Unlike other companies, we've been using sustainably sourced wood from the very beginning - since we launched in 2005. The timber we use comes from managed forests, which adheres to strict guidelines to prevent deforestation.

All our wood products (like our sofa frames, and wooden dining tables and chairs) meet European Timber Regulation (EUTR) standards and we've gone beyond this with a commitment to use managed plantation timber exclusively.

We use as much of the plantation timber as possible to reduce wastage of the raw material:
• The sustainable solid wood types that we use in our furniture include poplar and rubberwood
• The MDF we use comes from rubberwood and utilises nearly all of the timber
• Oak veneer is made from thinly slicing the timber of the oak tree and uses less wood to produce the same look as solid wood furniture, making it a sustainable option

Although most furniture companies still rely on virgin plastics as a raw material, but new recycled plastics can be a better choice:

• Durable and cost-effective
• Reduce the need for more, new oil-based materials
• Divert virgin plastics from landfills

For that reason, we've started to replace virgin plastics with recycled in our fabrics, wherever possible. The backing materials aren't yet available in any recycled form in the market - as soon as they are, we'll use them in our products.

Our recycled fabrics are independently certified by the Global Recycle Standard (GRS) and rigorously tested for everyday use. Our goal is to fully transition to recycled fabrics by end-2024.
