Durable materials
As visionaries in the field of library design, it is our duty to think about future generations and the environment. We believe that sustainability and responsibility are not just a part of our business but a crucial aspect of our social responsibility.
We aspire to create libraries that serve as examples of how to create beautiful, functional spaces while protecting and respecting the environment. Our products and solutions are developed with care and our furniture is designed to be durable and timeless, minimizing the need for frequent replacement and thus conserving resources.
When we craft our furniture and interior solutions, with a deep respect for nature. We often use recyclable materials and support forest management initiatives that ensure wood from sustainable forestry.
Our furniture is designed to withstand the test of time, and we go above and beyond to ensure that they are easy to maintain and often can be recycled at the end of their lifespan. This is part of our commitment to reducing waste and minimizing consumption. We believe that responsible library design is not only environmentally beneficial but also economically advantageous in the long run.

Electricity consumption reduced with more than 35%
Numbers speak for themselves. We believe in the power of conscious choices for shaping a better future. Over the last two years, we have reduced our electricity consumption with more than 35% in our warehouse and head office.
By engaging our employees in energy-saving initiatives, such as turning off lights, we have significantly reduced our electricity consumption. Additionally, we have transitioned to LED lighting, further cutting down our electricity.
Our efforts to cut down on electricity usage in our offices are part of a broader commitment to sustainability. We understand that environmental responsibility extends beyond electricity. As such, we continually explore ways to minimize waste, promote recycling and use durable materials in our designs. Our furniture is crafted with longevity in mind, ensuring they stand the test of time while reducing the need for frequent replacements.
