S-CAB Focuses on Sustainability In Materials & Way of Life

14 letters. Repeated like a mantra, often overused and at times drained of all meaning. Today, sustainability can no longer be merely a word – it must become action. Not just a comforting label, but real choices that transform materials, processes and products into responsible gestures that are both visible and enduring. Products built to stand the test of time.
This is the path S-CAB has chosen: creating objects that fit seamlessly into people’s lives while cutting waste, bulk and resource consumption.
Three examples say it all. Atomo, the table with a die-cast aluminum base and steel legs by Spalvieri & Del Ciotto, combines elegance with stability. The Brezza series, designed by Alessandro Stabile, uses fabrics woven from recycled yarn, no adhesives, and features stackable frames that reduce space and CO₂ during transport. The Mentha chair by Archirivolto combines meticulous attention to detail with sustainable materials: crafted from post-consumer recycled plastic (PCR) and ICMQ-certified, it’s the flagship of the Go Green collection.
These products are designed to be taken apart, disassembled and newly recycled at the end of their life, and are created to last. FSC®-certified wood from responsibly managed forests, eco-friendly fibers and fabrics made from recycled waste and PET bottles are also used.
Each plastic component carries the ISO 11469:2001 marking to aid recycling, while quality underpins every stage of production, ensuring optimal mechanical strength and resistance to corrosion for metals, and full compliance with European standards for shells and frames. CATAS certification is an additional guarantee of the quality of the raw materials and finished products.
For S-CAB, sustainability is about people as well as materials: workplace safety, prevention, gender equality, inclusion. Because quality is measured not just by products, but by the value placed on human capital.
Since 2023, the Coccaglio plant has housed 3,474 photovoltaic panels across 13,450 m2, producing 1,632,780 kW of energy and cutting reliance on polluting fossil fuels. Behind the beauty of many design pieces today lie tangible solutions. Design that collaborates with nature as opposed to exploiting it.
Because sustainability is not just a technique – it’s a way of seeing the world. It’s about choosing quality over quantity, rekindling a connection with objects, with traditions, with natural cycles.
