The finest wood

Wood has a warm radiance and an intuitive way of

adding a sense of well-being to interiors. It’s a remark-

able, natural material used for furniture since the first

chairs ever recorded in history, in Egypt and China.

In many ways, wooden furniture provides a truly

long-lasting perspective of use. For example, a raw

hardwood table can be sanded down and, to a great

extent, renewed and repaired. However, owners of

wooden furniture share the responsibility of maintaining

their furniture to fulfil a chair’s full life potential.

Traceability and replanting

For more than a decade, it has been our policy at

Fredericia to work with responsibly-managed forests.

Raw hardwoods forested from sources where no more

trees are felled than the forest can reproduce naturally.

The FSC

®

Forest Management certification verifies that

a forest is being managed in an environmentally-

responsible manner. The criteria for certification

extends from procedures that preserve biodiversity to

making sure that practices benefit the lives of workers

and the local community. The FSC

®

standard is being

gradually applied on a product level to our entire range

of furniture crafted with wood. This makes it easier for

professionals to specify responsibly-produced products

with documentation. Fredericia is FSC

®

certified under

the license number FSC

®

151292.

Wood is a vital part of the world’s ecological circuit

Our wood comes from forests, where oak trees are

cultivated for a slow growth, mixed with other tree

species which lead to a tight, resilient grain.

We believe it is our duty to create only high quality,

durable furniture out of respect for the 150 years that

it typically takes to grow a single oak tree suitable for

furniture production.
