As a manufacturer of furniture, we believe that our greatest positive impact is done
by creating furniture in a quality and design that can last for generations, and thereby
eliminate the need for frequent replacements.
For several years we have worked systematically with making responsible changes.
Consideration for the environment affects which models we put into production as well
as our choice of materials, how they are processed, and how the furniture is packaged
and transported.
A continuous process
Both our exterior and rattan furniture is handcrafted in Indonesia using the same
traditional craftmanship. Our Exterior furniture is made of aluminum and ArtFibre. The
aluminum is partly recycled, and for 2024 we are excited to also present outdoor baskets
made with 70 % recycled ArtFibre. We produce our own ArtFibre and with our new
outdoor baskets, ArtFibre waste from our production have been put into a continuous
system ensuring high quality recycling of the waste material. In the future we hope to be
able to produce ArtFibre from more sources of recycled plastic.
When working with new responsible initiatives we always use our common sense. The
new initiatives need to make sense – and make a real difference. We do not wish to use
more recycled materials if this means that we need to transport the materials from far
away or if it compromises our high demands for durability. It is truly a balancing act, and
we are continuously doing our best to keep this balance.
All waste from our production is collected and recycled. We do this because it is common
sense but also because it is an unavoidable part of Indonesian culture. ArtFibre waste
goes back into the production, and aluminum waste is sold back to the supplier who
recycles the scraps. We believe in the importance of making furniture of recyclable
materials. Therefore, our exterior furniture after end use can be taken apart and sorted
into clean, recyclable materials.
Since 2013, we have been certified by ISO14001. Through this certification, we have
committed ourselves to a responsible environmental policy as well as an ongoing focus
on exploring new possible ways to develop and improve our business.
