How We Can Save the Planet
Mitigating and fighting climate change is about reducing CO₂ emissions, which (along with methane) represents ~90% of all greenhouse gases. Largely the result of burning fossil fuels to provide energy for transport, heating, electricity and industry, CO₂ emission effectively forms an insulation around the planet. Now as the Earth absorbs sunlight, the heat cannot easily…
Ikea Recycling Scheme Kicks Off, But Is It Enough?
Ikea has previously announced a mission statement to become climate positive by 2030. Today it rolled out its ‘buy back’ initiative across the UK, buying back and reselling customers’ second hand items, to avoid them ending up in ‘landfill’. This should come as a delight to a great many, especially younger student buyers and short…
New Bookcase & Cupboard Design
We have updated the way we make your bookcases and cupboards! The old design approach worked well for smaller items, such as bedside tables, but over the years we’ve received increased demand for larger units too. This prompted a bit of a rethink. The way Jali works is that, behind the scenes, we define some…

Of course, this is not a typical year. Nonetheless, the Jali elves will work diligently to prepare as much as we can in time for the last delivery…
Times Are Changing
Inscribed in stone on the Jali factory are the words Tempora Mutantur et Nos Mutamur in Illis. For all those not born in ancient Rome, this means “Times change, and we must change with them.” And these are strange times indeed. As part of the national response to COVID-19, our top priority is to help…
COVID-19 Statement
Jali operates out of a self-contained factory in the Kentish countryside, managed by a small team of local staff keen to keep production going. However, we are wary of the developing situation, and will ensure that all our packaging staff, as well as our delivery drivers and handlers, are all equipped with gloves. All are aware of public health…
Happy And Peaceful Holidays (And A Modern DIY New Year!)
Well, 2016 was quite a year, for so many reasons. At Jali, we’ve all had our individual responses to world affairs. But as a team, we can honestly say we have never had such wonderful feedback from our lovely customers. It’s fair to say that we’ve been amazed and delighted in equal degrees. By your…
Bookcases In Real Wood Veneers Are Here!
This year, the autumn foliage of the trees around the Jali building has been spectacular. Those vibrant hues seemed even more precious for knowing how short-lived the display would be – all that splendour would soon be – literally – blown away by November’s chilly winds. Luckily, the Jali way of capturing nature’s beauty produces…
