We want you to enjoy our furniture for a very long time. This is why we select our raw materials very carefully and only use the highest quality beech and birch veneers. Wood has an excellent ecological balance. Because wood is a piece of nature. A tree is one of the cornerstones of our ecological system. It protects the climate, binds carbon dioxide, and actively cleans the air in our atmosphere. The forest is home to many animals, habitat for plants, and a recreational oasis for people. With sustainable forestry, trees as a resource are harvested in a way that protects the forest. In Germany at least one new tree grows for each tree that is removed - the forest stand is increasing. Veneer is an authentic material with the unmistakable look of wood. It imparts naturalness and a sense of security in a mechanized, increasingly tougher environment. The surface is pleasingly warm to the touch, which is why veneer lends a comfortable atmosphere to any room. Veneered furniture is significantly more long-lasting and retains its value better than furniture with imitation wood. The UV varnish is easy to clean and minor scratches and dents are easily concealed. Every piece of furniture made with veneer has an distinctive character. Just like every tree, every veneer is a unique piece of nature. Wood is a resource in every stage of its use; from the tree to wood material to furniture. Even after its useful life it still has value, because it‘s not only biodegradable but it also serves in thermal recycling as supplier of energy. Added value in every step.

This type of finish is not real wood, but a wood imitation that often cannot be distinguished from real wood. Using photochemical or other technical processes, a simulated wood grain is transferred to a plastic surface. You can only be sure you are getting real wood if you see the veneer label. Veneer is
