1.2 CIRCULAR ECONOMY

In our linear economic system, we often create composite products and

bring raw materials into an irreversible state. Often, at the end of their life,

the products end up in landfill without any possibility of reuse. In this way,

valuable resources are merely consumed instead of being put to good use

again and again. The circular economy works differently. Issues such as

reparability, longevity, recycling potential or separability go hand in hand

with the design and manufacture of sustainable products and must already

be considered in the design process. Products are planned so that they can

be reused, repaired, or recycled in the future. We firmly believe that all

materials are valuable raw materials that need to be reused. That is why we

check all products for their recycling potential, ecological footprint, and act

according to our internal mission statement.

Furniture in circulation

The wood is taken from the forest, via the sawmills to the nearby producers,

where it is processed into furniture, partly with the help of solar energy.

Due to the high modularity of the furniture, it can then be transported to the

customer in an energy-efficient way in “flat pack format”.

Basically, our furniture is of such high quality that it will be used for gene-

rations anyway. Due to the high reparability of solid wood and the modular

construction of the products, repair is greatly simplified and possible at any

time. In this way, we can realise an almost endless phase of use.

If a piece of furniture should become

irreparable, all materials can be separated

from each other.

The wood then corresponds to the waste wood category A2 and can be

recycled into wood materials of higher value, thus creating new resources

and circulating in technological cycles for a long time. Some native wooden

elements can even be fed into composting plants as biomass.

We want to rethink products, close cycles, and

raise awareness among the public.
