ALVA
INSPIRED BY BIRCH.
For us, sustainability does not start with production, but as early as in the development of ideas for new collections. Unique pieces can only be created by focusing on durability and a timeless design that you want to keep for a lifetime There is therefore no better source of inspiration for our designers than nature.
Birch is one of the most fascinating natural materials that continues to inspire us. With its soft, light surface and graphic grain, it has a special beauty. But above all, its wood is characterised by durability, flexibility, tear resistance and robustness. Thanks to its cold-resistant properties, it was the first tree to colonise the soil after the Ice Age. Even „Ötzi“ kept his most valuable everyday companions in birch bark containers.

Birch is one of the most fascinating natural materials thatcontinues to inspire us. With its soft, light surface andgraphic grain, it has a special beauty.

To preserve this natural wonder, we peel the bark for ourrear panels from the living tree so that it can regenerateon it. The moss or verdigris is usually still visible on theseuntreated originals. But the wood for our new Alva rangealso comes from forests where only as much wood is takenas is able to grow back.
