S U S TA I N A B I L I T Y 1. WOOD – FSC-LABEL
FOREST STEWARDSHIP COUNCIL FSC is an independent, non-governmental, not-for-profit organization established to promote the responsible management of the world’s forests. Established in 1993 as a response to concerns over global deforestation, FSC is a pioneer forum where the global consensus on responsible forest management convenes and through democratic process effects solutions to the pressures facing the world’s forests and forest-dependent communities. Within this forum, voices from the Global North and South, from organizations big and small, assemble to define environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial and economically viable forest management and identify the tools and resources that will effect positive, lasting change. As a multi-stakeholder organization, FSC applies the directive of its membership to develop forest management and chain of custody standards, deliver trademark assurance and provide accreditation services to a global network of committed businesses, organizations and communities. FSC certification provides a credible link between responsible production and consumption of forest products, enabling consumers and businesses to make purchasing decisions that benefit people and the environment as well as providing ongoing business value.

SUSTAINABILITY:
-FSC certified -FAST GROWING GRASS not WOOD -CO2 NEUTRAL -LOW FORMALDEHYDE EMISSIONS -PANDA FRIENDLY
The alternative wood The largest problem facing humanity at this moment is the planet wide decay of the environment. The large scale exploitation of our natural resources is a serious threat for life. One of these endangered resources is the wood which is stored in millions of trees, in the most precious regions of the world. However, there is one tree which has the potential to overcome this problem. It actually is not a ‘real tree’: it is a grass with wood characteristics. This woody grass is called BAMBOO. This particular kind of grass is the fastest growing plant on earth (up to 1 meter per day in tropical regions). It can grow in almost any climate, but the ‘big bamboo’ is only found in (sub) tropical climates, where certain species can reach heights of 15 to 20 meters (with diameters of 35 cms). The world’s largest bamboo reservoir is located in China. Here the ‘Phyllostachys pubescens’ is a bamboo species which has been used as a woodalternative for centuries. It is grown in managed bamboo forests, where each year ± 30% of the forest is harvested without reducing the forest in size.

molly 70% Norwegian wool / 30% NZ combed yarn 5 series including 16 different designs 140 cm wide Design: Åsa Pärson
The unobtrusive textile The idea behind the Molly upholstery fabric was to create a basic material taking yarn as its starting point. Accordingly, the fabric is not dyed – the colours are derived from the actual wool mix. This gives Molly a delicate, sophisticated look. Molly is 100% simplicity and 100% textile; a natural coloured upholstery fabric made from Norwegian carded woollen yarn and New Zealand combed yarn. This special combination gives the fabric its delicate, simple appearance. Molly’s quality is not to be found in a colour palette or in uniform consistency but in the unobtrusive design of the fabric, the variations in the weave and the sensation of a genuine, natural product. One of the great things about Molly is how suitable it is for use in combination. The 16 Molly designs combine beautifully and Molly also combines very well with other textiles and materials in much bolder colours and designs. Molly’s great strength lies in its unobtrusiveness, purity and simplicity and this is what makes it so readily combinable. Because Molly is undyed, there will be natural colour variations from one consignment to another. This is unavoidable in such a pure, natural product. Molly is woven using wool produced without the use of chemicals and is the creation of Swedish textile designer Åsa Pärson, a graduate of Textilhögskolan, Borås and Konstfack, Stockholm. Molly is her first collection for Kvadrat. Previously, Åsa has worked with victims of landmines in Cambodia, training them to work as weavers. Her textile works have been exhibited in countries including Sweden, France and Japan.
