Trees in forests act as important carbon storages for the planet. When furniture is made from them, carbon dioxide is still stored in the wood. The longer the life of a piece of furniture, the longer the carbon dioxide is stored and not released into the biological cycle. This is an important reason why we strive to design and make furniture that has a long lifespan.

We design with waste in mind. Many of our small items are designed from leftover pieces of larger furniture. The Day&Night sofa bed is a prime example. The standard length of the logs that come into the factory is 3 metres and the length of the sofa is 2 metres (bed size). This means that after the finishing allowance, there is approximately 80 cm of waste in the manufacturing process. These pieces are used to make the Renki shelf and small accessories collection. The carbon footprint of this collection is almost zero, as the emissions are already included in the carbon footprint of the sofa bed.

Forests and their regeneration are important to us. That is why we have chosen a local tree planting operator as our carbon offset partner. Read more about our offsetting > here.
