A. Bench
A rationally designed bench in solid elm with a sturdy appearance. With its strong expression the bench serves as seating at a dining table as well as a solitaire. The bench can be ordered in three different lengths spanning from 1000mm to 2100mm depending on the purpose and room.
The furniture is produced in Stockholm with material sourced from trees that have been felled due to elm disease and is delivered with a coordinate of origin. Delivery time 8-10 weeks. A leather cushion can be added with leather from Tärnsjö Garveris surplus stock.
Each piece is manufactured with great care by hand and is, because of the variety in the material, unique.

A. Collection
The material for this collection comes from trees infected with Dutch elm disease, which are being cut down to prevent the disease from spreading. The wood is usually burned, but through our production it is repurposed as furniture. We work together with arborists who supply us with the trees, coordinates and documentation. The furniture is produced locally in Stockholm, where we operate, after the wood has been dried. As a hardwood, elm offers both strength and durability, ensuring that furniture crafted from it will stand the test of time. Its warm, inviting colour and intricate grain patterns make each piece unique.
The collection’s design is simple and rational, with details that create a rich impression, while maintaining local production. The overall aim is for the material to be the centre of attention.

Treatment & care
To preserve the natural charm and durability of the elm wood, we treat the pieces with unpigmented linseed oil. This method enhances the wood’s natural grain and color but also adds an extra layer of protection.
Naturally your furniture will age and change, something we think adds to the richness of the furniture. To ensure its longevity and maintain a radiant appeal, follow these simple care guidelines:
1.Use coasters for beverages and placemats for hot dishes to protect the surface from spills and heat. 2.To replenish the linseed oil finish, apply a small amount of linseed oil as needed, following the linseed manufacturer’s instructions. 3. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive wood cleaner. Always wipe dry immediately.
