Each piece of wood stores CO2 absorbed by the tree through photosynthesis. Our goal is to keep that carbon sequestered for as long as possible.
Carefully selected materials
Responsible purchasing – FSC® certification
It is crucial that we preserve forests because they play a vital role in absorbing carbon from the atmosphere and providing habitats for biodiversity, and many communities around the world depend on their resources. The FSC® certification ensures that the solid wood we use for our products comes from responsibly managed forests. It guarantees that the forests are managed in a way that protects biodiversity and that is socially and economically beneficial to local communities. The silvicultural practices used are designed to preserve the diversity of flora and fauna and enable forests to be conserved for the long term.
In 2023, 55% of our solid-wood products were FSC®-certified.
Repairability - Built to Last
Unlike synthetic materials or composites, solid wood is strong and durable. It stands the test of time, withstanding daily wear and tear without losing its beauty. When your furniture can be repaired, it lasts longer — reducing the need for new pieces, which require additional energy and natural resources to produce. By choosing to repair rather than replace helps conserve resources, reducing energy consumption, and minimize waste.
Materials we no longer use
In order to offer you solid, repairable products that stand the test of time, we have chosen to use solid wood. There are also a number of materials we now refuse to use in our products. For example, we no longer use MDF (Medium-Density Fiberboard), as it is much harder to repair than solid wood.
Eco-design is about integrating environmental considerations into the product design process to minimize the negative impacts on the environment, throughout the product's entire life cycle.
Our products account for the largest part of our carbon footprint. To reduce this, we are committed to adopting an eco-design approach.
Life cycle assessments
At Tikamoon, we've taken our sustainability efforts further by not only measuring our carbon footprint, but also carrying out life cycle assessments (LCAs) of our products. LCAs measure the environmental impact of our products at each stage of their life cycle, including raw material production, furniture manufacturing, transportation and end-of-life.
We launched this project in 2021, initially focusing on 80 products as a representative sample of our range. As we continue this project in 2024, our goal is to complete life cycle assessments for our entire furniture collection.
Why choose us
Free two-year warranty
Our furniture is designed to last. We're perfectionists when it comes to craftsmanship, always striving to get things just right. But it’s not just about the quality — we also want to minimize our environmental footprint. By using solid wood and traditional assembly methods, our furniture is built to be strong, durable and easy to repair, so you can enjoy it for years to come.
