Lifecycle by Living Edge

A Circular Furniture-as-a-Service (FaaS) Program

 

Rather than owning and managing your commercial fit out, engage with Lifecycle and experience the benefits of a truly circular, user-focused approach. With Lifecycle by Living Edge, you get more than just furniture. You get a partner dedicated to providing flexible, sustainable, and cost-effective furniture solutions tailored to your business needs.

 

Lifecycle is a circular FaaS alternative for commercial fit-out procurement. Don't settle for the traditional way of doing things.

Access the world’s most iconic and innovative designs from leading international brands and enjoy unparalleled flexibility to upgrade, downsize, or reconfigure your furniture as your needs evolve. Lifecycle by Living Edge is our circular furniture-as-a-service program designed for today's dynamic workplaces. Instead of buying furniture outright, you can simply use our furniture for a monthly fee. 
 
Our circular approach keeps furniture out of landfill by prioritising reuse, refurbishment, and recycling. Plus, we handle all maintenance and asset management, so your furniture always looks and functions like new. With Lifecycle, you save money, reduce waste, and create a more flexible, adaptable and inspiring work environment.

Lifecycle Process

 

Why commit to buying office furniture, when you can have the freedom to use it and change to suit your needs?

In today's dynamic workplace, where adaptability is key, traditional furniture procurement can be inflexible, costly, and environmentally unfriendly. With the Lifecycle program, Living Edge offers a smarter and more sustainable solution for a monthly fee.

 

A circular and sustainable approach

Forget the hassles of ownership. With Lifecycle, you get access to our best-in-class furniture and enjoy all the benefits without the upfront investment. Living Edge retains responsibility for the product over its life, ensuring that our items are always at their best and we ensure that all products in the program won’t end up in landfill.



“To move towards a more circular economy, we need to change the way we think about ownership. Product-as-a-Service models have been successfully adopted in other industries; I think the time is right to offer Furniture-as-a-Service and deliver the many benefits of the use-don’t-own approach”

Consider the Difference

 

 

Regular Furniture Procurement

Lifecycle: Furniture As-A-Service

Finance 100% payment up front Ease cashflow with low monthly payments
Environmental Impact Higher waste, larger carbon footprint* Reduced waste, lower carbon footprint*
Adaptability Limited adaptability Easily adaptable, add/remove furniture as your needs change
Asset Management Managed by the company Managed by Living Edge, includes RFID tracking
End-of-Life Solutions Dispose or sell, often ends in landfill Refurbish, reuse, recycle

*The current approach to furniture supply for commercial offices is estimated to create over 30,000 tonnes of furniture waste to landfill every year in Australia.
By extending product lifespans through refurbishment, reuse, and resale, we aim to reduce the replaced embodied energy associated with retiring and replacing furniture assets.
