We love solid wood!
Values create confidence and security. More than ever people yearn after steadiness, after things that outlast the rapid change and connect past and future – things, manufactured in harmony with nature and men. Being a pioneer in natural furnishing, we attach great importance to the fact that our furniture and accessories are manufactured under eco-friendly and fair conditions. Our products are exclusively made of natural materials that come from sustainably managed cultivable areas. Due to the hand-crafted, traditional and qualitative processing, today’s our products will still be of top quality tomorrow, and hence, make a contribution to protecting our health and environment.
Our Culture
Our brand is for everyone. Our products are made for every gender, skin colour and age group. No matter your religion, sexuality or ethnicity – we make no distinctions. On the contrary: we love diversity! We support gender justice and equal opportunities – because every person should feel comfortable in their own skin. We want to promote this even more strongly in the future. And of course, this also applies to our team: everyone can be themselves. No one has to pretend. We believe that this protected environment is the key to creating an open-minded, harmonious community – one that inspires a lot of good!
From forest into the living space
We care about regional procurement structures. As a company, we really strive to ensure that our partners and producers share our company's values and are not spread around the world. The flexibility of a regional network of suppliers is, aside from keeping journeys short, reducing pollutant and CO2 emissions, an important component of Ecolignum's operational efficiency. Another positive impact is the creation and retention of high-quality jobs within the European Union. Moreover, the coniferous and deciduous trees from which our products are made grow for decades in sustainable forestry, are PEFC or FSC certified and are felled and processed exclusively within the European Union.
Our Values
A strong sense of identity and independence is of vital importance to us. What makes us unique and gives us that added advantage are our close ties with the region of "East Westphalia". Everything we do is based on our core values: honesty, sustainability, responsibility and equality. We are the first generation to run the company independently of outside capital interests and the influence of third parties. Since October 2016, our company has been committed to helping the most vulnerable in society – those who are least able to influence the way the world is! We are partners of the SOS Children's Villages, support the organisation "Save the Children Deutschland e.V." and are members of "Kindernothilfe e.V". We are committed to doing our best for children whose lives we want to change for the better. And this in a place where the founders and other colleagues can personally make a difference directly on site - namely in this region.
We act conscious sustainably
Anyone who works with wood is familiar with the term sustainability. Indeed, this refers to the forest. We maintain this self-sustaining ecosystem by ensuring that no more wood is felled than can regrow naturally. In terms of economic activity in general, this means that anyone who acts in a sustainable manner will also guarantee that the fundamentals for our existence are also preserved for future generations. This refers, first and foremost, to the company itself, the internal processes and the finished products: all Ecolignum collections are manufactured in such a way that they can be returned to the natural cycle at any time. Yet sustainability doesn’t stop there: Our efforts and activities in and for the region are characterised by sustainability. For example, we run an almost paperless office, use only electric forklifts and support projects that ensure the reforestation of local forests.
