Each plank of wood stores CO2 that has been keptby the tree through photosynthesis. Our aim is to ensure that carbon remains stored 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 - Preserving wood: furniture for future generations
Unlike synthetic materials or composites, solid wood is strong and durable. It can stand the test of time – it can endure daily wear and tear without losing its beauty. If furniture can be repaired, it lasts for longer and preserves the resources that are needed to produce it. Buying new furniture requires new materials, which in turn consumes energy and natural resources. Therefore by choosing to repair your furniture, rather than buying new pieces, you are reducing energy consumption and helping to preserve natural resources.
Renunciations
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. We no longer use MDF (Medium-density fiberboard), which is much harder to repair than solid wood.
Eco-design incorporates environmental considerations into the product design process with the aim of minimizing the negative environmental impacts that the product has throughout its entire life cycle.
Our products make up the largest component of our carbon footprint. In order to reduce this, we are working on adopting an eco-design approach.
Life-cycle assessments
At Tikamoon, we decided to not only measure our carbon footprint, but to also carry out life-cycle assessments of our products. This assessment measures the environmental impact of our products at every stage of their life cycle, in particular the production of raw materials, the manufacture of the furniture, their transportation and their end-of-life.
We launched this project in 2021. We initially selected 80 products as a representative sample of our product categories. In 2024, we continue to work on this project and our aim is to carry out life-cycle assessments on our entire range of furniture products.
Our Advantages
Two-year guarantee
Our furniture is designed to last. This is because we are perfectionists and want to do our work well, but also because we want to limit the impact we have on our planet. We use solid wood and traditional assembly methods, making our furniture strong, durable and easy to repair.
