Was uns ausmacht
What makes us different
We feel deeply connected to the forest as a valuable habitat. This renewable material provides us with
one of the most attractive materials; no imitation can come close to its natural properties. Even long after
it has been cut and processed, the wood provides an enhanced indoor climate and healthy environment
for many decades.
Anchored in traditional crafts, this organic natural product is one of the oldest materials to be
processed by human hands, a cultural asset.
The natural aesthetic of the wood stimulates our senses, its incomparable tactile character
touches our innermost being and after all these years still makes our hearts beat faster whenever a new
piece of furniture is produced from the trunk of a tree.
Our design language is intentionally pure and unostentatious because solid wood is already full of
character, due to its organic structure. Each growth ring depicts part of the life history of an entire forest.
In cooperation with international designers, we develop concepts that reach people all over
the world who share our attitude. The design follows contemporary needs and resourcesaving use. Over
the course of time each piece of our furniture remains a favourite piece.

Our designs are a tribute to the pure, the purity of the material and the durability of the form. Out of this
conviction, we are committed to acting sustainably and feel obligated to the principle of making products
that can be repaired, as this is the only way to ensure their longevity over generations. Repair and main-
tenance deepen the relationship between the person and the product.
We process only hardwoods from sustainable forestry and forego chemical treatment of the
wood. The surfaces are treated with organic oils and left porous, allowing our furniture to breathe and
retain their natural character.
