Making furniture and interior design from upcycled waste materials 

Furniture and interior buyers struggle to find alternatives to the current wasteful virgin-material based industry. We are two design entrepreneurs who are redefining sustainable furniture. We believe that there is immense value to be found in wooden waste materials from the construction industry and we seek to change the narrative of virgin materials being the only true source of luxury.

We engage the upcycled materials through digital fabrication allowing us to reintroduce the materials to a circular economy thereby prolonging the life of otherwise discarded resources. In short, we seek to offer a true sustainable alternative to the current wasteful furniture production.

Our pieces are made entirely from reclaimed wood giving each a unique visual expression and one-of-a-kind stories of origin.We have secured partnerships with two larger Copenhagen based firms for acquiring materials used in our early state manufacturing and we've received our first large commission.

Currently we are working on a range of prototypes from discarded plywood elaborating on our catalogue of products. In addition, we have just finished designing and are about to start the construction of our first commercial piece commissioned for a brand-new school in Hørsholm.
