The DPP in the furniture and design sector

Download our guide now to discover how the DPP will revolutionize furniture design and production: from material traceability to ecodesign, get ready to meet the new European requirements and enhance the durability and circularity of your creations.

The inclusion of furniture among the priority sectors of the ESPR Regulation marks a turning point for the industry, shifting the focus from purely linear aesthetics to measurable and verifiable circularity. The Digital Product Passport (DPP) will require manufacturers to track and make accessible the entire "resume" of a piece of furniture via a digital twin: from the certified origin of raw materials (such as wood, fabrics, and metals) and the list of chemical treatments (like glues and flame retardants), right down to its modularity, the availability of spare parts, and instructions for disassembly. For design brands, governing this data ecosystem is not solely an impending regulatory obligation to maintain access to the European market, but the strategic key to enabling new repair or second-hand services, protecting product authenticity against counterfeiting, and concretely demonstrating the value, durability, and true sustainability of their work to the consumer.
