LIFETIME Stand for Sustainable Materials and Production
Forest Plantation
Our wooden materials come from sustainably driven forest plantations in Northern Europe, Sweden, Finland, and the Baltic countries. All our suppliers provide FSC-certified wood, which is one requirement for responsibly managed forestry. The FSC certification ensures that while trees are being cut, enough trees are planted to maintain resources for future generations and animals.
In the North, where the climate becomes challenging and cold during winter, pine trees grow more slowly than in forest areas with warmer temperatures. As a result, trees take longer to grow as it is challenging to grow in the harsh and cold climate. This makes the pine wood both harder and more durable than fast-growing pine from warmer forests. Our wood is given the time it needs to achieve the right conditions without the addition of artificial growing agents. We set strict requirements because we wish to use the absolute best wood for our premium furniture production.
The Proces
Our machines refine the wood that arrives in raw cuts to our production facility. After processing the wooden parts, we apply environmentally friendly and water-based lacquer to both seal and protect the wood. The lacquer is neither harmful to employees working with it nor to the environment. It makes the wood safe to use for children and protects it from environmental impacts.
We use pine wood with knots for our beds in Whitewash. Here you can see the beautiful pattern of the wood, as it shines through and provides our whitewash beds with a wonderful natural look.
Our white furniture shows no wooden texture and is made from knot-free pine. Fronts for wardrobes and drawers in white are made of MDF, to ensure that, although the wood changes shape with time, the doors and drawers will always perfectly fit and close.
Our Ambitions
Our ambitions to create a sustainable product do not stop with our material choices. Our main packaging material is made of recycled materials, and together with our collaborators, we continuously search for more sustainable packaging solutions. Optimisation and sustainability impact our decision-making daily, so that our customers know that we have made a responsible choice for them.
