Environmental

responsibilities

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.
