Genuine birch timber veneer = naturally good quality. Warm and inviting.

We use veneer from genuine timber for most of our furniture. Wood has an excellent ecological balance and a tree is one of the basic foundations of our ecological system. It protects our atmosphere, bonds carbon dioxide and actively purifies the air. Our wood comes from sustainable forestry that maintains woodlands. At least one new tree has to be planted for each tree we use. Our wood is given the PEFC seal (Program for Recognizing Forest Certification Systems). Raw materials are processed with a low level of energy and its entire material is used: the chips and other residues are pressed into particleboard or used for generating energy.

Obtaining and using veneer is highly efficient because approximately 300 m 2 of furniture surface can be obtained from one log 2.4 meters long and ½ meter in diameter.

Wood has a high value even after it is no longer used because it is a

supplier of energy in thermal utilization. Its combustion is

designated CO2 neutral because only as much carbon dioxide is released as the tree took in ahead of time.

· Genuine wood · Natural appearance · Warm surface · Durable · Biologically friendly

· Renewable raw material · Healthy room atmosphere

Laminate = wood imitation

Laminate is not genuine wood, but an imitation. It is often visually difficult to distinguish its imitation surface from genuine wood. Sometimes terms used are wood design, wood appearance and wood decoration foil. All of these designations are an imitation surface.

· Imitation of the natural wood grain from plastic · Manufactured with a high level of energy · Cold surface
