A good idea gets better - that’s what BESTÅ’s about.

BESTÅ is made from board-on-stripes (BoS), another strong and light material that minimizes the use of resources. Just like LACK, it has a honeycombed paper filling, but the production technique is more efficient. Long strips of particle board or MDF are laid out on fiberboard sheets of up to 250 by 500 cm, the paper filling is placed between the strips and then topped with another thin layer of fiberboard. The construction is then cut to the product’s final shape and dimensions before being lacquered or veneered.

‘Better’ cotton and smarter ways to weave it.

The cotton in DVALA bed linen, called “Better Cotton” is grown in a more sustainable way, using substantially less water, chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Not only that, the fabric is woven using 15% less cotton but still feels just as good as comparable bed linen.

The best recycling: toys your children pass on to their kids.

MULA is a series of safe and durable wooden toys that stimulate children’s creativity. By using hard woods such as beech and birch without knots and cracks, the toys are built for many years of play. Wood, paints and lacquer are safe for both children and grown-ups.

The star of this design is the way it travels

Our Starbase is a huge innovation, allowing us to stop transporting a lot of the air normally present in big and awkwardly shaped office chair packaging. VERKSAM swivel chairs are one of the first to be re-launched with a new Starbase assembly system where the five legs in the base snap together at the center. It’s quick and easy for the customer, and the chair is just as stable and sturdy. Meanwhile, the number of VERKSAM chairs transported per container has nearly doubled which lead to less CO2 emissions. And soon lots of other office chairs will follow VERKSAM.

80% recycled, 75% less CO2, 100% flat.

KASSETT magazine files are made from 80% recycled paper, and now arrive to our customers flat folded. This means more files per truck, for less impact on the environment (and a better price). Each pallet now holds five times as many KASSETT. CO2 emissions from transporting it have decreased 75%.
