We align our sustainable mission with Unit-
ed Nations Global Goals for Sustainable De-
velopment — a framework agreed by 193
nations, organized in 17 Sustainable Devel-
opment Goals to improve our planets and
living conditions towards 2030.
Spanning from using FSC certified wood
and reusing wood waste, we now upcycle
aluminum, ocean plastic waste and post-in-
dustrial waste in our designs. We commis-
sion talented and established designers,
creating timeless designs, that are manufac-
tured with respect for people, local crafts-
manship and the materials used. Our de-
signs have clear references to Scandinavian
minimalism that in all its simplicity and
durability will stand the test of time.
We believe that beautiful design can moti-
vate a global audience to support responsi-
ble consumption and production, preserv-
ing life on land and below water, to take
climate action and entering partnerships
around the world to create a better tomor-
row. As a manufacturer of both furniture
and lighting we have committed to support
the goal of ’Affordable and Clean Energy’ by
only manufacturing LED lighting (SDG 7)
and supporting ’Responsible Consumption
and Production’ (SDG 12). When producing
furniture from FSC certified wood we sup-
port well-managed forestry and commit to
the goal of protecting ’Life on land’ (SDG 15).
After years of research, we partnered with
one of the only recycling plants for fishnets
in the world located in Denmark in order
to upcycle old, discarded and polluting fish-
nets to furniture design and help preserving
’Life below water’ (SDG 14).
We believe that ethical production methods
also relate to the conditions of our crafts-
men and their incentive to support our
journey, why we align our strategy with ’De-
cent work and economic growth’ (SDG 8). Our
journey and ambitions to create a better to-
morrow depends on our partnerships.
Together with our partners around the
world we strive to balance the creation of
beautiful design with production methods
securing a better impact on our people
and planet, aligned with ’Partnerships for the
Goals’ (SDG 17).
