That's an excellent and very important question. We are deeply committed to sustainability, and the answer is a resounding yes. The timber used for our wooden urban benches is exclusively sourced from forests that are certified as sustainably managed, primarily under the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) system.
This means our suppliers must adhere to strict environmental, social, and economic standards. Trees are harvested at a rate that allows the forest to regenerate naturally, biodiversity is protected, and the rights of workers and local communities are respected. We prioritize species known for their durability and natural resistance, which extends the bench's lifespan and reduces the need for chemical treatments.
Choosing FSC-certified wood ensures that for every tree cut down, several more are planted or allowed to grow. It’s a cycle of renewal. This responsible sourcing is a core part of our mission to create beautiful, long-lasting public furniture that communities can enjoy for decades, without compromising the health of our planet. When you choose our benches, you're investing in both quality craftsmanship and a greener future.
