What we make our lights from
Our materials
Interesting facts about wood
As you may already know, the annual rings of wood tell us the age of the tree. Each ring represents a year of growth. But what else do the annual rings indicate? The width of the rings provides information about the living conditions. Thin rings may be due to drought or pest infestation. The wider the rings, the better the tree is doing. Oval rings are usually found in trees that are exposed to strong winds or grow on slopes.
High standards of quality
When selecting our materials, we exclusively use the best quality from trusted manufacturers. Our woods, sourced from a German company, are certified according to the FSC standard and are processed into beautiful wooden lamps.
The goal and challenge of the FSC standard is to ensure ecologically sustainable, socially beneficial, and economically viable management of forests worldwide. The wood veneers consist of 100% real wood, produced in Germany according to our specifications. Given the high standards we set for the quality and durability of our lamps, this is of crucial importance. Our wood veneer is a custom-made product with a specially developed fabric structure, which makes the thin wood of the lamps extremely resilient. At the same time, their flexibility and unique grain remain intact.
No endangered wood species
Fine selection
You can get our lights in five different wood types. The options include walnut, oak, olive ash, cherry wood, and amber tree. But how do you decide, and how do you know which wood types go well together? Basically, you can orient yourself around light and dark wood types. For a light dining table, for example made of oak, it would be advisable to choose one of our light wood lights like oak, olive ash, or amber tree. If the lamp is not in direct proximity to other wooden furniture, you can opt for one of our unique wood lights, for example made of zebra wood. You can find more detailed information and tips on choosing the right light here.
Easy-care and durable
The wood from which we build our lights is extremely durable and very low maintenance. The wood veneer is oiled by us and sealed with a UV lacquer, which prevents the wood from fading due to sunlight exposure. Thanks to the spirally arranged stripes, you won't have to deal with dust deposits, and the high-quality wood with a very smooth surface requires no special care. If you ever want to clean your light, a simple duster or a slightly damp cloth is recommended for wiping.
Upcycling is important to us
From the scraps of veneer, we make fruit bowls and bookmarks.
