The wood we use
As part of our DNA, we work with natural materials with durable properties that are sourced responsibly.
We use water-based lacquer for all our wooden products. This choice reduces the emission of harmful substances significantly, leading to better indoor and outdoor air quality and improved working conditions during production. The water-based lacquer is almost translucent, but protects the woods from stains.
Types of wood
In the crafting of our furniture we use oak and ash as our primary wood choices due to their exceptional qualities.
Ash
Besides its durability, ash stands out for its flexibility, making it a good choice for crafting curved furniture pieces that require bending without compromising strength. Ash wood exhibits remarkable shock resistance, making it suitable where impact resistance is essential.
Shock-resistant refers to the wood's ability to absorb sudden impacts or shocks without being easily damaged. This is particularly valuable in applications where the wood might experience sudden force or impact, such as in furniture or structures subjected to heavy use, potentially protecting them from damage or breakage. Ash's shock resistance can contribute to its longevity and durability.
Oak
Renowned for its strength and durability, oak's robust nature makes it highly resistant to wear and tear. Despite being a hardwood, oak is relatively easy to work with, facilitating detailed designs and finishes. Its ability to readily accept stains and finishes allows for a wide range of design expressions.
Wood veneer
An often overlooked aspect of wood veneer, in comparison to solid wood, is its efficient use of resources. Veneer optimizes timber usage by efficiently utilizing thin slices to cover larger areas, making use of more parts of the log. This approach significantly reduces waste and essentially means felling less trees.
A trusted production partner
All of our wooden furniture is produced by Kvist, renowned for their high-quality wood furniture. Since 2021, they have ensured 100% green electricity derived from renewable sources, including hydropower, wind and solar energy in their production facilities in Denmark and Latvia by using climate certificates. Furthermore, they hold ISO 45001 and ISO 9001 certifications, which represent ISO standards for occupational health and safety management systems. The wood waste from the production is turned into briquettes for heating.
