Furniture That Lasts 300 Years

Ever bought a new chair and have it fall apart a couple of years later? They don’t make things like they used to do they? Well in fact the do. A Swedish company, Brikolör, guarantees its furniture will last 300 years.

I’ll repeat that, 300 years. That’s what sustainability is all about – building quality things that last. It is quite expensive though, around EUR 500 for a stool. Still that’s only EUR 1.66 for ever year it lasts. Beat that Ikea.
