Mahogany & Teakwood<br />
“A product’s lifetime is crucial to the environ-mental load. It is a going<br />
concern if the aim is to operate in the most sustainable way possible.<br />
Products in use for a long time lead to a significantly less environmental<br />
impact than those wasted after a few years and needing regular replacement.<br />
The joy and satisfaction of a product that also stays spectacular and functional<br />
year after year, just gives sustainability a different meaning.”<br />
Bamboo grows extremely fast and is ready to harvest in<br />
4-6 years. Bamboo regenerates itself from its existing root system and is<br />
one of the fastest growing plants on earth.<br />
Giving 25 times more wood per hectare per year than<br />
traditional hardwood forests, it is an extremely sustainable material, and<br />
our natural choice for furniture.<br />
Fresh bamboo has a yellowish natural color, however, the bamboo we use<br />
for our furniture has gone through a<br />
steaming process (carbonizing) to gain the warm glow<br />
similar to untreated oak or teakwood.<br />
Vertical carbonized bamboo<br />
We have developed vertical carbonized bamboo production for use in<br />
our furniture. The vertical bamboo strips are glued and pressed together<br />
giving a slim and straight-line pattern with subdued bamboo shoot<br />
visible at the surface.<br />
There are good reasons for selecting products made from wood. As well<br />
as being a beautiful, vibrant and natural material that feels good to<br />
touch, wood is a renewable resource. Unlike many other materials based<br />
on oil, coal or metals, wood is sustainable, recyclable, and decomposes<br />
naturally. From the perspective of climate control, our willingness and<br />
determination to manage forest resources is crucial, and consumers<br />
and producers need to know whether a piece of timber has sustainable<br />
origins.<br />
Certification systems backed by the EU and responsible timber<br />
producing countries document the path from forest to consumer, and<br />
Cinas has a firm policy in this regard. All of our timber and finished<br />
wood products are procured from producers covered by the two.<br />
