OUR COMMITMENT
As a vertically integrated company, we know we are in
a unique position to contribute to a sustainable shift in
the industry.
From design to the sourcing of raw materials, packaging
and testing, we pay great attention to environmental
protection and consumer safety throughout the
product-development process. As a company, we work
to minimise waste and close the loop toward circularity.
Together with our partners, we strive to do our
humble share.
Just as society and the industry evolve, so do we.
We know there is no finish line in this journey and
continue our efforts to constantly improve our products
and operations.
Our sustainability commitment
DURABILITY BY DESIGN
We pay particular attention to the quality of our
products, not only during the development stage, but
throughout the entire life cycle. We believe that durability
and sustainability start with choosing the right quality
material, and wooden products are particularly suited
for refurbishment.
Our team is always available to advise on how to care
for products and thus extend their lifespan, as well as
how to repair them. When developing new products, we
consider repairability at the earliest design stage. Where
possible, we provide spare parts to further extend the
life of our products.
THE ORIGIN OF OUR WOOD
The ultimate noble and renewable material, all our wood
is sourced from responsibly and carefully managed
forests compliant with the EU Timber Regulations and
the Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade
(FLEGT) Action Plan. In addition, our wood sourced
from Indonesia is verified under the Indonesian Timber
Legality Assurance System (SVLK).
Our teak collection includes products certified as FSC®
which are clearly labelled in the catalogue. Finally, we
carry the FSC® CoC (Chain of Custody) certification of
our distribution centres.
We believe that durability and
sustainability start with choosing
the right quality material, and
wooden products are particularly
suited for refurbishment.
OUR COMMITMENT
FOCUS ON QUALITY
Producing furniture and accessories at the highest
quality, strength and safety is extremely important to
us. Our internal protocols are based on the standards
set by ANSI (American National Standards Institute)
and BIFMA (North American Business and Institutional
Furniture Manufacturers Association).
Moreover, specific products within our collections are
certified by independent external facilities in order to
meet the European requirements for contract-grade
use. Products also meet specific requirements based
around ecological and health regulations such as toxic
substance use and flammability.
WASTE REDUCTION AND CIRCULARITY
We want to remain as environmentally friendly as
possible, working to reduce waste from the earliest
design stage. With this principle, we design to reduce
or reuse as much scrap wood as possible. Production
waste such as leftover logs, wood and sawdust are
reused for other purposes.
With full control over the (re)design, production,
distribution, refurbishing and recycling processes,
we are developing a vision for sustainability based
on designing for circularity and lengthening
product lifespans.
