Why we rely on European wood and durable design
Sustainability is a big word. Perhaps too big to use lightly. In an industry that likes to make promises, we believe in something simpler: taking responsibility for what we can actually influence. Not abstract compensation, but decisions that begin right here in our workshop.
We don't control the rainforest, we control our craft.
As a design manufacturer, we don't make promises we can't physically verify on the other side of the world. Instead, we focus on what we can control: local integrity. Our wood is FSC-certified, our supply chains are short, and our production takes place where we live. We don't plant imaginary trees—we build furniture that lasts.
"An armchair for life – and beyond."
Good design ages gracefully. Should your upholstery show signs of wear after 8 years, or if an accident has occurred, we offer a dedicated repair service. We replace the upholstery instead of the entire chair. We'll collect the piece of furniture from you – naturally in a previously used box – because for us, conserving resources means keeping the cycle small.
Logistics trumps labels: Why you won't find teak at our store
We primarily use beech and oak out of conviction. Why? Because we believe in the honesty of materials. Teak may be a classic... Mid-Century It could be designs, but it inevitably comes from the other side of the world. Even an FSC label doesn't change the poor CO₂ footprint of a journey across the oceans. We focus on what grows locally – for furniture that is as ecologically sound as its construction.
Our exception rule: Upon request, we are happy to use other types of wood for your unique piece. However, we remain true to our principles: We only use wood that didn't have to travel to us in a container. If it was grown in Europe and meets our quality standards, we'll make it happen. We leave everything else to the mass market.
