The base for our manufacturing is a beautiful and biologically diverse forest at the far end of Vänernäs, one hour from the workshop. Trees are only taken down when they are mature, the rest of the forest grows naturally.
The wood is sawn on the farm in dimensions that suit our production of kitchens and furniture. In this collaboration we learn what it actually means to build with what can be picked from a local forest that has so many more values than simply becoming part of the general timber market.
When we limit ourselves to the raw materials of the forest, we need to use other, often old techniques to join the furniture together. This stool is made of pine from the area and is assembled without screws and glue. We kept the natural variations of the wood, so often lost in the industrial process.
