• With a unique seat made from recycled paper fibers

Sunda is no ordinary stool: its seat is woven from recycled paper fibres – a material that is much more stable than you might think and can easily cope with all everyday situations. The solid trembesi wood used for its frame also stands out from other tropical woods: It does not come from rainforests and, in addition to its sustainability, it also impresses with its exceptional hardness and robustness.

As the woven seat is slightly elastic, Sunda is very comfortable and also ideal for sitting for long periods of time. This stool is not only an additional seat in your home, but also enhances it with its timeless design. The wood is finished simply with a transparent protective varnish to preserve its warm brown colour. Thus, Sunda blends harmoniously into any environment.

Main material: Trembesi (rain tree / monkeypod wood)

Trembesi is also known as the rain tree and can be found widely scattered across Southeast Asia, where it often grows on streets or in parks. Since the tree originally comes from South America, no rainforest has to be cut down to produce wood in Indonesia: the fast-growing tree is usually located in urban areas, where it was planted by human hands as an ornament. In order to limit growth, the sprawling branches are regularly cut and the wood is used for furniture production. Our Trembesi comes from East Java. The wood is relatively similar to teak in terms of its color and structure, but has a significantly better sustainability balance.

Other materials: Recycled paper
