Our long-time commitment to environmental practices assures that your office meets today’s sustainability standards. From the outset, we select a variety of FSC-certified species (FSC® C028824) –from walnut to teak– for their durability and intrinsic beauty. These quality veneers, with their unique patterns and colors, come together create furniture with refined elegance and scale.
