Wooden furniture

  • INICIO
  • THE 7 LIFES OF WOOD
  • WHAT KIND OF WOOD
  • AT HOME

- At home I have all the furniture and the carpentry made of wood, I like it because it is natural, noble, warm, nice...

- Come on! You have got no conscience or what? Don't you know we are deforesting all forests?!

- Yes, of course I know it, but I do not have a single brand new piece of furniture! The bookshelf was my great grand-father's, the dining table from a neighbour that left the city, the chairs I got them from a restaurant that were changing their furniture, the bedside table I found it at the street and it has been left as new, the sofa... ah no, the sofa, yes we bought it, but to a manufacturers who only uses local wood that has been achieved by sustainable wood production. And the beds we also bought them and there is nothing particular about them, because we had not found any interesting option.

- ... Oh... I see. And to think that I had given up wood as a good ecologist....

Keep this in mind!
Wood is very long-lasting. We have several ways to find furniture made long ago and it is not very difficult to treat it well so that it lasts a lot.

Extraction of wood may contribute to deforestation or either to give life to forests and to plantations. It all depends of how everything is handled. Let us see that it has the FSC stamp.

Planks permit us to use wood waste. It is convenient that they have little harmful resins.
