energy and water; less waste and pollution; well-being of both the person and the environment.

The environmental protection and the attention to the well-being of the person also includes the responsible behaviour even in the daily actions, such as the printing of catalogues.

Ditre Italia entrusts the certified print house FSC® – Forest Stewardship Council® for catalogues printing. This brand guarantees that the cellulose contained in the paper comes from responsibly managed sources.

The printing technique, defined Premium Color Print, conceived and registered by Grafiche Antiga, allows the use of textured or non-textured papers, with results equivalent to UV printing, with the significant advantage of environmental sustainability.
This guarantees the use of vegetable-based offset inks, less aggressive de-ink processes and color retention, brilliance and tonality even in uncoated papers.

The printings are also certified “stampato con il sole”, a logo that ensures at the same time a low environmental impact, thanks to the photovoltaic system of the factories where they are made, and at the same time an excellent quality standard.

Reduce, reuse, recycle. The 3 Rs are the mantra of the present that looks to the future. These are the principles on which the Longwear project is based, which was created to give a second life to your furniture pieces.

Ditre Italia – after a careful evaluation of each model by a dedicated team – replaces the upholstering and acts on the structural parts of each sofa, sofa bed, armchair or bed made from 2015 onwards.

Reduce waste, reuse goods, recycle worn-out parts. And everything is back to normal. Giving a second life to products means giving more life to the Planet.
