When designing and making furniture
in solid timber, our concern is always that it should last longer than the
original tree took to grow. We also ensure that all our solid timber
comes from sustainably managed forests. For a lot of our corporate
furniture, we find that medium density fibreboard (MDF) lends itself better to
the modern business environment with its rapid heat build-up and loss.
We use fine veneers and solid edgings to enhance the decorative effects of our
high quality furniture.
MDF is the most efficient board
material on the market. About half of its content is wood residues from
sawmills and half comes from forest thinnings which would otherwise be burnt
on site. It makes use of sustainable forestry and is not responsible for
the depletion of tree cover, nor in need of imported timber. |

We have also acted as catalysts and
co-ordinators to initiate two projects in Madagascar with the Scottish charity
Feedback Madagascar. The first of these, with ITF, is a central tree
nursery to help reafforest and to grow necessary trees for crops and economic
regeneration. The second is to help Feedback establish a Training and
Health Centre, to build on work already started with the tree nursery and a
silkworm cultivation and silk weaving project. |
